Three Things to Consider When Choosing Outdoor Curtains

Outdoor curtains add a touch of elegance to your outdoor space. They have, of late, become integral to home/outdoor décor and immensely contribute to the curb appeal of your house. Primarily designed to provide privacy, these outdoor curtains are also used to limit the sunlight in patio, pergola, porch and pool areas, thus enabling you to experience the ultimate outdoor comfort. You can also find tailored solutions being offered by reputed curtain brands to suit your space best. Florida Lanai Curtains is one such brand.

Outdoor curtains are available in varied colors, fabrics, shapes and sizes. The choice depends upon your taste, preference, budget and outdoor space requirement. This article gives you tips for choosing outdoor curtains.

When choosing outdoor curtains, kindly keep in mind the following factors:

Sunlight

Do you get a lot of sunlight? Are you unable to enjoy outdoors due to the scorching heat? Well, then you must choose curtains that can block both heat and sunlight. Choose a light or neutral colored fabric; it offers elegance but does not absorb the heat from the sun and still allows for some light. However, if shade is your goal and you want to darken up your outdoor space, you’ll want to choose a darker fabric which will block out the most light.

Carefully choose and install outdoor curtains; you should still be able to enjoy the outdoor feel while blocking sunlight and neighbor views.

Some curtain materials tend to fade or lose their charm as days roll if the sunlight is very intense. Colors such as cream, beige and white are the best choice for such places. However, our Sunbrella Marine Canvas curtains resist fading and allow you to choose more colors to match or contrast with the colors in your garden or patio to beautify the space.

Exactly determine your requirements

Why are you looking to install outdoor curtains? Do you receive a lot of sunlight or hate your neighbors’ conversations? Do you want an appealing outdoor area?

Determining your need will enable you to choose the right type of outdoor curtains. If privacy is the main reason, choose a heavier material over sheer. However, if you want to block the sun, well, you can find a range of options. Light colored curtains can block the heat yet allow some light into the space which is really good. Covering the entire area is not at all a good idea since the very feel of the space gets hampered.

If décor and style is what you want, search for the fabric and colors that align with your attitude and lifestyle. Mix and match them to create the perfect match or a striking contrast. Beautifying a space depends upon your creativity and imagination; there are no boundaries or limits to it.

Examine your space where you are looking to install outdoor curtains and determine what you need before jumping into any decision.

Durability, craftsmanship and price

The curtains you choose must be made from quality material that assures durability. You certainly do not want to spend money time and again on curtains! The outdoor curtains should provide privacy to you and your family for a long term. Check the fabric and stitch quality to be ensured of durability.

Pay attention to the craftsmanship. Look for curtains that can truly transform the look of and add value to your outdoor space.

While nobody else makes or sells  our patented Privacy On Demand curtain systems, you may find vendors that sell outdoor curtains all over the place but be careful. Take some time out, research the material quality and check for the prices. Compare their installation charges and get every detail possible before you place an order. It is a wise idea to go with a vendor that promises no hidden charges. Bear in mind that, as with all products, you get what you pay for and although the price may be higher, buying high quality curtains right off the bat will lower your long-term costs and prevent repeat purchase of sub-standard curtains.

Whether you want to cover your patio to enjoy great weekends with your family and guests or private pool area where you can unwind in the relaxing waters without your neighbors’ curious gazes, outdoor curtains can help.

Now you know things to consider while choosing outdoor curtains, what are you still waiting for? Make up your mind and gear up to enhance the charm of your property.
