What are Melbourne Sunblinds?

Sunblindsor sun shades are special shades or roll up blinds that are ideal for sunny places like Melbourne. A sunblind is usually a piece of cloth on a frame that sticks out over a door or window. Also known as awnings, sunblinds can be placed outside or inside homes, stores, or establishments. It can be a kind of canopy that acts as a shield against intense sunlight or even rain. Some sunshades totally block the sun, while most sun shades are made with materials that allow some of the natural light to come through minus the uncomfortable heat.

Sunblinds are easy to install and they can make your Melbourne home more comfortable. They also come in various colours and designs to perfectly fit your home’s design.

• Rope and Pulley Blinds – This is an old-style manually operated (using the rope and pulley) roll-up blind fixed at the top to an aluminium sail track. The rope loops around a bottom bar on the left and right of the blind and is then attached to a pulley on one side.  It is a great shutter solution for the sloping veranda roof where no other systems can be used.
