Specifically designed Outdoor Blinds to enclose your alfresco entertaining areas.
Using ‘zLOCK’ technology that locks the fabric into a patented side-channel design, your blind is sure to hold taut. Specifically designed to enclose alfresco entertaining areas, patios, balconies and verandahs, Zipscreen Blinds look great against windows, so they can complement almost any area. Custom designed and manufactured, the Zipscreen system can be made in widths of up to 5m and drops up to 4m, offering you the ultimate in external outdoor blind shading solutions.
Developed by Australia’s largest blind and shading system designer, Rollease Acmeda, this product serves as a sleek, secure, and durable alternative to traditional awnings or roller shutters. Designers took specific attention to ensure the Box, Rails and Components are designed with a European finish, to suit the latest contemporary exterior architecture of Australian homes.
Often compared to the Ziptrak® Blind system, the Zipscreen offers a refined look which many customers prefer. The class-leading soft lift springs, crank operated gearbox and motorisation control options allow the product to suit a variety of home and commercial applications.
For larger openings, the Zipscreen Extreme, using commercial grade stainless steel componentry, allows for spans up to 7m wide and 5m drop. This impressive system is delightfully easy to use and sits beautifully flat in even the most challenging of installations.

The Zipscreen is a well-designed and engineered system of hardware and fabric that fully encloses an opening. A spline is welded to each side of the fabric, which is wrapped around an aluminium top tube that can be covered by a modern square box cassette.
At each side of the blind is an inner and outer channel that attaches to a post or wall, which the fabric slides down and is captured within the channel. A powder coated bottom rail is also attached to the fabric curtain and can be fitted with a bumper strip or fabric flap for larger gaps and on uneven surfaces. An integrated feeding funnel and hidden top stop ensure the fabric remains held in the channels.
Available in a range of contemporary fabrics, including clear or tinted PVC, shade-weave mesh and a privacy mesh. You can also choose to have enclosed head-box covers or hoods, as well as a variety of custom powder-coated colours to match and complement any home or building.
Zipscreen Blinds come standard with a manual spring-loaded operation. You also have the option of a manual crank function or a Somfy or Acmeda motor with remote control.
With Adelaide’s largest choice of outdoor fabrics, you can choose from a broad range of colours, patterns and textures – including the latest generation PVC coated woven polyester mesh, and acrylic fabrics.
Zipscreen Blinds work well with Clear PVC. At Stan Bond, we use the highest quality low shrink japanese clear available to ensure you get the best outcome from this volatile product.
Some of the main differences between Zipscreen and Ziptrak include the headbox shape, channelling system and hold down locks. The Stan Bond team have provided an in-depth comparison of the two Outdoor Blinds on our Blog. The full article highlighting the differences between Zipscreen and Ziptrak can be read HERE.
On average, Zipscreen Outdoor Blinds cost between $800 to $1,700. For larger areas over 5 metres wide, motorised Zipscreen Extreme can cost between $3,000 to $4,000.
Zipscreen Outdoor Blinds can span up to 5 metres wide with a 3.2 metre drop. For larger areas, Zipscreen Extreme is available which is a heavy duty Zipscreen system specifically designed for larger spaces. Zipscreen Extreme can reach up to 7 metres wide with a 4 metre drop. Zipscreen Extreme Blinds must be motorised for ease of use due to their large size.
Zipscreen Blinds are wind resistant, however they are not designed to stop strong winds. It is recommended that the blinds be raised during strong winds or storms as they can damage your blind.
With Zipscreen Blinds, you have the choice of 1% openness mesh, 5% openness mesh or PVC. All mesh options allow you to see through the Zipscreen, however 1% openness mesh has a tighter weave, which will block out more view, sunlight, wind and rain. 5% openness mesh is the most popular option. PVC is completely see-through, but does need frequent cleaning.
Zipscreen blinds can be a great addition to alfresco areas, but it’s essential to ensure proper ventilation for safety. When using plumbed-in gas barbecues, Australian Standards (AS/NZS 5601.1) require sufficient airflow to prevent the buildup of harmful gases like carbon monoxide.
The standards do not explicitly address blinds or other removable coverings, so definitive advice on their impact is not provided. However, to maintain ventilation, Zipscreen Blinds should be installed or raised to ensure at least 25% of the total wall space in the outdoor area remains open.
For additional safety, we recommend installing a carbon monoxide detector. Furthermore, whenever operating a gas appliance, such as a barbecue, outdoor blinds should always be raised to ensure adequate ventilation.
Please note, while these recommendations reflect best practices, only a licensed gas fitter can provide definitive advice on compliance with building and safety regulations for your alfresco area.
Testimonials
I had three sets of day-night blinds installed and a Veri-shade. Very happy with the total experience from Stan Bond. Professional advice, personal assistance, on time, easy to deal with. I benefited from the suggestions and care taken by each staff member. The blinds and shade look lovely and perform exactly as I had hoped.
It is so rare these days that a company offers such wonderful service and quality of product. From the very start to the very end, nothing short of pure excellence. Jenny was amazing with her suggestions and ideas, her patience very much appreciated and her ability to get the job done within limited timescales very much appreciated. This is my second experience with this company, internal shutters and curtains to go to complete my home and I will not even bother to get quotes elsewhere. Thank you Jenny, and all the team at Stan Bond - don't ever close your doors please!
We found Stan Bond to have really friendly, knowledgeable staff, they were reasonably priced, had fast turnaround and the installer was efficient and cleaned up after himself and was of minimal disruption to our office staff who were all working throughout the installation process. Very happy with the service, we would definitely use again.
