OTTERSHAW PARK

The mansion

Hi guys!!

I'm sharing Ottershaw Park. This is the 18th building for my English Collection.

I decorated most of the house ground floor, for reference.

The interiors:

History of the house:��In 1784 Thomas Sewell died and ownership of Ottershaw Park passed to his son, Thomas Bailey Heath Sewell, Lieutenant Colonel in the Surrey Fencible Cavalry. He sold it in 1796 to Edmund Boehm who improved the interior of the house and enlarged the estate by buying tracts of wasteland and allotments.

In about 1805 Boehm built, to the design of the eminent architect James Wyatt, two Grecian-style lodges at the new entrance to the estate from where a coach road ran to the mansion. The same architect may also have designed for Boehm the Gothic Chapel which originally served as a kitchen, bake house, dairy and pantry but was demolished in 1962.

Ottershaw Park was bought in 1819 by Major General Sir George Wood, a Lieutenant General in the Bengal Army. At this time the estate was largely self-supporting with stables, smithy, brew house, bake house, laundry, dairy, slaughter houses, ice house and two farms.

Sir George died in 1824 and the estate passed to his son, also named George, who in 1841 sold the property to Richard Crawshay who built a new bailiff’s house, farm buildings and brew house.

On Crawshay’s death in 1859 the estate was bought by Sir Thomas Edward Colebrooke MP, who made a number of alterations to the mansion. He also gave the money and land for the building of Christchurch and the first village school.

The estate was later sold to Lawrence James Baker, a stockbroker and MP who sold it in 1910 to the millionaire, Friedrich Gustav Jonathan Eckstein. Eckstein demolished the old mansion and replaced it with the present building designed by Niven & Wigglesworth which is more magnificent and much larger.

During World War I Eckstein made the building available to the British Red Cross as an Auxiliary Home Hospital but soon after the war sold it to Miss Susan Dora Cecilia Schintz, the daughter of a Swiss nitrates millionaire. Miss Schintz lost most of her sizeable inheritance through gifts to charity and bad investments and finally had to sell the estate. Much of it was acquired by the Ottershaw Park Investment Company (OPIC) which planned to develop the rim of the estate for housing. In 1932 the mansion and central part of the park became Ottershaw College, a boarding school for boys which for a short time was very successful, but eventually became insolvent and finally closed at the outbreak of World War II.

During the war The Vacuum Oil Company leased the mansion as offices and laboratories. From 1940 much of the surrounding land was either ploughed for crops or grazed as part of the war effort and the woodland areas were used by the 19 Vehicle Reserve Depot (VRD) for storing vehicles.

The Vacuum Oil Company moved back to London at the end of 1947 and Surrey County Council established Ottershaw School which was opened in 1948. The school prospered until 1980 when it closed due to financial constraints.

In 1982 the developers DeltaHome converted the mansion and other buildings into the present residential estate.

The floorplan:

This house fits a 64x64  lot, but I think you can make it a 50x40 if you lose part of the garden and the conservatories on each side.

Piano nobile furnished, the rest is up to your liking.

Hope you like it.

November 3….yesterday was a TOTAL travel day! We got picked up from hotel at 6:00am 😩 for a 8:55am plane but the plane was over an hour late plus a 2 hour time change so we didn’t check into our hotel until about 4:30pm. We did a short walk around the area and then our guide “Milly” had arranged dinner for us at 6:00pm. We ate at a gastropub called Occidental, which was excellent! Today we did a 2.5hour drive around the city which included Ponsonby(very ritzy area), Auckland Harbor Bridge and Mt. Eden. We had to miss a few spots because they had the Auckland Marathon today and streets to the harbor were closed. Then we drove to the Auckland Museum where we had lunch, a tour and the Maori Culture Performance. It was fun. We caught the local bus and returned to the town center and visited an art gallery and a jewelry shop for local artisans. I didn’t buy anything.😩😩. Māori art is expensive!!! I think I’m tired and ready to come home. Communicated briefly with Simon, but he can’t meet up until the weekend and we’ll be gone by then. Tonight we are all going for Italian, then to bed because we have to be out of here at 7:30. Tomorrow we fly to Christchurch, hop on a bus and drive to Geraldine. Love and really miss you all! 😘🥰😘🥰

Month 1 Thoughts

Well, it has been over a month since I returned to New Zealand already... Yikes. Lots of thoughts, questions and confusions have entered my mind since then, and many tears have been cried. Since arriving back in New Zealand I’ve been to Nelson, Golden Bay, Christchurch and even Franz Josef. I’ve spent time visiting friends and family, staying in people’s homes living out of suitcases. I’ve become an Aunty, celebrated Christmas and New Years. I’ve reunited with friends and said goodbye to others also heading overseas. It’s been a crazy month!

