Choose by outcome
Start with shade, glare, privacy, wind reduction, rain reduction, view and airflow. A 5% dark mesh is a useful covered-patio starting point, not a universal answer.
Velaris Outdoor Blind Systems · V7.3 / V8
Track-guided outdoor blinds selected by opening, exposure and outcome.
Velaris Outdoor Blind Systems is a zip-track outdoor blind platform for residential, hospitality and commercial openings. Choose the model, fabric openness and operation around shade, view, privacy, airflow and weather exposure rather than treating one fabric or one blind size as the answer to every opening.

Velaris Outdoor Blind Systems is a screen system, not a structural wall, security shutter or guaranteed watertight enclosure. Mesh is not waterproof. Final wind guidance, dimensions, fabric, controls, fixings and severe-weather operating instructions are confirmed for the exact project before order.
Large-format enclosure
A cleaner way to close a large outdoor opening without turning it into a solid wall.
The guided fabric sits within a framed opening while preserving a visual connection through the screen. Final cassette, track, fabric, openness, motor and fixing selection still depends on the actual span, drop, exposure and desired level of privacy or airflow.
Velaris project gallery
Residential, pergola and commercial enclosure examples.
These images show representative Velaris guided outdoor-blind applications across louvre structures, patios and hospitality openings. Final cassette, side guides, fabric, colour, fixing, controls and engineering are confirmed for the actual opening.
Project fit
The system is selected around the opening, exposure and desired enclosure.
Fabric openness
Lower openness increases privacy and shade but catches more wind; higher openness improves view and airflow. Clear PVC and blockout are separate pathways where mesh is not the right material.
V7.3 or V8
V7.3 suits many residential and light-commercial openings. V8 is the starting point for exceptionally wide, tall or heavier-duty commercial openings and may be better divided into independent zones.
Operation + resilience
Motorisation suits larger or frequently used blinds. Selected manual and hybrid motor/hand-crank configurations add operating flexibility, with Tuya and weather-sensor options where appropriate.
Coastal + Pacific use
Salt, humidity and severe-weather procedures affect fabric, finish, cleaning frequency, staff operation and fixing decisions. Coastal installations need more frequent fresh-water rinsing.
Safe ownership
Keep tracks clear, clean gently, inspect after strong weather and retract before forecast high winds or debris risk unless written project-specific instructions explicitly state otherwise.

Open packageComplete the project
Consider the systems that naturally sit around this decision.
Pair vertical weather control with an adjustable overhead roof where a complete outdoor room is required.
Use retractable or tilting shelter where the project needs greater overhead flexibility.
Coordinate blinds with cooking, services and storage where the protected space is used for entertaining.
Add movable shade to uncovered areas adjoining the protected opening or terrace.
