COOL YOUR HOME NATURALLY WITH CRAWLEY BLINDS

COOL YOUR HOME NATURALLY

Did you know that when the sun hits your glass windows and doors the heat magnifies up to double the outside temperature directly in front of the glass which then radiates into the house making your house hot. Putting something inside the house on the window or door will help stop the sun but will not stop the heat. Installing Awnings or Screens from Crawley Blinds & Awnings to the outside of the window or door to stop the sun from hitting the glass will stop the heat coming through the glass and into your home, which in turn will naturally and efficiently help to cool your home and keep our planet green.

DARK OR LIGHT COLOUR CHOICES FOR METAL AWNINGS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

DARK OR LIGHT COLOURS

Contrary to the rumour mill no metal is hotter or cooler than the other, this has been professionally tested and proven. All metal awnings will give the same amount of protection against the hot summer sun. But Crawley Blinds Original TROPICOOL Colorbond Awnings have been tested in a laboratory, and proved to be the strongest of all the metal awnings on the market.

The choice of colour on the other hand can make a difference to heat distribution. Choose a light colour as the main colour of a metal awning this will always deflect heat away from the awning. If you choose a dark colour as the main colour of a metal awning this will draw the heat. This theory can be tested on a hot summers day by walking on the black section of a road which will burn your feet. Then walk on the white lines on the road and you can stand comfortably in one place. Our TROPICOOL Colorbond Awnings are manufactured with a white colour underneath the awning to promote coolness.

INSIDE BLINDS, WHAT STYLE BEST SUITS YOUR SITUATION

Are you looking for Inside Blinds for your home or premises but are just not sure what style would be best for your area. Here is a run down on some of the most popular styles of Internal Blinds to help you make your decision.

PLANTATION SHUTTERS

This style of Inside Blinds are available in Composite and Timber. Shutters are a versatile blind which can be used almost everywhere from holes in walls to windows and doors etc. They can be installed as Fixed In Place panels, Hinged Panels, Bifolding Panels and Sliding Panels to suit most areas. The blades can be opened and closed for privacy, light and sun control. The panels however will not flap and blow around in the breeze.

VENETIAN BLINDS

This style of inside Blind is available in Aluminium, and Composite. Venetians have the versatility of being able to open and close the blades to allow privacy, light and sun control. Venetians are held down at the bottom with hold downs to minimise movement with the breeze. Available in 25mm, 50mm and 63mm wide blades there is a size to suit all areas. These can be successfully used on windows. they can also be used over doors but are not a practical option.

VERTICAL DRAPES

This style of Inside Blind is available in a large range of fabrics from plain colours to textures and prints. Blockouts, translucents and sheers. With versatile blades that will rotate the b 180 degrees to allow for privacy, light and sun control. They can successfully be installed to both windows and doors.

FABRIC SECTIONAL (PANEL) GLIDES

This style of Inside Blind is available in a large range of fabrics from plain colours to textures and prints. Blockouts, translucents and sheers. They can be used on windows, doors and can even be used as room dividers. The width of the panels are determined by width of the opening, and how many panels are used to create the blind. Draw them across the opening for privacy, sun and light control. Or draw them back to the side of the opening when they are not required.

ROLLERBLINDS

This style of Inside blind can be used on windows and doors but we do not recommend them over doors as they are not a practical option. They are available in a large range of fabrics from plain colours to textures and prints, blockouts, translucents and sheers, and are operated by side chains, springs or motorised. They can be rolled down when privacy, light and sun control is required, and can be rolled up when they are not required. If you require a total blockout we have the Rollerblinds with side channels to accomplish this, the channels also stop the blinds from moving about in the breeze.

ROMAN BLINDS.

This style of Inside Blind can be used on windows and doors but we do not recommend them over doors as they are not a practical option. Available in a large range of fabrics from plain colours, textures and prints, blockouts, translucents, and sheers. Manufactured to fold up and down, when fully raised they will hang down around 350mm-400mm from the top of the blind creating the illusion of a valance. Operated with either cord or side chain operation.

Inside Blinds are much more than just a blind and the choice you make can add to or detract from the overall look of your home, but you also have to be practical with your choice of Inside Blinds. Looks aren’t everything the Inside Blinds you choose have to be the right solution for your problem to do the job properly.

CRAWLEY BLINDS & AWNINGS INTERNAL PLANTATION SHUTTERS

Internal Shutters are fast becoming a popular choice of window covering for our Townsville customers. Available in our high grade Composite Material. Manufactured with aluminium reinforcement bars through the middle of each blade, and aluminium reinforcement bars down the middle of the 2 side stiles. This is for strength and durability against our harsh climate. Our Composite Shutters are also great for wet and high moisture areas. We also have Internal Shutters available in our Painted and Stained Hardwood Timber with a lacquered finish.

Top and bottom are used for our Bi Folding Shutters to prevent the panels from dropping. The weight of the Shutter Panels cause the panels to drop over time. The use of tracks top and bottom stop this from happening. If tracks can not be used due to lack of room in the window sill area then we will hinge them. Extra support is also given to our Hinged and Bi Folding Shutters with the use of heavy duty hinges.

Crawley Blinds & Awnings Internal shutters are a stunning and versatile window covering which will add value to any home, so come into our office or give us a call to find out more.
