Urangan is one of Hervey Bay’s largest and longest-established suburbs, stretching along the foreshore from the marina precinct to the Urangan Pier. It has a lot of older Queensland-style homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, alongside newer townhouses and apartments around the marina and harbour.
Direct water frontage and the south-easterly wind make Urangan one of the toughest spots on the Fraser Coast for window furnishings. Properties within 500 metres of the waterfront, particularly around the harbour and the pier, get salt-laden air that corrodes untreated hardware and wears out standard roller blind mechanisms within a few years. For Urangan homes we recommend powder-coated or marine-grade hardware on everything, UV-rated sunscreen fabrics on east and north-facing windows, and proper security screens rather than standard flyscreens on ground-floor openings near the foreshore.
Blinds for Urangan homes and units
A lot of our Urangan work is in units and townhouses near the marina, where the windows are big and the sun comes straight off the water. Sunscreen roller blinds cut the glare and still let you see out. Blockout or double roller blinds suit the bedrooms. In the older 1970s and 1980s homes further back from the water, aluminium venetians are a hard-wearing option that copes with the humidity, and vertical blinds or panel glides work well on wide sliding doors.
Plantation shutters and outdoor blinds in Urangan
Timber shutters don’t last well within a few streets of the water, so in Urangan we usually recommend aluminium or PVC plantation shutters. You get the same look, and they won’t swell or warp in the salt air. On balconies and patios, zipscreens and outdoor blinds hold up far better than loose blinds when the south-easterly is blowing, and they keep out rain and insects when they’re down.
Security screens for Urangan properties
Ground-floor units and homes close to the foreshore get the most out of stainless steel mesh security screens. You can leave doors and windows open for the breeze at night without worrying about security, and the mesh stands up to salt far better than standard flyscreen.
Urangan FAQs
Do I need body corporate approval for blinds in a unit?
Usually not for internal blinds or shutters. External items like security screens, outdoor blinds and awnings often do, because they change how the building looks. Check your body corporate by-laws first. We can supply product details and colour options for the application.
How long do blinds last this close to the water?
It mostly comes down to the hardware. Standard steel parts can rust within a few years near the marina. Powder-coated and marine-grade parts last much longer, which is what we recommend for waterfront homes in Urangan.
