Summer can be an exciting time for families. Marked by warm weather and the school holidays, there is a lot of fun to be had in and around the home. But, as most of us know, NZ’s particularly persistent sun can threaten to derail family activities. Fortunately, with Luxaflex®, it’s easily managed.
With a range of proven child-safe blinds, shutters and awnings, you can take the worry out of sun protection while helping keep your family cool and comfortable. With summer just around the corner, there is no better time than now to start planning. We’ve explored some of our favourites below
PolySatin® Shutters are a highly effective way of controlling daylight in your home. With a cellular construction and low conductivity, PolySatin Shutters trap air, creating a layer of insulation that greatly reduces heat exchange at your window and doors, helping to keep your home cool in summer.
PolySatin Shutters are also incredibly family-friendly. Low VOC, water-resistant, durable and easy to clean, staining agents don’t hold to the smooth polyresin surface of PolySatin Shutters. Should the need arise, you can even remove the shutters and clean them outside. Backed by a 20-year warranty, they make for a worry-free investment that will continue to look good as your family grows.

Roller Blinds remain a popular favourite for children’s bedrooms. Featuring an extensive range of sunscreen, light-filtering and blockout fabrics, our Roller Blind collection provides much-needed UV protection and a reflective thermal barrier under our harsh summer sun.
Roller Blinds give you the freedom to achieve the desired level of light control that best suits you and your families needs. Roller Blinds are particularly useful when you want your little ones to sleep in longer than the early morning summer sun would typically allow.
With the ability to fully automate your Roller Blinds, they also offer peace of mind, forgoing chains to avoid the potential of any accidental mishaps. With stain-resistant and low VOC fabrics, Luxaflex Roller Blinds go a long way for a clean and healthy environment in your home.
