With the amount of heat and sun hitting your home almost year round, having an awning if you live in Brisbane is crucial. Quality awnings and outdoor blinds will help protect your home and family from the highly changeable weather in Brisbane.

Awnings and outdoor blinds are the perfect addition to a Brisbane home, as they provide the protection needed from the harsh rays of the sun, so that you can sit outside and enjoy your outdoor entertaining area in comfort. Entertaining and spending time outdoors is a big part of the relaxed Brisbane culture. To help you make the most of the Queensland climate, you can choose an awning system with the added feature of light controls, so you can keep entertaining into the evening.

Bringing together the beach and sun, as well as providing a pretty cool music scene Brisbane has a lot to offer. The locals already know this and those who visit are quick to get in on the secret. Brisbane has become very well known for its music and theatre scene, offering a wide variety of events and shows.

Sport is also another big part of Brisbane’s culture that the locals get very passionate about. During the various sports season, coming together to watch the game and have a barbeque is a popular pastime for many locals, so you want to make sure you have the perfect outdoor room ready for those long sunny days.

Awning to suit the Brisbane climate

With its signature warm weather Brisbane is a city where an awning is a necessity if you ever want to sit outside without getting blasted by the sun. With hot, humid summers and fairly dry warm winters you’re going to need a cool shaded area if you want to make it through the day. While you’ll still get rain in Brisbane you’re much more likely to experience a hot day so you’ll need an awning more suited to keeping you protected from the sun than anything else. Brisbane is known to have winter days still reaching the 30s so the likelihood that you’ll still be having barbeques or outdoor entertaining is still high. It is not as likely to ever get cold enough for you to need in-built heaters in your awning so that might not be a top priority for you when choosing the style you want.

One of the main benefits with installing an awning or outdoor blinds to your home is that it can help you with environmental savings. It will help to cool down your home, which means you won’t have to rely so heavily on air-conditioning to survive the heat and can potentially help reduce your power usage during summer.

Different awnings styles available

Different types of awnings cater to different purposes, whether for patios and balconies, windows and skylights, or pergolas. Awnings come in a variety of styles and are designed to provide shade outdoors while protecting indoor spaces from the sun. Choose an awning that will be a stylish feature of your home and create an outdoor space that you are proud to invite your friends and family over to, will only add value to your home.

Exterior blinds for your Brisbane home

Exterior blinds for your Brisbane home

If you don’t have the need for an awning or maybe you just don’t have the space for one, then what you’ll want instead are exterior window blinds to give your home added protection and shading. External blinds are perfect for helping to keep you home cool as the temperatures rise, as they nearly always do in Brisbane.

Brisbane locals spend a lot of money on air conditioning when it heats up, so outdoor shade blinds are worth considering if it can help with the cooling of your home, particularly if awnings are not an option.

If you live somewhere that’s facing the water, maybe on the beachfront, you probably have to deal with the glare that bounces off the water and your typical blinds and curtains may not be enough to cut it. External blinds provide the best answer to this problem as they are more high performing.

Whether it’s exterior blinds or outdoor awnings you’re after, there is something to suit every Brisbane home and markilux are here to help and make sure you find the perfect shading option for your home.
