External window coverings such as clear PVC blindsshadeview blindsroller shutters and awnings – straight dropfolding arm and alpha styles can all be motorised.

WHY ADD MOTORISATION to external blinds?

External clear PVC blinds keep the wind and rain at bay, allowing you to enjoy the great outdoors in any weather.

Shadeview blinds are usually designed to filter sunlight and the view rather than blocking it out entirely, while still maintaining your privacy. You have many options regarding UV resistance, strength, maintenance levels, and of course colour.
