Woven Mesh
Woven mesh has style and functionality that you just can’t beat. This revolutionary awning fabric lets light in, yet keeps out the sun. Unlike conventional outdoor blind fabrics, woven mesh’s unique design allows you to see through from the inside and enjoy the view, whilst filtering out the sun’s damaging rays and keeping the interior cool.
Benefits: 90% blockout of the sun’s heat without filtering out the light.
Acrylic
Acrylic is a light weight fabric which allows sunlight to penetrate through, without enabling you to see through the fabric. Unlike canvas, acrylic does not have a green backing, the back of the fabric is as you would see on the front. Acrylic, is a popular light weight fabric for awnings, especially folding arm awnings.
Benefits: 90% blockout of the sun’s heat.
Canvas
Canvas has traditionally been the most popular fabric used
for awnings. With 100% block out and long lasting reputation, canvas is the
number one choice to block out the sun. Bartlett Blinds use quality Australian
made canvas. Our canvas blinds range has a vast array of colours and designs to
choose from.
Benefits: 100% block out, long lasting, Australian made, vast array of colours and designs to choose from.

We offer a variety of blind fabrics with varying levels of UV protection. While fabrics blocking 100% of UV rays offer the most protection, they may also limit outward visibility. Consider your priorities - prioritise maximum sun protection for a shady retreat, or opt for a fabric with a balance of UV protection and visibility for a more open feel.

Breathable fabrics like mesh allow air to flow through and also provide sun and UV protection, keeping you cool on a hot day, while PVC offers a more sheltered experience. Choose the option that best suits your comfort and desired outdoor environment.

Highly water-resistant options provide up to 100% blockage from rain, perfect for creating a dry and sheltered space. However, these fabrics may also limit airflow. Consider your priorities: prioritise complete rain protection for year-round enjoyment, or opt for a more breathable fabric if airflow is a major concern.
Clear & Tinted PVC Blinds
Clear and tinted PVC outdoor blinds are highly durable, easy to clean and resistant to mould. Best of all, they are easy to see through!
Benefits: Easy to maintain, uninterrupted views
