Aspiration Outdoors

Outdoor blinds (also called external blinds) are weather-resistant blinds designed to be installed outside windows, on patios, pergolas, balconies or conservatories. They use sturdier materials and hardware to handle wind, rain, sun and temperature changes unlike indoor blinds which are meant only for interior conditions.

• They help reduce heat and glare from direct sunlight — keeping indoor spaces cooler in summer and reducing fading of furniture and flooring.
• They improve energy efficiency by lowering cooling needs in warm weather, and helping retain heat in colder conditions.
• They offer privacy for patios, balconies or ground-floor windows, without having to sacrifice airflow or view if you choose “screen” or mesh-style blinds.
• They protect outdoor furniture, decking and interior furnishings from UV damage, weather, and excessive sunlight — prolonging their lifetime.

Yes some outdoor blinds use special screen fabrics or mesh that block glare and provide privacy but still allow light and airflow.

They can by blocking direct sunlight before it hits your windows, outdoor blinds significantly reduce solar heat gain, which in turn reduces reliance on air conditioning or fans during warm weather.