As I arrived in Christchurch at the start of my second week back, I was bombarded with experiences and feelings I hadn’t had in awhile. The first thing that struck me was fashion. Now, I’m definitely not a fashion icon, nor is it something I think about often. I dress for comfort and affordability. But for the first time in over four months, I got comments from people about my clothes, positive and negative. After wearing the same three dresses on repeat for months, I suddenly had more options and was entering a very different climate. Some people would compliment my outfit choices, then others would call my style “cringey” and roll their eyes at me. Like I said, I’ve never been nor do I want to be, someone who cares about fashion, but suddenly I was worried about what other people thought of what I was wearing. It seemed odd to me that anyone would care what I wore, but the fact that I cared what they thought took me by surprise.

I guess it’s less about fashion and more about comparison. In The Gambia, I had everything I needed, while many people I was working with had very little. In comparison, I was well off and felt bad that I had so much privilege when they didn’t. Whereas back here, I’m just a normal person, and there are so many people “above” me, as in they are more fashionable, can buy food out often, live in nicer houses...etc. This whole comparison concept hadn’t entered my mind much for the past few months, then within days of being back in our consumeristic culture, it was hard to escape from. Even though I don’t want to compare myself with anyone else, it ends up happening anyway. Sometimes I come out on “top” and in other categories I’m further “down”. It probably didn’t help that I arrived at peak consumerism time: Christmas.

My first few days in Christchurch were spent with my sister and her partner, who live only a few minutes walk away from where I had lived a few years ago. It was interesting to be wandering around such familiar surroundings, yet being such a different person now and in a totally different life stage. My first time doing a grocery shop back in New Zealand ended up being at my old local supermarket. While at the supermarket, I was overwhelmed with the choice in items, with multiple brands offering the same thing. I’d forgotten what I usually buy or how I shop. And I was so shocked at the prices! I’d heard the cost of living had gone up since I’d been away, but I wasn’t prepared to see basics like eggs and cheese cost so much. People were rushing around, putting expensive items into their trolleys so easily, going about their days... In The Gambia, if you could afford to even shop at the supermarket, you were wealthy. It wasn’t expensive by our standards, but to locals it was so out of reach, instead surviving day to day on what little resources they had. At one point I felt so overwhelmed with everything going on around me and inside of my mind, that I nearly had to leave the store and go have a cry.

There have been lots of moments like that, where I feel overwhelmed and confused, stuck between two worlds. Life in New Zealand is paradise, with our beautiful houses and clothes, our delicious food and our stunning scenery. We live for the weekends and summer holidays, where we can go to the beach or a music festival with friends and family. We have hobbies and disposable income. Life is still hard and there are many hidden challenges that everyone faces, but for most of us, our day-to-day needs are taken care of. Yet I know that just a few plane rides away, all across the world, there are people suffering. People starving to death, people being forced into the sex trade, people fleeing their home countries... The list is honestly endless. But our life feels like a bubble, an unreal life, a dream life. 

We are aware of suffering around the world, but yet we do nothing about it. We might sponsor a child or donate to charity if we have extra money, but our lives continue on as per usual. We don’t often have that real connection with those that are suffering. It’s not our sister having female genital mutilation, it’s not our brother being forced to become a child soldier, it’s not our parents dying of starvation, it’s not our friends swimming across the ocean trying to flee their country, it’s not us being tortured for our faith... So we do our little bit to help, we sacrifice the cost of a coffee a week to help put a child through school, and on we go with our lives. I’m not saying that’s not helpful, because it certainly does change lives, I’m not denying that. But is it enough? While we live in paradise, hundreds of millions of others live in pain and suffering beyond what we could imagine or handle, yet it’s in the too hard basket so we leave it for someone else. 

