The Evaya ev80 is one of Instaco’s most popular external venetian blinds for Queensland homes and commercial builds — from Brisbane’s inner-city apartments facing the CBD’s heat and glare, to coastal properties dealing with salt air and harsh UV year-round. Roll-formed and machined right here in Australia, the ev80 gives architects, builders and homeowners precise control over light, heat and privacy without compromising on durability in demanding Queensland conditions.

External Venetian Blinds Built for Queensland's Climate
The ev80 isn’t adapted for Australian heat and UV — it’s roll-formed and machined here in Australia to handle it from the ground up. Every blade is chemically pre-treated and stove-enamelled, giving the powder-coat finish real resistance to fading, cracking and corrosion under sustained Australian sun — not just a coating that looks good on day one. The aluminium construction won’t warp, crack or degrade the way timber or PVC shading can under constant UV and heat, and every wire and fixing component is UV-stable by design, right down to the PVC-sheathed marine-grade steel guide wires. Whether you’re shading a Brisbane home through summer or a coastal property facing salt air and harsh sun year-round, the ev80 is built to perform — not just survive — season after season.

Demanding and adaptable, the ev80 is by far the most versatile external venetian in the market. The 80mm rolled edge C-Shaped slats allow the blinds to be rotated, stopped and tilted through a 160 degree range of movement, ensuring precise and incremental control of light, heat, glare and privacy. Available with a suite of side channel systems with the option of alternating or consecutive side guide pinning, ladder locking and the addition of intermediate wire guides for enhanced wind stability, the ev80 is the perfect shading solution for the Australian climate.
Type 1: Wire Guided:
Wire guides are an effective means of anchoring external venetian blinds to their fixings and provide minimal visual obstruction. High quality 316 marine grade stainless steel wire is utilised, which is coated with a UV stable PVC sheath to prevent interference and friction with the slat surface. A unique attachment system fastens the wire to the headrail and numerous options are available as anchoring or termination points, including deck plates and stand offs. It must be noted that, as with all wire guided blinds, wind loading will result in the blind vibrating and resonating and there will always be an associated 20 percent filtering of light through the slats due to their single concave/convex design.
Type 2: Side Pins
As a world first, we are pleased to announce the release of a revolutionary new addition to our range. After thorough testing we are able to offer stainless steel side guide pins. A marine grade finish provides the highest level of protection and resistance against salt corrosion. Where stable and refined operation is required the benefits of utilising side channel guidance systems far outweigh any other means of securing external venetians. Side pins, constructed from either Zamac or Stainless Steel, are an innovative means of stabilising and improving the performance of these blinds. These pins are machine riveted to the slats which then engage into the side channels. Each extruded aluminium side guide has a plastic insert (or keder) which acts to minimise friction, resistance and resonance.
Type 3:
Specifications as per Type 2 with the addition of Double Pinning which incorporates Side Pins on both sides of individual slats. This configuration is often recommended in extremely windy settings to enhance performance and stability.
