JaiLai Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I have a condo with a nice balcony, unfortunately come 1600 / 1700 it becomes very hot with the sun going down. Does anyone have any experience with blind / shade installation and can recommend someone to come round have a look to see what the options are available. Thanks.

prk888 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 "Shade and Sail Makers " in Pattaya (google correct name) have installed several in our building Just to protect a balcony drinks fridge i used a large rattan blind suspended from ceiling on balcony and when down attached securely to floor retainers (or balcony railings). Worked well and only had to repalce it once in 7 years after THAT mini tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is Wattanaporn Curtain 46 Co., LTD 468/12-14 Naklua Rd. 038-225221, 225411, 225419. My good deed for the day was digging out their old business card. As I recall, they're serious & competent but not especially cheap. There are also some shops on Thepprasit that've been mentioned here before.

Guderian Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 For the expensive solution there used to be a stall that sells custom-made sun shades and blinds in the area outside Home Works. They can make a motorised version or a hand-cranked one that will fit your balcony. There's been some changes in that area though and I'm not certain they're still located there. Worth a look anyway. The cheap solution is the bamboo sun screens that they sell in several shops in soi post office up in Naklua. They only have a few widths available but they're only around 2000 Baht a time. One of the shops will deliver, the others seems to expect you to ride away with it on your motorbike. It's easy enough to install it yourself or get one of the condo maintenance guys to do it for you. They're nice when installed as you can still see through them, but they're very effective at blocking the sun. I've got five of them around my house. .

Those things sell for around 500 baht in Australia and that's for the big sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 We have four two metres wood blinds for that purpose, useful during the day to keep the sun off the house - about 2k baht each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were coming up Pattaya Klang from the beach, you'd turn left at the traffic lights next to Big C, proceed about 1 klm (guessing) and it's a big shop on the right hand side. You can't miss it, they have lots of garden pots (at least they used to) outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I bought three sets of bamboo blinds from Index about 8 years ago for the front patio; maybe around 800 baht each? Just spent 80 baht on new strings for the lot and although they look weathered, they still work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good quality material and for some reason they don't seem to get dirty. That shop outside Home Works is Home & Awning Pattaya, good people, clean work, good service, fair prices.

joeyg Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Looking more for something to cover the balcony railings 59 long x 31 high pretty small. Setting up a computer work space out there. I'm really more interested in preventing anything from falling off from the 21 st floor and still keep airflow. I've scene a couple here at Lumpini complex. Looks like shade cloth. One is plain green the other has a soccer pattern on it. Just covers the steel railing. Wondering if its set up with grommets and tied on with zip ties or small nylon rope. Can tell for sure?

thailen Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Did you say this shop is near Big C Extra on Pattaya Klang? If I'm walking past Big C on my left, what do I do? If that shop sells rattan blinds 1 meter wide, I can trim it to fit inside a 36" wide louvered door x 80" long for 2000 baht, correct? I sure wish someone knew the name of that shop, so directions wouldn't confuse me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a couple of shops in that road that sell cane and bamboo furniture that also sell blinds. Edited July 11, 2017 by giddyup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleble Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 hello, do you know if the naklua shop also sells clear plastic curtains (transparent), because I like to see the view even when it's raining. And do you have a google map location ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