I don’t want to leave it for someone else. I don’t want to block out the faces I’ve met, the stories I’ve heard. They exist, they are human just like us. If I was in their situations, I’d be praying that someone would sacrifice from their plenty and help me out. 

I love worship. I love music. I love singing with a room of passionate people, eagerly seeking to know Jesus more intimately. But what I’m learning is that true worship is in our doing. True worship involves sacrifice. To sacrifice our wants, needs and desires, for the sake of His glory and His Kingdom. To help the lowly, to love the unloveable, the outcasts and the forgotten. To care for the orphans, the widows, the prisoners. I love worship. I love music. I love singing with a room of passionate people, eagerly seeking to know Jesus more intimately. But what I’m learning is that those times of “worship” are great for renewing my strength to actually go out and do something. Of course there will be seasons of sitting with Jesus, of being held by Him and simply being His child, in His presence. But generally when it comes to “worship”, God is more pleased when it actually involves sacrifice of some level on my end.

I think that so many of us want to be used by God, but we aren’t actually prepared to follow through with much of what He may ask us to do. Because it’s scary, unknown, dangerous and always involves sacrifice. I don’t know what God will ask me to do in the coming days, months and years. I hope that I will be willing to follow Him wherever it leads, but realistically I am not there yet. Over the past few years, I’ve done a lot of hard things. Much of the time this has been a case of feeling the fear and doing it anyway. I know that as I obey Him in the small things, He will ask more of me in the big things. I didn’t just wake up one day and hear God say, “Go to The Gambia,” and I just said, “Sure thing!” There were lots of small yes’s, and lots of small no’s along the way which led up to that call.

I’m not done with mission work, that’s for sure. As I started unpacking my suitcases and boxes into my room, I had this feeling like I didn’t want to unpack and settle back in. That I wasn’t ready for it. That my task wasn’t completed, that maybe it was just beginning. I don’t like how long it took me to say yes to God’s call to go to The Gambia. I wish I could’ve trusted Him enough to say yes easier. The more I settle into life back home, the harder it is to leave, obviously. The more money and things I have, ironically the harder it is to be generous and give. I don’t want to love the world and my desires more than God’s Kingdom and His desires. 

Shortly after I arrived back, I had to say goodbye to many of my closest friends in Nelson, as they headed off to Kenya on a month long missions trip, a trip that I was originally supposed to also be going on. I had such overwhelming emotions that day, seeing many of my favourite people all in one place, most of them I’d only seen once since arriving back. Then to be saying goodbye to them, just after I’d recently said hello, was pretty sad. More than missing them for a month though, was the knowledge of all the emotions and experiences they will have over there. Part of me was so excited for them and part of me was absolutely terrified for them! While my experiences were so different to what theirs will be, there are still elements that will overlap. There was also this anxiety of isolation again. Last time I’d left all my friends behind, but this time they were all leaving me, all at once! It was crazy.

I’m looking forward to hearing about their experiences and discussing life’s big questions with them. It is definitely hard having been through my experience in isolation, and although their journeys are different from mine, there will be overlap which I’m looking forward to debriefing!

Outdoor blinds are an excellent addition to any home in Christchurch, providing both functionality and style. They offer protection from the elements, enhance privacy, and can significantly improve the aesthetics of your outdoor spaces. In this blog, we’ll explore the top five tips for buying outdoor blinds in Christchurch, helping you make an informed decision for your home improvement project.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Material Selecting the right material for your outdoor blinds is crucial for ensuring durability and performance. In Christchurch, where weather conditions can be unpredictable, it’s essential to choose materials that can withstand rain, wind, and UV exposure.

PVC Blinds: PVC is a popular choice due to its water resistance and durability. It’s easy to clean and can handle varying weather conditions without losing its shape or color. Canvas Blinds: Canvas offers a classic look and provides good protection against the sun and rain. It’s a robust material that can be treated for added water resistance. Mesh Blinds: Mesh blinds are great for maintaining visibility while blocking out UV rays. They are ideal for areas where you want to keep the view but need some level of protection from the sun. When choosing your material, consider factors like UV protection, ease of maintenance, and how well the material will hold up against Christchurch’s specific weather conditions.

