A modernised take on a classic control type, Zipscreen’s Crank Control operates your shade with just a few quick twists. The Crank is designed to move your shade up and down with minimal effort, eliminating the need to bend down or reach up. With a removable handle and customisable colours, the crank can be installed in a position that’s both comfortable and discrete.

Zipscreen Awnings are Adaptable to Suit Almost Any Outdoor Requirement

You can use Zipscreen blinds anywhere that you require protection from insects, wind, sun or rain. Being custom-made to fit and featuring self-aligning side channels, Zipscreen awnings and blinds can be used as pergola blinds, external roller blinds for windows and other unique areas of your home or business.

Select from a variety of different fabrics. Opt for complete privacy with a blockout screen, or choose a mesh fabric to maintain a mostly unobstructed view of your outdoor surroundings. The versatility of Zipscreen outdoor blinds is impressive! At Alfresco Blinds Co, we have options to suit different measurement requirements. You can opt for our standard Zipscreen blinds for areas spanning up to 5 metres or choose our new Zipscreen Extreme System for areas up to 7 metres. They are designed for large residential and commercial usage.

These products have a smooth operation with a high wind rating best suited to Melbourne conditions. Zipscreen Blinds provide privacy and all year round protection from the sun, wind and rain.

Specifications

Zipscreen Extreme specifications

With a high strength, high-quality double locking channel system, Zipscreen blinds can be manually operated or are available with an optional remote control. All are customised to fit your space perfectly ensuring the correct tension while upholding style and sophistication.

The Zipscreen blind is held into the channel by a small zip. Note: there is no actual zipper but just one side of a 5mm Zip. The zip is high frequency welded to the fabric and comes only in Black or Cream. The key advantage of the Zipscreen Zip is that is not seen easily as it only welded on one side of the fabric (the rear side generally) and the zip sits concealed within the channels.
