Frequently Asked Questions
Can Zipscreen® be used if the area is out of square?
Zipscreen® features a unique side adjustment which can help mitigate installation issues in unaligned/out of square areas.
How does the unique side fastening system work?
The fastener is welded onto the fabric and fed into the side rails, allowing it to be securely guided up and down in operation. This unique fastening system provides the stability and protection needed in alfresco blinds.
How large can Zipscreen® be made?
Your external roller blinds can expand to a total area of 14 sqm. The maximum possible width for standard Zipscreen® is 5.8 metres and maximum drop is 4 metres.
Zipscreen Extreme® is best used in wider applications of up to 7 metres in a single span without needing divider posts. It also can achieve drops of up to 5 metres, with the ability to cover a total area of 35 sqm.
Where can I use Zipscreen® shade cloth blinds?
The most common use is as outdoor patio blinds. They are easily installed on verandas, balconies and other outdoor entertaining areas, and even as pergola blinds. Increasingly Zipscreen® is being used as an outdoor window covering providing a stylish alternative to outdoor shutters or awnings. This prevents sun heat from ever reaching the window pane, which helps with maintaining a cooler indoor temperature.
Why use an external sunshade?
External shade blinds create a comfortable outdoor area in any season, whether you want to stay cool on hot summer days, trap the heat in the cooler months, or simply create a barrier to protect you from insects and inclement weather. Importantly, these all-weather blinds help minimise your reliance on heating and cooling by helping maintain a comfortable temperature in the sectioned off area. This means that you can reduce your energy consumption whilst helping the environment.
Can I leave the blinds down on windy days?
A: Zipscreen® blinds are trusted by thousands of Australian homes and businesses to provide an enjoyable outdoor living space. The strong and robust system is commonly installed throughout coastal regions and locations prone to high winds. If you are considering the wind speed, or wind rating for Zipscreen®, please take note of the following information:
In windy conditions, blinds should be left down and locked, or fully retracted – half way is the most vulnerable position. During severe weather events, your blinds should be fully retracted.
You may find Zipscreen® spring-balanced blinds are a little tricky to operate during windy conditions due to the pressure of the wind on the blind material. Use your hand to push against the blind material to reduce this pressure and then operate the blind.
Care must be taken when operating motorized Zipscreen® blinds in windy conditions. They must be supervised whilst raising and lowering at all times.
Installation is crucial to determining the performance of your blind in wind.