Tip 2: Measure Accurately Accurate measurements are vital to ensure that your outdoor blinds fit perfectly. Incorrect measurements can lead to blinds that don’t cover the intended area properly, which can affect both their appearance and functionality.

Measure Width and Height: Start by measuring the width and height of the area where the blinds will be installed. Use a tape measure and take multiple measurements to account for any inconsistencies. Consider Mounting Options: Decide whether you want your blinds mounted inside or outside the window frame. Inside mounts typically provide a cleaner look, while outside mounts can cover more of the window area. If you’re unsure about taking measurements yourself, consider hiring a professional to ensure accuracy. This will help avoid any potential issues with fitting and ensure that your blinds perform as expected.

Tip 3: Consider UV Protection UV protection is a key feature to look for in outdoor blinds, especially in a sunny region like Christchurch. UV rays can cause fading and deterioration of materials over time, so choosing blinds with effective UV protection can prolong their lifespan and maintain their appearance.

UV-Resistant Fabrics: Opt for fabrics specifically designed to block UV rays. These materials help protect your furniture and interiors from sun damage and can keep your outdoor space cooler. Tinted or Coated Options: Some blinds come with additional coatings or tints that enhance their UV-blocking capabilities. These can be particularly useful for reducing glare and protecting your outdoor areas. Ensuring that your blinds offer adequate UV protection will not only help in maintaining their quality but also enhance the comfort of your outdoor living space.

Tip 4: Look for Ease of Operation The ease of operation is another important factor to consider when choosing outdoor blinds. You want to select a system that is user-friendly and convenient for your needs.

Manual Blinds: Manual blinds are operated by a simple pull mechanism. They are often more affordable and require less maintenance, but they may not offer the convenience of motorized options. Remote-Controlled Blinds: These offer the highest level of convenience and can be controlled from anywhere in your home. They are especially useful if you have multiple blinds or large installations. Choose the operating mechanism that best suits your lifestyle and preferences to ensure that your outdoor blinds enhance both the functionality and comfort of your space.

Tip 5: Check for Customization Options Customization is a valuable aspect of choosing outdoor blinds. Tailoring your blinds to fit your specific needs and preferences can enhance their functionality and appearance.

Custom Sizes and Shapes: Ensure that the blinds can be customized to fit your unique space. This includes custom sizes and shapes to match the dimensions of your outdoor areas. Color and Style Options: Choose from a range of colors and styles that complement your home’s exterior. Customization allows you to select blinds that match your aesthetic preferences and enhance your home’s curb appeal. By investing in customized outdoor blinds, you can achieve a perfect fit and style that meets your specific requirements and enhances the overall look of your outdoor space.

Conclusion Choosing the right outdoor blinds for your home in Christchurch involves careful consideration of materials, measurements, UV protection, ease of operation, and customization options. By following these tips, you can ensure that you select blinds that not only meet your practical needs but also enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor spaces.

How Does Property Valuation Affect Your Home Sale Price?

When it comes to selling your home, understanding the relationship between property valuation and sale price is crucial. Property valuation can significantly impact your final sale price, and knowing how this process works can help you make informed decisions throughout your selling journey.

In this blog, we'll explore the role of property valuation in determining your home's sale price, the christchurch property valuation factors that influence valuation, and how you can leverage this knowledge to maximise your profit.

What is Property Valuation?

Property valuation is the process of determining the market value of a property. This value is an estimate of how much a property would sell for in the current market conditions. It's conducted by a professional appraiser or valuer who evaluates various factors to arrive at an accurate assessment. Valuation is essential for various purposes, including buying, selling, refinancing, and insurance.

The Impact of Property Valuation on Sale Price

Setting a Realistic Sale Price: The most direct impact of property valuation on your sale price is that it provides a realistic starting point. A thorough valuation helps you set a price that reflects the current market conditions and the value of similar properties in your area.

Overpricing your home based on unrealistic expectations can lead to prolonged market time, decreased interest, and ultimately, a lower sale price. Conversely, under-pricing your home can result in missed opportunities for higher offers.

Attracting Potential Buyers: A well-priced home attracts more potential buyers. When a property is accurately valued, it is more likely to generate interest from serious buyers who are looking for homes within a specific price range. An attractive price point can lead to multiple offers and possibly even a bidding war, which can drive up the final sale price.

