Mesh blinds are a great choice for those looking year-round privacy and sun protection, but still want to allow air to flow through their outdoor space. This type of material provides the perfect amount of transparency, so you don’t have to compromise being able to look out at your view.
Clear PVC blinds are a popular choice because they allow you to take in the view while remaining protected from the sun, wind, and rain. PVC blinds are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a low-maintenance option for busy families.
Similar to clear blinds, tinted PVC Outdoor Blinds are best suited to those looking for that extra level of privacy UV protection to block out harmful rays and peace of mind when enjoying their outdoor living area.

Kenlow is dedicated to providing high-quality outdoor blinds that are tailored to the specific needs of Perth residents. Our blinds are hand made in Perth by our team of experienced manufacturers using durable materials designed to withstand the local climate, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
As a leading manufacturer of outdoor shade products in Perth for over 50 years, we understand how the wind, weather, UV rays, and climate can affect the longevity of your product. Installing outdoor blinds can be left to us, but taking steps to prolong the life of your patio blinds and shade products will not only save your money in the long run but will keep your outdoor living area looking its best.
One of the easiest ways to maintain your outdoor blinds is to ensure they’re washed a few times per year depending on your outdoor living area. The best way to wash them is with a high-quality sponge or chamois and water, focusing on areas where dust and dirt can accumulate. Focus on areas with moving mechanical parts or in the tracks of our café blinds where dirt can clog or damage mechanisms.
Avoid using or implementing any abrasive wipes when cleaning as this could scratch the surface of the blind.
Outdoor blinds that fold or roll in operation can be susceptible to creases if not operated correctly. Ensure you always operate your shade products with care and never force the mechanism when folding or unfolding.
Outdoor blinds will expand and contract when exposed to the sun and cold temperatures and can become stiff in cooler conditions. Always try to operate your blinds in the sun when they have been exposed to some heat allowing your outdoor shades and blinds to soften.

Outdoor blinds come in several styles depending on how you use your space. Kenlow offers Ziptrak® track-guided blinds, gear-operated drop blinds, rope & pulley blinds, and our own PatioShayd™ roofshade system. Each operates differently and suits different applications, from fully enclosing an alfresco area to simply shading a verandah. The right choice depends on your space, your exposure to weather, and how much control you want over airflow and visibility.
The material you choose determines how your blinds perform day to day. Mesh blinds filter sunlight and allow airflow while still providing privacy and UV protection, making them the most popular choice for Perth’s hot summers. Clear PVC creates a full barrier against wind, rain and cold while keeping your views open, which is ideal for winter entertaining. Tinted PVC offers similar weather protection with added glare reduction and privacy. Acrylic blinds provide superior blockout from the sun with 100% solution-dyed fabric for long-lasting colour, and are available in both water-repellent and waterproof options. Generally, mesh is better suited to managing heat, while PVC is better for full weather enclosure.
Perth’s strong UV, coastal sea breezes and winter rain all need to be considered. For most homes, a UV-resistant mesh blind will handle summer heat and glare effectively while keeping airflow. If you are in a wind-exposed or coastal suburb, a track-guided system like Ziptrak is worth considering as it locks the fabric into side channels for better wind resistance and a tighter seal. For spaces you want to use year-round regardless of weather, mesh provides the most versatile coverage, as it provides protection from both hot and cold conditions. PVC is best suited to cold, rainy conditions, however, it is not as effective for warm weather. Kenlow has been manufacturing outdoor blinds in Perth for over 50 years, so we tailor recommendations based on your specific orientation, exposure and how you use the space.
Wind performance comes down to the blind system, not just the fabric. Standard roller or drop blinds can billow or flap in strong gusts because the fabric is only held at the top and bottom. Track-guided systems like Ziptrak lock the blind into side channels along both edges, which eliminates flapping and keeps the blind stable in moderate to strong winds. For particularly exposed locations, ensuring your blind is installed with secure fixing points, appropriate brackets, and a weighted bottom rail also makes a significant difference. In very strong winds or extreme weather conditions it is important to fully retract your blinds and never leave in the halfway position as this is the most vulnerable position.
Ziptrak blinds use a patented track-guided system that seals the fabric into side channels, eliminating gaps and providing a tight barrier against wind, rain, dust and insects. They glide smoothly to any height without straps, zips or buckles, and a spring-balanced mechanism supports the weight so they are easy to operate with minimal effort. Standard outdoor blinds, such as gear-operated drop blinds or rope & pulley blinds, offer simpler manual control and tend to suit spaces where full enclosure is less critical. Ziptrak is the original side-retention blind system, Australian made and invented, and Kenlow is both an Authorised Fabricator and Premium Retailer.
Yes. Outdoor blind systems, like Ziptrak, can be fitted with motors for push-button or remote control operation. Kenlow uses premium Somfy motors and is listed as a Somfy Expert. Motorised blinds can also be integrated with smart home systems allowing automation and remote operation. Motorisation is especially practical for larger spans, hard-to-reach installations, or multiple blinds you want to operate together. The cost of adding motorisation depends on the number of blinds and the level of automation, so it is best discussed during your free measure and quote.
The cost of outdoor blinds varies depending on the size of the opening, the material you choose, the blind system (such as Ziptrak, gear-operated, or rope & pulley blinds), and whether you opt for manual or motorised operation. Custom sizing, colour matching, and site-specific installation requirements also factor in.

Regular cleaning helps your outdoor blinds look their best and last longer. Do not allow bird droppings, earth, sand or vegetable matter to remain in contact with the fabric. Do not use high pressure washers as this can damage the fabric and void warranty. For mesh and PVC blinds we recommend cold water with Swiftee outdoor blinds cleaner. Be sure to use a soft cloth for PVC blinds to avoid scratches. For acrylic and canvas blinds use mild soap with water. For all blinds avoid detergents, cleaning fluids, insecticides, petrol, oil, solvents, kerosene or similar fluids. Always allow your blinds to dry fully before rolling or retracting them.
