Australian weather is perfect for outdoor living, but the harsh sun, wind, and insects can sometimes force you inside. If you want to use your patio all year round, window furnishings like external awnings are a brilliant solution.
The Zipscreen awnings system gives you privacy and protection, helping you create a comfortable outdoor haven without the stress of a renovation.


What are Zipscreen Awnings?
Zipscreen Awnings are Australian-designed, custom-made outdoor blind. Instead of flapping in the breeze, the fabric is held tight inside sleek metal channels running down the sides of your opening. They can be custom-made to fit huge spaces—up to 7 metres wide and 5 metres tall.
How Do They Work?
The system is designed to be incredibly easy to use:
- The Hidden Zip: The fabric has a special zip that locks securely inside the side channels, meaning there are zero gaps for bugs to get through.
- Smooth Rolling: The system is built for effortless operation, so raising and lowering the blind is always easy.
- Smart Locking: Many Zipscreen Awnings feature an Ultra-Lock system that clicks the blind securely into place at the bottom, keeping the fabric tight and secure.

Why Aussie Homes Love Them
- All-Seasons Living: They provide excellent sun, wind, and insect protection for year-round entertaining.
- Reliable and Tough: With high-quality materials and careful design, Zipscreen Awnings give you confidence that your outdoor space stays protected and comfortable.
Easy Control Options
- Spring Operation: Gently pull the blind up or down by hand, using a handy pull stick for taller openings.
- Crank Handle: Simply turn a winding handle to effortlessly move the blind without any heavy lifting.
- Motorised: Power your awnings with a motor and control them via a remote, smartphone app, or even voice commands.

Quick Cleaning Tips
- Wash Gently: Clean every three months using a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap.
- No Pressure Washers: Never use high-pressure hoses, harsh chemicals, or solvents.
- Let Them Dry: If your awnings get wet, leave them down until completely dry to prevent mold and mildew.