Negotiation Leverage: Knowing your home's true value gives you a strong position during negotiations. If you have an accurate valuation, you can confidently justify your asking price to potential buyers. On the flip side, if the buyer's appraisal comes in lower than your asking price, you may need to negotiate or adjust your expectations.

Factors Influencing Property Valuation

Several factors influence how your property is valued:

Location: The location of your property is one of the most significant factors affecting its value. Properties in desirable neighbourhoods or those close to amenities such as schools, parks, and shopping centres typically have higher values. Factors like crime rates and local infrastructure also play a role.

Property Size and Condition: The size of your property, including the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and overall square footage, directly impacts its value. Additionally, the condition of your home - whether it's newly renovated or in need of repairs - affects its appraisal. Well-maintained properties often command higher prices.

Market Conditions: The state of the real estate market can greatly influence property values. In a seller's market, where demand exceeds supply, property values tend to rise. Conversely, in a buyer's market with an oversupply of homes, values may stagnate or decrease. Economic factors, interest rates, and housing trends also contribute to market conditions.

Comparable Sales: Appraisers look at recent sales of similar properties in your area, known as comparable or “comps,” to determine your home's value. These comparable provide a benchmark for what buyers have recently paid for similar properties, helping to gauge your home's market value.

Leveraging Property Valuation for Maximum Profit

To ensure you get the most out of your property valuation Christchurch sale, consider the following tips:

Get a Professional Valuation: Before listing your home, invest in a professional property valuation. This will provide you with a realistic understanding of your home's worth and help you set an appropriate asking price.

Enhance Curb Appeal: Investing in minor repairs and updates can improve your home's condition and attractiveness. Enhancing curb appeal, staging your home, and addressing any issues can positively influence its valuation and final sale price.

Monitor Market Trends: Stay informed about local real estate market trends. Understanding the market conditions can help you time your sale for optimal results and make adjustments based on current demand and supply.

Work with a Real Estate Agent: A skilled real estate agent can guide you through the selling process, including setting a competitive price based on your property's valuation. They can also help you market your home effectively and negotiate on your behalf.

Final Words

Property valuation plays a critical role in determining your home's sale price. By understanding the factors that influence valuation and leveraging this knowledge, you can make strategic decisions to achieve a successful sale.

Whether you're aiming to attract more buyers, negotiate effectively, or maximise your profit, a well-informed approach to property valuation Christchurch can make all the difference. So, before putting your home on the market, take the time to get a professional valuation and use the insights gained to your advantage.

How Can Home Builders Help You Save Money on Your New Home?

Building a new home is an exciting venture, but it also comes with significant financial responsibilities. From initial design to final construction, costs can quickly add up, making it essential to find ways to save without compromising on quality. 

Fortunately, experienced home builders can play a crucial role in helping you save money throughout the process. This blog will explore various strategies that home builders Christchurch use to keep your project within budget while ensuring a beautiful and functional home.

Understanding Your Budget

Initial Budget Planning

Before diving into the design and construction phases, setting a realistic budget is crucial. An experienced home builder can assist in creating a detailed budget plan that covers all aspects of the project, including land costs, construction expenses, permits, and interior finishes. By providing insights into typical costs associated with different design choices and materials, builders help ensure that you set aside an appropriate amount for each component of your new home.

Contingency Funds

Unexpected expenses can arise during construction, which is why having a contingency fund is essential. Builders can guide you on how much to set aside—typically around 10-15% of your total budget—to cover unforeseen issues or changes. This foresight helps prevent financial strain and ensures that your project can handle any surprises without derailing your plans.

Efficient Design and Planning

Design Choices That Save Money

The design phase is a critical opportunity to make cost-effective decisions. Home builders can offer valuable advice on selecting design features that fit within your budget while still meeting your aesthetic and functional needs. For instance, opting for a simpler roofline or fewer custom details can significantly reduce construction costs. Builders often have experience with design trends that provide both beauty and efficiency without breaking the bank.

Layout Optimisation

An efficient layout can lead to substantial savings. The new home builders Christchurch can help design a floor plan that minimises wasted space and reduces construction costs. For example, a compact design with fewer hallways and wasted space not only saves on materials but also on labour costs. Builders use their expertise to optimise layouts, ensuring that every square foot of your home is utilised effectively and cost-efficiently.

