Ekle Blinds for an Outdoor Home Dining Area

This project was completed for a homeowner who had a beautiful outdoor dining area attached to the back of their home. The space had a solid roof overhead but was completely open on three sides, making it a wonderful place to have meals with family and friends during good weather. However, the homeowner was finding that the space could only really be used in the early morning or late evening because the afternoon sun coming in from the sides made it far too hot for comfortable dining. There was also a dust problem — the open sides meant that dust from the road nearby would settle on the dining table and chairs throughout the day. The homeowner wanted to keep the open, natural feel of the dining area but needed some protection from the sun, dust and occasional light rain. After doing some research online, they found BambooBlinds.lk and contacted us for a site visit.

Our team visited the home and spent time at the outdoor dining area to fully understand the problem. We recommended ekle blinds for the three open sides of the dining area. Ekle blinds, made from natural areca palm, are an excellent choice for outdoor dining spaces because they are slightly denser than regular bamboo blinds and provide better protection from sun, dust and light rain. They also allow a comfortable amount of natural breeze to pass through, which is very important for an outdoor dining area where you want to feel the fresh air while being sheltered from the harsh elements. The natural texture and warm colour of ekle material looks stunning in outdoor settings and gives any dining space a beautiful, rustic tropical feel that makes meals feel special. We took measurements of all three sides and prepared custom made ekle blinds to the exact sizes.

The installation was completed in one day and the homeowner was delighted with the result from the moment the last blind was fitted. The outdoor dining area was immediately transformed into a comfortable, shaded and private space that could be used at any time of day. The homeowner tested the blinds that same evening by hosting a family dinner outdoors — something they had not been able to do during the afternoon in a very long time. The family sat comfortably through the entire meal without any discomfort from heat or dust. The homeowner told us it felt like they had gained a whole new room in their home. Friends who attended the dinner were so impressed that three of them contacted us the following week for their own blind installations. The homeowner has since become one of our most enthusiastic references and regularly recommends BambooBlinds.lk to anyone looking for outdoor blind solutions.
