It’s no secret we love outdoor entertaining in Australia

But planning for the changing weather can feel nearly impossible. Solar roller blinds offer a practical solution, protecting from the sun, rain and wind, while also being eco-friendly and energy-efficient. Whether it’s a family BBQ, relaxing with friends or hosting customers, solar blinds help you enjoy your outdoor area all year round.

What are solar blinds?

Solar powered blinds take the edge off harsh heat and glare by softening the sun, without closing your home off from the natural light you love. If you’ve got large windows or sliding doors, you’ll know how quickly a room can shift from bright and beautiful to uncomfortably hot. 

Solar blinds help bring it back to a comfortable temperature, so your home stays a place you actually want to spend time in.

What does “openness factor” mean?  

Solar blinds use a special open-weave material that lets you keep your view while still cutting glare and heat. This is called the “openness factor.” 

  • 1%–3% openness – Best for high-sun areas and privacy, and blocks more glare and heat.
  • 5% openness – A balanced option for everyday living spaces and lets in natural light while reducing glare.
  • 10% openness – Best for shaded or covered areas where you want maximum light and visibility.

As a general rule, the sunnier the room, the tighter the weave you should choose. We’re all about making your home feel comfortable without thinking too hard about it. 

How can solar blinds transform your home or business?  

You put a lot of care into creating a home that looks good, and most of us have a spot that we want to use more. Solar blinds aren’t just for summer; they extend the way spaces are used across the year.  

They help you enjoy your whole home more often. It’s perfect for:

FAQs about Solar Blinds

What are solar blinds?

Solar shade blinds are designed to soften harsh sunlight without completely blocking your view. Their open-weave fabric helps reduce glare, heat, and UV exposure while still letting natural light in.

How are solar blinds different from regular roller blinds?

Unlike standard roller blinds, solar shade blinds filter sunlight rather than fully block it out. You still get natural light and daytime views, just without the glare.

Can solar blinds reduce energy costs?

They can help keep rooms cooler by reducing heat coming through windows, so this may help reduce reliance on air conditioning during warmer months.

How much UV do solar blinds block?

Solar blinds in Australian homes are designed to block a high percentage of harmful UV rays, which helps to protect your furniture, flooring, and interiors from fading over time.

Can solar blinds be motorised?

Yes. Many solar powered blinds can be motorised, which is convenient for large windows or hard-to-reach spaces.
