Description
Outdoor blinds need to handle New Zealand’s changing weather, coastal environments, and the demands of modern outdoor living. While standard PVC blinds are common in the market, they come with well-known issues: shrinking, clouding, cracking, yellowing, and distorted visibility over time.
Titan TPU Blinds by Apollo NZ are engineered to eliminate those limitations. Built from high-performance Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), these blinds offer superior clarity, strength, stability, and long-term durability — making them the next generation of outdoor clear blinds.
What Are Titan TPU Blinds?
Titan TPU Blinds use advanced TPU film, a premium material originally designed for high-performance applications such as aeronautics, marine gear, and industrial protection. TPU delivers exceptional flexibility, optical clarity, and weather resistance — far beyond what standard PVC can achieve.
Designed for pergolas, outdoor rooms, cafés, restaurants, and commercial spaces, Titan TPU Blinds maintain crystal-clear visibility and long-lasting performance in both hot and cold environments.
Key characteristics of TPU include:
Outstanding transparency
High tensile strength
UV and weather resistance
No shrinking or warping
Odour-free and low-VOC
Long-term clarity
Why Titan TPU Blinds Are Better Than Normal PVC Blinds
PVC blinds are cost-effective but come with significant drawbacks, especially in climates like New Zealand and the Pacific. Titan TPU Blinds resolve these issues through upgraded materials and professional engineering.
✔ Superior Clarity & Visibility
PVC commonly ripples, clouds, or distorts over time.
TPU stays smooth and clear, providing uninterrupted views all year.
✔ No Shrinking — Even in Cold Weather
PVC expands in heat and shrinks in winter.
TPU maintains consistent dimensions, ensuring smooth operation and a perfect fit.
✔ Stronger & More Flexible
TPU offers far greater tensile strength than PVC, making it more resistant to:
Wind pressure
Stretching
Creasing
Impact damage
Ideal for high-wind or high-use environments.
✔ UV, Weather & Salt-Spray Resistant
PVC yellows and degrades under UV or coastal conditions.
TPU resists:
UV breakdown
Clouding
Yellowing
Surface stickiness
Salt corrosion
Perfect for coastal NZ homes, marine areas, and Pacific island climates.
✔ No Yellowing or Clouding Over Time
Titan TPU maintains clarity far longer than PVC, which often deteriorates within 1–2 years.
✔ Odour-Free & Eco-Safer
PVC contains plasticisers that release odours over time.
TPU is stable, odour-free, and low-VOC — safer for enclosed spaces.
✔ Stays Flexible in the Cold
Where PVC becomes brittle in winter, TPU stays soft and workable, extending its usable life.
Why Titan TPU Blinds Are Perfect for Fiji and the Pacific Islands
Fiji and the Pacific Islands have some of the harshest environments for outdoor blinds — high humidity, intense UV levels, salt-heavy air, and sudden tropical storms. PVC blinds deteriorate rapidly under these conditions.
Titan TPU Blinds are specifically suited for Fiji and Pacific resort environments because they offer:
✔ High UV Resistance for Tropical Sun
Fiji experiences extremely high UV exposure.
While PVC yellows or hardens quickly, TPU stays:
Clear
Stable
Flexible
UV-resistant
Ideal for beachfront villas, outdoor dining, and resort pergolas.
✔ Salt-Spray & Corrosion Protection
Coastal air in Fiji is heavily salt-laden, which accelerates PVC degradation.
TPU resists salt corrosion and remains clear — essential for:
Beach bars
Poolside lounges
Overwater bures
Coastal cafés
✔ Stability in Heat & Humidity
PVC expands, softens, or wrinkles in tropical heat.
TPU maintains shape and smoothness regardless of humidity or temperature.
✔ Resilience During Tropical Weather
Sudden rain, strong gusts, and rapid temperature changes are common.
TPU’s superior strength makes Titan Blinds more resilient during:
Tropical storms
High winds
Heavy rains
✔ Longer Life — Better for Hotels & Resorts
Frequent replacements cost resorts time and money.
TPU blinds hold their clarity and shape much longer than PVC, delivering better long-term value for:
Resorts
Restaurants
Hotels
Holiday homes
Outdoor kitchens
Where Titan TPU Blinds Are Used
Titan TPU Blinds are ideal for:
Residential pergolas & decks
Outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas
Cafés, restaurants & resorts
Coastal or high-wind locations
Spaces requiring premium clear visibility
