Discover the benefits of Zipscreen awnings
Hassle-free operation
Featuring a simple yet sophisticated design, Zipscreen awnings can be crank operated, spring operated or motorised for complete convenience. Plus, the track-guided system secures the blind in place whilst allowing it to slide smoothly. No ropes or pulleys necessary.
All-weather protection
Entertain family and friends outside, come rain, hail or shine. With a high wind rating, optional weather sensors for automatic retraction and unique track-guided system that creates an unrivalled seal, zip awnings protect your space from UV rays and intense weather.
Day-to-night privacy
Want to unwind outside without interruption? A Zipscreen awning offers the perfect amount of privacy whenever desired. Choose a blockout polyester awning for total discretion, or a PVC or mesh fabric to enjoy some peace and quiet while preserving the view.
A contemporary touch
This minimal awning design creates a modern, architectural look. With the zips and fabric concealed within channels, you can enjoy a clean finish, free from flapping. Discover an array of fabrics and colours to enhance your style, as well as the choice of an open or enclosed roller.
More room to relax
Extend your outdoor living area with a Zipscreen awning, custom-made for your unique home or office. Need to reduce glare inside without taking up valuable space? Simply install this external awning on your windows to enjoy shade without the clutter.
Energy-efficient comfort
Outdoor zip screens minimise air transfer, in turn keeping you cool during hot summer days and cosy on chilly winter nights! This also means more cost-effective temperature regulation.
Insect-free spaces
Don’t let insects get in the way of a good time outside. Zipscreen awnings utilise innovative z-LOCK™ technology to provide a complete seal between the fabric screen and side channels, preventing pests from invading your alfresco area.
Automate your Zipscreen awning with Somfy®
It’s time to enjoy effortless privacy and sun protection. Discover the exclusive Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) wireless control system or raise and lower your motorised Zipscreen blind with voice command.
Plus, optional weather sensors trigger the awning to retract automatically in harsh conditions. That means minimal wear and tear for maximum longevity.
