Outdoor Blinds for Issy Bar at Bruny Island

We have just installed some outdoor blinds at Issy’s Bar Bruny Island. The Izzy Bar is a chilled out expression of how the locals live, grow, harvest, ferment, pickle, eat and drink on Bruny Island. Resident artisan bakers cook with fire in the woodfired oven, creating wild ferment sourdough pizzas, flatbreads and marinated delights. The onsite orchard and herb gardens guide the menu, and neighbours deliver produce by bicycle – goat curd, gin and apple schnapps. The Izzy Bar overlooks Isthmus Bay, The Neck, and is a little hidden gem. The blinds are both a Ziptrack system and lock down patio outdoor blind. The mesh fabric will provide some privacy to guest on the inside while not reducing views from outside.

Large Width Honeycomb Blinds to 5m

We are now able to offer honeycomb blinds or cellular shades to maximum width of 5 metres wide. These can be motorised or chain drive ideally the motorised version is an easier lift given the total weight of the fabric. Shown here is a motorised honeycomb blind to 5m wide with a day night blind. This large format width of 5m will enable a single honeycomb blind to be installed on large format windows. So if you are looking for wide width blinds then call to discuss your requirements

Large width blinds offer several advantages:

Maximized Coverage: Larger blinds can cover expansive windows or glass doors more effectively, providing better privacy and light control.
Fewer Gaps: With fewer blinds or panels needed to cover a wide window, there are fewer gaps for light to seep through, resulting in better light blockage when fully closed.
Streamlined Aesthetics: Large blinds can create a cleaner, more streamlined look compared to multiple smaller blinds on the same window.
Reduced Maintenance: Fewer individual blinds mean less maintenance and cleaning, simplifying upkeep.
Enhanced Insulation: Honeycomb blinds, in particular, are known for their insulating properties. Larger blinds can help maintain indoor temperature more efficiently by reducing heat transfer through the window.
Ease of Operation: Instead of managing multiple blinds, you only need to adjust one or two large blinds for light and privacy control, making operation simpler.
Customization: Large width blinds can often be customized to fit specific window dimensions, allowing for tailored solutions to suit your needs.
Visual Impact: Large blinds can make a significant visual impact in a room, adding drama and style to the space.

Honeycomb Blinds Largest Range of Fabrics in Tasmania

Honeycomb fabrics are effective at keeping heat due to their unique structure, which is designed to enhance insulation. Here’s why they work so well:

Air Trapping: The honeycomb structure creates numerous small pockets of air. Air is a poor conductor of heat, so these pockets trap warm air close to your body, reducing the amount of heat that escapes.
Reduced Heat Transfer: The honeycomb pattern minimizes the direct contact between the outer surface and the inner layers. This helps to reduce the heat transfer between different layers of the fabric.
Thermal Insulation: The pattern helps in evenly distributing heat and prevents cold spots. This consistent insulation keeps the overall temperature more stable.
Lightweight: Despite its insulating properties, honeycomb fabrics can be lightweight, which makes them comfortable and easy to wear without adding bulk.

Overall, the honeycomb design is highly effective for thermal insulation while remaining lightweight and breathable. For a full range of Honeycomb blinds for your bed and breakfast call taylor and stirling