Future-Proofing

Planning for future needs can be a smart financial strategy. Builders can assist in incorporating features that allow for future expansion or upgrades without significant additional costs. For example, installing infrastructure for a future home office or additional rooms can save you money later on. By anticipating future needs and integrating flexible design elements, builders help you avoid costly retrofits down the road.

Cost-Effective Material Choices

Material Selection

Choosing the right materials is a key factor in managing construction costs. Builders often have access to a range of materials and can recommend affordable yet high-quality options. For instance, opting for standard finishes instead of custom or high-end materials can reduce expenses. Builders have experience working with various materials and can suggest those that provide the best balance between cost and durability.

Bulk Purchasing

Builders frequently have established relationships with suppliers and can take advantage of bulk purchasing discounts. By buying materials in larger quantities, builders often secure lower prices, which can be passed on to you. This not only reduces the cost of individual materials but also helps keep your overall construction budget in check.

Energy-Efficient Materials

Investing in energy-efficient materials can lead to significant long-term savings. Builders can advise on energy-efficient windows, insulation, and appliances that reduce utility bills and improve your home's overall sustainability. While these materials might have a higher upfront cost, the savings on energy bills over time often outweigh the initial investment.

Streamlined Construction Process

Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Construction projects can be prone to pitfalls that lead to additional costs. Experienced home builders Christchurch help you navigate these challenges by identifying potential issues early and offering solutions to avoid them. Common pitfalls include inadequate planning, design changes during construction, and unforeseen site conditions. Builders' expertise in managing these issues can help keep your project on track and within budget.

Time Management

Staying on schedule is crucial to avoiding extra costs associated with delays. Builders use their experience to manage project timelines effectively, ensuring that each phase of construction progresses as planned. Delays can lead to increased labour costs and other expenses, so efficient time management is essential for keeping your budget intact.

Quality Workmanship

High-quality workmanship not only enhances the durability of your home but also reduces the need for costly repairs in the future. Builders ensure that construction is done to the highest standards, using skilled labour and quality materials. This focus on quality helps prevent issues that could lead to expensive repairs or replacements later on.

Leveraging Builder’s Network

Subcontractor Relationships

Builders often have established relationships with subcontractors, such as electricians, plumbers, and carpenters. These new home builders Christchurch relationships can result in cost savings due to preferential rates or discounts that builders have negotiated. By leveraging these connections, builders can help you obtain high-quality services at a lower cost than if you were to hire subcontractors independently.

Supplier Discounts

Builders' connections with suppliers can lead to significant cost savings. Builders frequently receive discounts on materials and products due to their ongoing business relationships with suppliers. These savings can be passed on to you, helping to keep your overall construction costs lower.

Customisation and Flexibility

Phased Building Approach

A phased building approach allows you to spread out the costs of construction over time. Builders can help plan for phased construction, where you build essential parts of your home first and add additional features or rooms in subsequent phases. This approach helps manage your budget more effectively by allowing you to invest in upgrades and customisations at a later date.

Customisation Options

While customisation adds to the cost, builders can help you find a balance between personalising your home and staying within budget. They can provide options for cost-effective customisations that enhance your home's uniqueness without significantly increasing the overall cost. Builders' experience in managing customisation requests ensures that you get the features you want without overspending.

Post-Build Support

Warranty and Maintenance

A comprehensive warranty is an essential component of saving money in the long term. Builders often offer warranties on their work, covering defects and issues that may arise after construction is completed. This support can prevent unexpected repair costs and give you peace of mind that your investment is protected.

Future Upgrades

Builders can also provide advice on affordable future upgrades. By planning for upgrades that can be easily incorporated later, you can manage your initial budget more effectively. Builders can offer recommendations on features that can be added at a lower cost in the future, helping you avoid financial strain during the construction phase.

Summing Up

Building a new home is a significant financial commitment, but working with a knowledgeable and experienced home builder can help you save money throughout the process. From initial budget planning and cost-effective design choices to leveraging builder networks and ensuring quality workmanship, home builders Christchurch play a crucial role in keeping your project within budget. By understanding the various ways in which builders can help you save money, you can make informed decisions that result in a beautiful, functional, and cost-effective new home.

