If we have learned anything from architecture in Sydney, it’s that builders and architects are constantly on the lookout for new components that offer both high performance and design flexibility.
Modern buildings have no other option but to contribute to energy efficiency, occupant comfort and the building’s overall aesthetic while sticking to compliance regulations. Outdoor aluminium shutters have become a go-to specification because they operate as a multi-functional, dynamic system.
At Outdoor Blinds and Awnings, we supply high-grade shutter systems designed to meet the technical and design demands of today’s commercial and multi-residential projects.
Performance and Comfort
When facades are correctly integrated in your design, they should add texture, depth and responsiveness to a building’s exterior, turning its skin from a passive barrier into an active, intelligent system. By moving away from more traditional screening, operable shutters allow the facade to adapt to climate changes throughout the day, supporting key design goals.
- Creates a kinetic facade that controls views, modulates daylight and manages privacy.
- Supports biophilic design principles by maintaining a connection to the outdoors while mitigating glare and heat.
- Manages solar heat gain before it reaches glazing, directly impacting building performance.
- Reduces mechanical cooling loads, contributing positively to energy ratings and aligning with Green Star principles.
Sustainable and Dependable
Engineered for a long lifecycle, our shutter systems are constructed from high-grade, powder-coated aluminium. The material was deliberately selected for its durability and a minimal total cost of ownership for asset owners and developers. The benefits contribute directly to a project’s long-term sustainability and value.
- Offers high resistance to corrosion, moisture and UV degradation, even in Sydney’s demanding coastal environments.
- Focusses on occupant wellbeing by controlling glare and allowing for natural airflow, boosting productivity in commercial spaces.
- Acts as an effective acoustic insulator, dampening urban noise for a quieter interior.
- Adds a layer of security to ground-floor applications or balconies.
- Contributes to the circular economy as a highly recyclable material with low embodied energy over its lifecycle.
- Provides versatile application options, including the enclosure of balconies into “winter gardens,” the aesthetic screening of mechanical plants, and the creation of operable privacy walls.
