Are outdoor blinds weatherproof and suitable for year-round use?

Yes, outdoor blinds are designed to withstand Australian conditions and are suitable for year-round use. High-quality systems are made to be wind and rain resistant, helping protect against sun, wind and light to moderate rain while improving comfort and temperature control in your outdoor space. However, during extreme weather conditions such as heavy storms or very high winds, we always recommend retracting the blinds to avoid any potential damage and help extend the life of the product.

What is the difference between Zipscreen and Ziptrak blinds?

Both Zipscreen and Ziptrak are premium outdoor blind systems designed for Australian conditions, offering protection from sun, wind and rain while improving comfort in outdoor spaces year-round. Ziptrak features a track-guided system with a centre lock release, making it a popular option for smooth manual operation and everyday durability. Zipscreen uses a zip-guided tension system, creating a sleeker, more streamlined appearance that is especially popular for modern homes and motorised applications. Zipscreen is also generally the preferred option for wider spans, offering excellent stability across larger openings.

Ziptrak allows you to make the most of the outdoors and is the perfect way to extend your living space and enjoy your alfresco area through the four seasons.

Auto Guide Awning

Offering fantastic sun protection, our auto guide awning blinds are most popular for traditional style homes.
