What are the Key Features of Outdoor Blinds?
Their design features a large fabric panel that rolls up onto a tube. A bottom rail is attached to the bottom of the skin to add weight and to ensure the blind operates correctly. Complementing this, side guides are fitted to both sides and securely hold the fabric in place throughout operation.
One of the key differences between Zipscreen™ and our other Zip Style Awnings is the unique zip-guided system (z-LOCK™) that runs along both sides of the fabric. z-LOCK™ helps to maintain the tension across the whole fabric section and can also afford easier operation.
Zipscreen™ Blinds can also be made as small as 500mm to help enclose those small openings and the Zipscreen™ Extreme which boasts heavy-duty components can span distances up to 7 meters. Elevate your space with Zipscreen™ and experience a new level of outdoor living!

Limitations to Consider?
As with all side retention awning systems currently on the market they can be hard to use in windy conditions. In windy conditions, the fabric pushes against the channel which creates increased friction. They can still be used in windy conditions, but care should be taken when operating.
Another consideration is that the locking pin option can only be used from one side, so it is best to utilise this option for areas that do not require operation from either side. There are two different alternatives that help to overcome this. The most simple is to opt for no locking mechanism which allows for quick and easy use. The second option is to add Zipscreens Ultra-lock™ which is a premium easy to use locking solution that can be centrally operated from inside or outside the blind.
What Maintenance is Required?
We recommend regular cleaning (at least every 3 months) to ensure surfaces are free from dirt, dust and grime. Use a soft brush to clean the blind, paying particular attention along the side channels to prevent dust and dirt from building up.
Aluminium extrusions can be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water or a small amount of mild detergent if required. Do not use any oil-based sprays as it can cause dirt and grime build up in the side guides and can damage certain fabrics.
