Outdoor Blinds for Issy Bar at Bruny Island

Image
We have just installed some outdoor blinds at Issy's Bar Bruny Island.  The Izzy Bar is a chilled out expression of how the locals live, grow, harvest, ferment, pickle, eat and drink on Bruny Island. Resident artisan bakers cook with fire in the woodfired oven, creating wild ferment sourdough pizzas, flatbreads and marinated delights. The onsite orchard and herb gardens guide the menu, and neighbours deliver produce by bicycle – goat curd, gin and apple schnapps. The Izzy Bar overlooks Isthmus Bay, The Neck, and is a little hidden gem. The blinds are both a Ziptrack system and lock down patio outdoor blind. The mesh fabric will provide some privacy to guest on the inside while not reducing views from outside. https://www.taylorandstirling.com.au/outdoor-blinds-for-issy-bar-at-bruny-island/?feed_id=831&_unique_id=66a440e27c568

Large Width Honeycomb Blinds to 5m

Image
We are now able to offer honeycomb blinds or cellular shades to maximum width of 5 metres wide.  These can be motorised or chain drive ideally the motorised version is an easier lift given the total weight of the fabric. Shown here is a motorised honeycomb blind to 5m wide with a day night blind. This large format width of 5m will enable a single honeycomb blind to be installed on large format windows. So if you are looking for wide width blinds then call to discuss your requirements Large width blinds offer several advantages: Maximized Coverage : Larger blinds can cover expansive windows or glass doors more effectively, providing better privacy and light control. Fewer Gaps : With fewer blinds or panels needed to cover a wide window, there are fewer gaps for light to seep through, resulting in better light blockage when fully closed. Streamlined Aesthetics : Large blinds can create a cleaner, more stream

Retractable Louvered Roof Vrs Tilt Louvered roof

Image
The main difference between a tilt louvered roof and a retractable louvered roof lies in their functionality and how they control sunlight and weather elements: Tilt Louvered Roof (Fixed Louvers): Functionality: A tilt louvered roof consists of fixed louvers (slats or panels) that are angled to control sunlight and airflow. Adjustability: The louvers can typically be adjusted manually or sometimes via a motorized mechanism to change the angle of the slats. Purpose: The primary purpose of a tilt louvered roof is to provide shade and ventilation while allowing some natural light to filter through. It helps regulate the temperature and brightness of the area underneath. Weather Protection: While they offer some protection from sun and light rain, tilt louvered roofs are generally not designed to fully retract or close tightly to provide complete shelter from heavy rain or snow. Retractable Louvered Roof: Functionality: A retractable louve

Blinds for Triangle Windows

Image
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]While honeycomb blinds are typically designed for standard rectangular or square windows, it's possible to have honeycomb blinds custom-made to fit triangular windows. These specialized blinds for triangular windows are often referred to as triangle honeycomb blinds or triangular cellular shades. We are now manufacturing our triangle blinds in Ballarat plant and will no longer be importing these from overseas.

Winter Blues - Try Cell in Cell Honeycombs

Image
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Finding the house a littler colder this winter, call in and discuss our new fabric range with "Cell in Cell" structure. Cell-in-cell honeycomb blinds are designed to be more heat efficient compared to standard honeycomb blinds due to their enhanced insulation properties. The cell-in-cell structure creates additional air pockets within the honeycomb cells, which further improves their insulating capabilities. Here’s how they contribute to increased heat efficiency: Multiple Air Layers: The cell-in-cell design means there are more layers of air trapped within the blinds. Air is a poor conductor of heat, so these layers create a barrier that reduces heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the room. Thermal Resistance: The additional air pockets increase the blinds' R-value, which is a measure of thermal resistance. Higher R-values indicate better insulation and greater resistance to heat flow, helping to maintai
