Outdoor Blinds & Awnings in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie
Make the patio, alfresco or balcony a space you use in every season, with outdoor blinds and awnings made to measure for your home.
What are outdoor blinds & awnings?
Outdoor blinds and awnings are custom fabric screens and shades that block sun, wind, rain and glare on patios, alfrescos, decks and windows. They suit Newcastle and Lake Macquarie homes that cop western sun or afternoon southerlies. CBI Blinds measures and installs zip screens and awnings, starting with a free in-home measure and a fixed written quote.
Newcastle and Lake Macquarie homes cop strong western sun, afternoon southerlies and the odd summer storm. The right outdoor blind blocks heat and glare, keeps wind and rain out and adds privacy, while still letting you enjoy the view.
Kyle visits your home with fabric samples, looks at how your outdoor area faces the weather and recommends the option that suits how you use the space. Every blind and awning is custom made and installed by Kyle, with a fixed written quote on the day.

“We are over the moon with our new remote controlled ZipScreen blinds, after doing a complete renovation of our rear deck space we knew that the old outdoor blinds would not cut it. Suzy and Kyle were wonderful to deal with and the final results look awesome. We are looking forward to year round entertaining.”

Outdoor Blinds questions, answered
What type of awning is best for outdoor areas?
Straight drop awnings and zip screens are ideal for patios, pergolas and alfresco areas, offering shade, weather protection and privacy. The best option depends on exposure, wind and how you use the space, and Kyle will recommend one at your free measure.
Do awnings help reduce heat inside the home?
Yes. Awnings block direct sunlight before it reaches the glass, which helps keep rooms cooler and improves comfort and energy efficiency.
Can outdoor blinds and awnings be motorised?
Yes. Motorised options are available for automatic awnings and zip screens, and several screens can be grouped to move together.
Are awnings suitable for coastal conditions?
We supply awnings designed for Australian conditions, including coastal homes. Fabric and hardware choice and correct installation are key, and we will advise on the best options for your location.
Do you install awnings for commercial properties?
Yes, we supply and install awnings for homes and commercial properties across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and surrounding areas.
