DOMINICA SOLAR EXTERNAL BLIND

Solar Powered UK Made Outdoor Roller Blind

The Dominica Solar blind offers all the same features as the Dominica Blind but utilises a solar powered motor, making it ideal for applications where mains power supply is problematic, such as verandas and gazebos along with high level windows. The slim side guides contain ziplock technology which secures the fabric in place at every position, ensureing the blind can withstand breezes and stopping any light shining between. The leadrail which closes completely within the full cassette headbox that conceals the blind when not in use, features an integrated weight that guarantees the fabric remains taut when lowered.

FAQS

  • How much does the Dominica Solar Blind cost?

    All our external blinds are bespoke, made to measure to your exact requirements and therefore the cost varies significantly depending on the specification (size, hardware colour, operation type…) and mounting detail.

    Our Dominica Solar Blind starts at £2,995 inc vat, installation & 5 year guarantee. To obtain a budget cost for your specific requirements is really simple using our estimate form, where you simply need to upload a photo of your application and some approximate measurements and then one of our estimators will be able to provide you with an accurate cost indication.

  • Yes. Our Dominica Blind features the same ziplock technology used on the side screens to our louvered roofs which locks the fabric in the side guides, rendering the blind windproof upto 31pmh, rated as a strong breeze, where large branches are in motion, umbrellas are difficult to use and whistling can be heard in telegraph wires, along with rubbish bins blowing over.

    Additionally, all our fabrics are treated with an exclusive TEXgard coating that repels both dirt and water. As the Antiguan Blind is a vertical screen, water cannot pool on the material and will simply run off the surface, with the added advantage thanks to the TEXgard coating that it will clean surface dirt from the material ensuring the material keeps a clean visual appearance.

  • If you select our most popular and exclusive Twilight Comfort ‘dimout’ fabric, which is a micro-perforated fabric, during the day the view from inside to out will be maintained but passers by / onlookers cannot see in. At night, whilst the view is not reversed, if the light level is significantly greater inside than out and someone is within close proximity of the blind outside, there may be a blurred view from outside to in.

    The perforations in our materials are uniformed over the surface area and do not allow water through from rain showers, due to their microscopic size and will if using the blind as a windbreak prevent gusts of wind as the perforations will diffuse wind along with light.

    If no view through the material is required, for example on bedrooms, then opt for our blockout fabric, which is a tightly woven fabric, without perforations.

External Blind Reviews

You exceeded our expectations!

We are delighted with the external blind. Your team was efficient, friendly and courteous. The blind looks great and has, already, made a huge difference to how we use our south-facing lounge. After a somewhat hesitant start, we have arrived at a really satisfactory outcome. Thank you very much. You exceeded our expectations!

Phil - Worcester

Very efficient and tidy

The install team were lovely again, very efficient and tidy. Thank you and the team so much….one very happy customer ready for the sunny and hot day.

The service was excellent

We are really happy with the blind and the service was excellent from quote to fitting. I would definitely recommend you.

Holmes - Twickenham

Very impressive

Initial reaction is that the process and product have both been excellent. The fitters were very good, as were you… so far very impressive, and I would be happy to recommend you.

Wilkinson - East Molesey

An absolute pleasure

I just wanted to say that your service men were an absolute pleasure to deal with today! They are excellent ambassadors for Caribbean Blinds.

Reilly - Twickenham

The blind is incredible

I thought I would wait a little while to see how the blind was functioning before I contacted you again but I would just like to say the external roof blind has transformed the way we use our room. The space would have been virtually unusable over this summer but the heat reduction on using the blind is incredible. I am now thinking of other areas in the house that would benefit from external shading.

Robinson - Walton On Thames

The two fitters were fantastic

We are extremely pleased with both the blinds and the service. The two fitters were fantastic and we cannot wait for our awning now!

Taylor - Teddington

Really happy with the blind

Really happy with the blind, functions perfectly and the installers were great.

Rayner - St. Neots

Fantastic job

The team were very professional, did a great job and the product is lovely, really good quality. The best thing is that it looks like it has always been there, which helps fussy self-builders like us!

Fantastic job, thank you.
