Awnings a top choice for Geelong homes this summer

Newly installed canvas awnings at a Geelong home

Having exterior awnings on your Geelong home’s windows for the hot summer months is a great way to keep cool indoors and reduce energy costs. Awnings can also provide UV protection for your furniture, carpets and window treatments, prolonging their lifespan. And, with the colours and styles on offer today, they can also add a beautiful accent to the outside of your home.

It’s such a cost-effective home improvement that delivers dividends in so many ways. Apart from the instant lift to your home’s kerb appeal, one of the biggest selling points for awnings is their ability to lower the temperature of your home’s interior by blocking direct sunlight from entering your home.

Research shows that installing quality awnings can reduce by 80 per cent the amount of solar thermal energy and radiation reaching the interior of your home. They can also lower glare without compromising visibility.

Expert assistance

So, with the temperatures set to climb once summer hits, what are you waiting for? With the addition proper window coverings and protection, homeowners can reap rewards including a cooler, more comfortable home. And that means it’s time to talk to Blinds With An Edge’s experienced team for expert assistance.

We love helping people improve the way their homes look and function by adding great window solutions. We know that awnings and outdoor blinds add shade and coolness with a hefty dose of style and practicality part of the mix. Your house can go from ‘okay’ to ‘okay, that looks pretty fantastic’ and it can be a quick transformation.

Satisfied Customers – Thank you Blinds With An Edge, great job!We contacted Sue Kos at ‘Blinds With An Edge’ – Moolap a few months ago, and purchased the Australian made White PVC Plantation shutters for our home on the Bellarine Peninsula. Our experience was just brilliant from the start to the finish. We found Blinds With An Edge very professional, from their initial call out and measure, their quick follow up, providing us with several great quotes covering their different Plantation shutter options, their smooth ordering process and our final measure visit. It was just hassle free, their reps who visited our home on both occasions were terrific, explained the different options and covered everything in the process. Our shutters were made locally, ready within 5 weeks. We had them installed recently, the team arrived on time, and were super professional, quick to install all the shutters, and before they left, the team cleaned up.Our shutters look amazing, my wife couldn’t be happier, she just loves them!The plantation shutters are surprisingly versatile, see our photos, they add so much extra light to our home through the day, while providing privacy at the same time. It takes the look of our home to another level, so definitely worth the investment. The shutters are also great for blocking out the heat during the day when needed, so they should be handy for the hot summer days coming up.So, thank you Sue and your team for your great work with organising our Plantation Shutters, we couldn’t be happier with our purchase, we just love them, we’re certainly one of your satisfied customers.Thank youMichael & Suzie

Our experience with Blinds With An Edge was exceptional from start to finish. We were kept informed at every stage of the process, from booking the quote right through to installation. They are highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this local Geelong business.

We are extremely happy with our new sheers, blockout curtains and roller blinds. Sue and her team were very professional, their pricing was very competitive and the final result is amazing.The installers were so friendly and after we had a really substandard experience with another trade this week which was really upsetting, it was so nice to have tradies at our place who were so lovely and doing a great job.I had left a note for them to remove their shoes after our floorboards had just been sanded and polished, your boys didn't know I was coming home and they were so respectful of our request and had their shoes off at the door, I am so appreciative.After we got a few quotes for curtains, I am so happy we went with Blinds with an Edge. Sometimes the price isn't the only thing that wins a client.. it is also being punctual, knowledgeable and providing the best service.Thanks again !!

When deciding on new curtains, we choose a few local businesses for quotes. Sue and her colleague trumped all others by far. Not only were their prices extremely competitive, but the advise given, was exceptional and recommended a style we never considered and we are so glad we went along with it. We absolutely love the curtains and always get compliments from family and friends.Thanks so much guys and I’m more than happy to highly recommend you to anyone who reads this.

If you haven't seen the mobile showroom at Blinds With An Edge and you're in the market for blinds, you've got to have a look at this machine. It's quite amazing how Sue has set up the display. There are samples galore, from sheer blinds to roller blinds and shutters and even the awning on the outside is all part of the display. It's so much easier than travelling to a showroom in your own car. Sue turns up and does it all at your own house. It's really worth a look and the service is sensational!!!
