Some homeowners can’t agree on whether outdoor balconies are a boon or a bane; they either see it as unusable space or love the opportunity for gardening. The answer to this issue is located at MC.2’s stylish new gallery in Ubi, in the form of the Securezip blinds by Altex, which can transform a balcony or patio into an extended “indoor” space any time. This is made possible as its fabric shields the space from rain and strong winds, while keeping the air-conditioning in.

The Securezip blinds are not the only game-changing product here. Shoppers can explore the extensive range of innovative window and wall solutions by Toso and Hunter Douglas. Hunter Douglas’ Powerview, for instance, is a system that allows motorised blinds to be operated via a phone app, as well as via voice automated home systems like Amazon Alexa.

The pleated blinds by Toso are a stylish two-inone product, with one sheer and one opaque fabric that’s customisable. A sheer upper fabric lets in light, while the eye-level opaque fabric provides privacy. If your home faces the sun, keep the heat out with an opaque upper fabric.

You can shop for wall claddings and sound systems here, too. MC.2 has expanded to include a wide range of brands, such as sound system brand Sonos, stone specialists Polystone, and flooring supplier Wood Couture.
