“I often opt for a neutral palette with my blinds so that I can change up the decoratives seasonally.
If you do it right the first time with quality locally made blinds like those from Brax, you will only have to do it once! ”
— Julia Green, Greenhouse Interiors
The Brax Sun Blinds
Sun Blinds (often called outdoor roller blinds or Ziptrak® blinds) are heavy-duty screens that drop down from above to shade your outdoor areas. They work like roller blinds but are built for the elements. The fabric is tensioned in tracks on the sides (Ziptrak® or similar), so the blind stays steady in wind and seals out sun and insects. When open, a Sun Blind disappears into its housing; when down, it creates an outdoor wall of shade.
Block the Glare, Keep the View
Sun Blinds offer fantastic sun protection without closing off your space. If you choose a mesh fabric, it will block up to 90% of UV rays and reduce heat, while still letting light and air through. You can even see outside – the mesh acts like shade cloth. For full privacy and blackout, there are heavier fabrics too. Pull the blind down to the desired level to cut glare on your TV or protect patio furniture from fading. When the sun goes down, roll the blind up and enjoy the open-air feeling again.
- Max UV protection: Keeps up to 95% of UV rays out of your alfresco area.
- Weather-resistant fabrics: High-tenacity mesh and PVC, tough against fading and mildew.
- Smooth operation: Motorised or spring-assisted mechanisms; most have a chain or rod.
- ZipTrack® or tracks: Side channels keep the blind secure in wind and create a tight seal.
- Custom colours: Fabric and hardware colours to match your home’s exterior.
Year-Round Comfort
Sun Blinds can extend the living space of your home. In summer they keep you cool and shielded from bugs; in shoulder seasons they can cut cool winds and light drizzle. You can enclose a patio almost like a room. Many Geelong homeowners use them on verandahs and pergolas to create an outdoor lounge.
These blinds are also motorisation-ready, meaning they can be linked to a smart-home system or remote control. For example, one button can lower all blinds around your patio at once. Safety features like auto-stop in case of obstruction are standard.
Stylish and Practical
Sun Blinds add clean lines to your exterior. The housing (cassette) and tracks are usually aluminium in neutral colours. When the blind is raised, the housing blends into the eaves. When lowered, the blind creates privacy from neighbours and blocks wind while still letting you enjoy the outside view if you choose a clear or meshed fabric.
In short, Sun Blinds Geelong let you decide how open or sheltered your outdoor area is. They keep the sun out of your eyes and off your skin, without ever feeling completely closed-in. Sit back and relax under shade – the way you like it – with Brax Sun Blinds keeping the elements at bay.
