Australians have always been keen to enjoy life outdoors, even at home – and it’s outdoor channel blinds that have taken us from the time of simple patios to the era of ‘outdoor rooms’. No other design is sleeker or more streamlined, perfectly suited to enclosing outdoor areas, regulating weather and sunlight, and helping create an inviting space in which to relax. Now Haven outdoor channel blinds have stepped up how Australians can relax outdoors, and a big part of this next generation deign is the Central Bottom Lock that’s at the heart of it. So, how does a lock enhance relaxation in an outdoor room? Let’s take a look…
In traditional outdoor channel blinds, the lock’s ability to function like new seldom lasts long. That’s because of where the lock is situated in the blind. Previous generation designs saw the lock incorporated into the bottom bar of the blind, but with its mechanism open to the elements. For an outdoor product this spells trouble, and inevitably it’s not long before dirt, grit and corrosion begin to size up these lock types, meaning they no longer worked reliably and could be difficult to operate.
In contrast to these older designs, Haven is a next-generation design that has the lock incorporated wholly inside the sleek bottom bar of the blind. Because of this, the bottom bar has a far more streamlined appearance, and Haven’s Central Bottom Lock is safely tucked away from dust and debris. The result is a lock that doesn’t suffer from contamination, and so continues to function smoothly and effortlessly.
Relaxing in an outdoor room should be a low-effort affair, and Haven’s designers went to great lengths to ensure this when they created the Central Bottom Lock. Historically, outdoor channel blinds have incorporated a wide variety of lock types, but it’s safe to say that none have been as simple or effortless as the Haven lock. There’s no need to bend over to unlock it – a simple sideways nudge with your foot pops the Haven lock open, and the blind itself then pops up a short distance so that it can be rolled up. It’s hard to imagine an outdoor channel blind lock that could be easier to use.
Nobody understands Australian conditions quite like Australians – and that’s just where the Haven Central Bottom Lock was designed and tested. You can rest assured that Haven outdoor channel blinds are tough from top to bottom, with a lock that’s been tested through tens of thousands of cycles.
Unique, tough, durable and easy to use, the Central Bottom Lock on Haven outdoor channel blinds is patented – even more assurance that you are investing in a design with significant advantages built in.
