Outdoor Living Goals: Blind & Shutter Ideas for Alfresco, Decks and Balconies
When it comes to making the most of your outdoor space—whether it’s a sunny balcony, an alfresco dining area, or a cozy deck—what you choose to shield your space matters. At Security Plus Shutters, Doors & Blinds, we believe your outdoor zones should offer freedom, comfort and peace of mind year-round.
We’ve spent over 30 years helping Australian families reimagine outdoor living, and we’re here to show you how blinds and shutters can do more than just “cover a space”—they can transform it.
Why Outdoor Blinds & Shutters Are a Game-Changer
Outdoor living is part of the Australian lifestyle. But the sun, wind, rain, and prying eyes can easily turn a relaxing spot into a less-than-ideal space. That’s where tailored window furnishings come in.
Here’s why outdoor blinds and shutters are worth considering:
- Control the Elements: Wind, rain or harsh sun can make outdoor spaces unusable. Blinds like our eZip track blinds and outdoor awnings let you take back control of your space in every season.
- Year-Round Use: Turn your alfresco into an all-weather room, perfect for entertaining in winter or cooling down in summer.
- Privacy on Demand: Whether you live close to neighbours or just want your own quiet retreat, the right blinds add instant privacy—without compromising on natural light.
- Boost Your Home’s Appeal: A stylish set of custom outdoor blinds or plantation shutters adds immediate value and sophistication to your façade.
Top Outdoor Shutter & Blind Ideas for Outdoor Living
Let’s dive into the best solutions for modern outdoor spaces in Melbourne and Sydney.
eZip Outdoor Blinds for Alfresco Areas
One of the most advanced outdoor blind systems available, eZip blinds are designed for windy, wet, and high-use environments.
- Lock-in zips ensure fabric tension and eliminate flapping.
- Fully enclosed side channels offer maximum protection from dust, insects and UV.
- Sleek finishes mean they blend into any architectural style.
- Motorised options allow remote or smart-home control.
These are a smart, modern solution for turning your alfresco into a stylish, sheltered room.
Plantation Shutters for Balconies
Looking for something low maintenance and timeless? Aluminium plantation shutters are perfect for upper-floor balconies.
- Fixed, hinged or bi-fold configurations suit different balcony layouts.
- Provide airflow without sacrificing shade or privacy.
- Powder-coated finishes resist weather and salt spray—ideal for coastal homes.
Plantation shutters also act as windbreaks, making your balcony usable in most weather conditions.
Roller Shutters for Decks in Bushfire-Prone Zones
Here’s the truth: not all outdoor solutions are made equal. If you live near bushland or in a fire-prone region, bushfire-rated roller shutters aren’t optional—they’re essential.
- Tested and approved for BAL-40 conditions.
- Aluminium construction with fire-resistant insulation.
- Shields windows and glass doors from radiant heat, ember attacks and windborne debris.
We are the go-to provider in Victoria and New South Wales for certified bushfire shutters and fire attenuation screens. Our expert team will advise on compliance and ensure your space is future-proofed.
Outdoor Blinds for Decks & Entertaining Zones
Simple, elegant, and adaptable—outdoor blinds give you instant flexibility.
- Choose from clear PVC for visibility or mesh for airflow and shade.
- Custom-fitted for odd-sized or angled decks.
- Add automation for quick, effortless adjustments with a remote or smartphone.
Your deck should be an extension of your home—one that works just as hard as your living room.
FAQs: Outdoor Blinds, Bushfire Safety & More
Q: Can outdoor blinds withstand strong winds?
Yes. Systems like our eZip blinds feature side retention channels and tensioned fabrics designed specifically for high-wind areas.
Q: What’s the difference between bushfire shutters and fire attenuation screens?
Bushfire shutters (BAL-rated) are designed to resist direct flame, radiant heat and ember attack. Fire attenuation screens reduce the spread of flame and radiant heat to meet specific building codes—especially useful for multi-dwelling properties.
Q: Are outdoor blinds energy-efficient?
Absolutely. Blinds help reduce solar heat gain in summer and retain warmth in winter, cutting down energy bills and making your outdoor areas more liveable.
Q: Can I motorise all outdoor products?
Yes. Many of our outdoor shutters and blinds are available with motorised or smart-home integration for seamless operation.
