If you need top-notch outdoor blinds, consider Ziptrak blinds available in mesh and PVC materials. Choosing between mesh and PVC can be tricky because both are durable and enhance the look of your outdoor area.
What sets these two types of blinds apart? Which one is best for your outdoor space? This guide has all the answers you need.
Comparing PVC and Mesh Outdoor Blind Installation Types
Although PVC and mesh Ziptrak blinds are made from different materials, they require the same kind of installation. To ensure a seamless look and protect your blinds from the weather, both PVC and mesh installations require appropriate pelmets and brackets. You can choose these in specific colors that match your installation.
Whether you opt for PVC or mesh blinds, each blind is customized to meet your specific requirements. Both materials are available in different densities, colors, and specifications. At Nextgen Living, our team can measure, cut, and install your outdoor blinds according to your specifications. Thanks to our in-house manufacturing capabilities, we can provide a tailored solution for you.
Advantages of Mesh and PVC Outdoor Blinds
PVC blinds, like cafe blinds, are made of a clear PVC sheet that shields you from wind, rain, and insects. They don’t obstruct your view, so you can still enjoy your garden without being bothered by the weather or bugs.
In contrast, mesh blinds function similarly to PVC blinds but allow more airflow. They block wind and up to 99% of rain. Mesh outdoor Ziptrak blinds are crafted from different woven materials with varying densities. Your choice will affect UV protection and transparency levels.
Key Features of PVC and Mesh Blinds
Mesh outdoor blinds help lower heat and can potentially reduce the need for cooling. They also offer privacy during the day, limiting the view of what’s behind the blinds.
PVC blinds are fully rain and windproof, making them great for keeping warmth inside an enclosed area. If you want privacy from the outside, you can choose tinted PVC outdoor blinds.
Taking care of PVC and Mesh Outdoor Blinds
If you prefer low-maintenance outdoor blinds, go for mesh. Mesh blinds only show dirt and dust after a long time without cleaning. To keep them clean, gently scrub with soapy water using a soft-bristled brush, then rinse with water. Avoid using harsh detergents as they can damage the materials. You can use dishwashing liquid or a specific Ziptrak Blind cleaner like Swiftee.
Cleaning and maintaining PVC blinds require more effort compared to mesh blinds. Hose them down, and brush gently with soapy water using a soft brush or Swiftee Cleaner. After cleaning, let the blinds dry while they are down. Once dry, you can apply VuPlex anti-static spray. This spray helps prevent dirt buildup and makes the blind operation smoother by reducing static, so the PVC won’t stick to itself on the roll.
