Already renowned for its quality indoor window furnishings, Dollar Curtains and Blinds is fast establishing a reputation as the go-to place for outdoor shutters, awnings and blinds.

Dollar Curtains’ expansion into the outdoor arena is fast paying off for the firm.

Used to create additional outdoor living areas and to provide protection from the elements, Dollar Curtains consultants will tell you external window furnishings are a must for every home. They’re very durable and they save you money in terms of gas and electricity bills.

The firm supplies manual awnings, automatic awnings, external shutters, spring roller blinds, zip track, channel x and bistro blinds – all of which work by creating an air pocket between the outside elements and the window’s glass pane. The laws of heat transfer then ensure that the pocket provides a buffer between the weather outside and the desired temperature inside, reducing the need for costly heating and air-conditioning.

External blinds and awnings also offer the best protection of any window coverings from solar heat gain in the summertime.
