Drop blinds are a quick, effective way to open up or enclose areas to the weather, such as patios and outdoor seating for coffee shops and restaurants. Drop blinds provide excellent protection from wind, sun and rain, and act as effective insulation in the cooler months, retaining warmth within.

Shades Ahead offers a wide range of drop blinds options to suit customers’ preferences, from a colourful range of acrylic, polyester or polypropylene fabrics, to whether or not to have clear PVC windows fitted. Raising / lowering mechanisms are available as either a simple rope and pulley system, or a discreet gearbox and crank handle system. Orders are custom made to suit the required area perfectly.
