Blinds & awnings for Bantry Bay

Built closer to the water than almost anywhere else

Bantry Bay's apartment blocks sit stacked up a cliff face with the Atlantic essentially at the foundations, which means the salt spray and wind exposure most Mouille Point buildings get on a windy day is closer to a daily reality here. Anything mounted outside — a zip screen, a roller shutter, an awning bracket — gets the top end of our marine-grade spec, not the standard coastal one.

Floor-to-ceiling glass, built for the view it was bought for

Units here are generally bought and renovated specifically for the uninterrupted Atlantic sunset, so the glazing tends to run floor-to-ceiling on the sea-facing wall with very little else to soften the glare. Sunscreen roller blinds and day/night blinds do the daily work of keeping that view liveable through the afternoon without blocking it outright; exterior shading comes in for units that want the option of full glare control on the harshest days.

Sectional title on a genuinely constrained site

Like the rest of this stretch of coast, Bantry Bay's blocks are sectional title, so exterior fittings need body corporate sign-off. The cliffside sites also mean less room to manoeuvre than a flat promenade block — access, parking and the practicalities of getting equipment up to a high unit are things we plan around before the install date, not on the day.