If you're planning to build a new home, consider consulting with a reputable home builder who can guide you through the process and help you achieve your budgetary goals. With the right builder by your side, you can enjoy the excitement of creating your dream home while keeping your finances in check.

Top 5 Tips for Buying Outdoor Blinds in Christchurch, NZ

Outdoor blinds are an excellent addition to any home in Christchurch, providing both functionality and style. They offer protection from the elements, enhance privacy, and can significantly improve the aesthetics of your outdoor spaces. In this blog, we’ll explore the top five tips for buying outdoor blinds in Christchurch, helping you make an informed decision for your home improvement project.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Material Selecting the right material for your outdoor blinds is crucial for ensuring durability and performance. In Christchurch, where weather conditions can be unpredictable, it’s essential to choose materials that can withstand rain, wind, and UV exposure.

PVC Blinds: PVC is a popular choice due to its water resistance and durability. It’s easy to clean and can handle varying weather conditions without losing its shape or color. Canvas Blinds: Canvas offers a classic look and provides good protection against the sun and rain. It’s a robust material that can be treated for added water resistance. Mesh Blinds: Mesh blinds are great for maintaining visibility while blocking out UV rays. They are ideal for areas where you want to keep the view but need some level of protection from the sun. When choosing your material, consider factors like UV protection, ease of maintenance, and how well the material will hold up against Christchurch’s specific weather conditions.

Tip 2: Measure Accurately Accurate measurements are vital to ensure that your outdoor blinds fit perfectly. Incorrect measurements can lead to blinds that don’t cover the intended area properly, which can affect both their appearance and functionality.

Measure Width and Height: Start by measuring the width and height of the area where the blinds will be installed. Use a tape measure and take multiple measurements to account for any inconsistencies. Consider Mounting Options: Decide whether you want your blinds mounted inside or outside the window frame. Inside mounts typically provide a cleaner look, while outside mounts can cover more of the window area. If you’re unsure about taking measurements yourself, consider hiring a professional to ensure accuracy. This will help avoid any potential issues with fitting and ensure that your blinds perform as expected.

Tip 3: Consider UV Protection UV protection is a key feature to look for in outdoor blinds, especially in a sunny region like Christchurch. UV rays can cause fading and deterioration of materials over time, so choosing blinds with effective UV protection can prolong their lifespan and maintain their appearance.

UV-Resistant Fabrics: Opt for fabrics specifically designed to block UV rays. These materials help protect your furniture and interiors from sun damage and can keep your outdoor space cooler. Tinted or Coated Options: Some blinds come with additional coatings or tints that enhance their UV-blocking capabilities. These can be particularly useful for reducing glare and protecting your outdoor areas. Ensuring that your blinds offer adequate UV protection will not only help in maintaining their quality but also enhance the comfort of your outdoor living space.

Tip 4: Look for Ease of Operation The ease of operation is another important factor to consider when choosing outdoor blinds. You want to select a system that is user-friendly and convenient for your needs.

Manual Blinds: Manual blinds are operated by a simple pull mechanism. They are often more affordable and require less maintenance, but they may not offer the convenience of motorized options. Remote-Controlled Blinds: These offer the highest level of convenience and can be controlled from anywhere in your home. They are especially useful if you have multiple blinds or large installations. Choose the operating mechanism that best suits your lifestyle and preferences to ensure that your outdoor blinds enhance both the functionality and comfort of your space.

Tip 5: Check for Customization Options Customization is a valuable aspect of choosing outdoor blinds. Tailoring your blinds to fit your specific needs and preferences can enhance their functionality and appearance.

Custom Sizes and Shapes: Ensure that the blinds can be customized to fit your unique space. This includes custom sizes and shapes to match the dimensions of your outdoor areas. Color and Style Options: Choose from a range of colors and styles that complement your home’s exterior. Customization allows you to select blinds that match your aesthetic preferences and enhance your home’s curb appeal. By investing in customized outdoor blinds, you can achieve a perfect fit and style that meets your specific requirements and enhances the overall look of your outdoor space.

Conclusion Choosing the right outdoor blinds for your home in Christchurch involves careful consideration of materials, measurements, UV protection, ease of operation, and customization options. By following these tips, you can ensure that you select blinds that not only meet your practical needs but also enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor spaces.
