How to keep your cool while enjoying outdoor summer living

Retractable roof systems

With shade options like retractable roof systems families can enjoy the benefits of the summer shade and, in the winter months they continue to benefit from the waterproof materials, integrated gutters and downpipes and optional dimmable LED lighting. Shade solutions such as these are practical, economical, prestigious yet attainable.

External blinds and venetians

Gone are the days of the old, striped canvas outdoor awnings and the open-style folding-arm awnings that shaded part of your garden or deck.

Homeowners and investors are making the move to sophisticated all-weather solutions that are not only stylish and add value to their homes but, importantly, are turning large and small outdoor areas into additional weather-protected year-round living areas.

‘The one thing that really rings true from all these great living ideas is that people want quality, diversity, and value for money,’ says Jesse Johnson from Concept Shade. ‘Investors and homeowners alike don’t just want a shade solution, they want a lifestyle solution that doesn’t restrict outdoor living to just spring and summer.’

Outdoor blinds and venetians have come a long way in recent years with a discreet, sleek look that integrates well into most façades or patio environments. Most popular are the motorised zip screen systems that are perfect for their ease in shielding entertainment areas from the harsh western sun as well as keeping heat in during the cooler months.

Louvre roofs and privacy screens

Louvres remain a reliable and versatile product. You can integrate louvered roofs into almost any outdoor area, giving you unparalleled control over light and heat. Or close them off, put some heating on and enjoy the outside even when you get that unexpected shower just when you’ve planned a barbecue day. They are equally great as screens to give you privacy from the neighbours.
