0:01 – Introduction
Hi, I’m Jason from the brand Blockout Blinds and today, I’m going to show you how you make more use of your Patio over summer. Well a lot of us have Patios at the back of our house and these days they’re becoming cheaper and cheaper to construct made from Aluminium etcetera colour bond.
0:27 – Do you have an unused patio at the back of the house?
So a lot of us now are adding on patios to the back of our house. But still we have clients that are under-utilising them thinking they going to get a lot of use and they don’t. Well why is that?
0:43 – Built patio with no shade or privacy
Well let’s have a look at this first photo here where you can see a patio that’s been built very nice there but the problem is, the sunsets at the back of the house and every afternoon the Sun shines through. So basically sitting out in the patio enjoying a wine at the end of the day or a beer just becomes impractical because it’s too hot and the glare is in your eyes. Also, the Sun is heating up the back door and everything making the house hotter. So what do we do?
1:13 – Spring Roller Awnings might be the answer for your patio space
Well in this case, let’s have a look at the next photo; you can see here looking back in towards the house where we put up what we call Spring Roller Awnings with a gear and a crank.
1:26 – A Fantastic Solution for your patio, adding privacy and shade
So we have the three awnings that are put on the outside there, they clip down into the ground at the bottom. To put the blind up, you un clip it and you can see the crank handle hanging there on the corner blind, you turn the crank handle, the blind winds up nice and neat and it’s out of sight, out of mind. The crank is an absolute must on a spring roller in this scenario just makes it so much more easier to operate and quicker which is fantastic. Here we have sort of a charcoal grey colour screen fabric, which is really popular at the moment, has been for the last few years. So that’s the outside view and you will notice that you can’t see in which is fantastic.
2:15 – What do the blinds look from the inside?
So let’s flip it around now and go inside the patio, we’ll look at this next photo and here’s the view outside. Because it’s a Charcoal fabric, a dark fabric, it allows you to see out more effectively than a lighter colour would. And as you can see in this photo here you have quite of a good view. So not only can you sit outside now and stop the sun and the glare, and also the wind and I suppose it was windy, you can stop a bit of the rain too. But you can stop prying eyes looking in and seeing what you’re doing.
2:39 – Making your patio more functional
So there you go, one solution of many that we have for making your outdoor patio area more functional over summer and in winter. So maybe it’s something that you might want to consider.
I hope you found this interesting, and until next time.
