Outdoor Blinds Done Properly

Most blind failures come from rushed installs and cheap parts. Brackets bend. Motors burn out. Fabric creases. PVC clouds early. This is what happens when installers rush in and out or rely on flimsy components. A blind is not something you just drill in and hope for the best. One bad angle and the wind shakes it apart. We take the opposite approach. Correct tensioning. Quality materials. Measured and installed by Scott. This is why our blinds last for years, not seasons.

Old zipper blinds fail because the zips twist, stretch, and jam. Ziptrak and Zipscreen do not use old zipper systems. Ziptrak uses a vertical Cordura spline that locks into an aluminium channel. Zipscreen uses a tensioned straight drop system with no external zippers. Both avoid the failure points that gave older blinds a bad name.

Most installs are completed within four weeks. During summer the schedule fills quickly, so earlier approval secures your preferred slot.

Clear PVC absorbs moisture when the weather is cool or dewy. This can create a temporary milky look. Direct sunlight removes the moisture and restores full clarity. This is normal across all PVC. We use premium Japanese made marine grade PVC because it stays clearer for longer and is more resistant to scratching.

Use Vuplex and microfibre towels. Avoid strong cleaners. We recommend a professional clean once per year. We can arrange this for you. You can also download our Blinds Care and Maintenance Guide for full instructions.

Yes. Ziptrak works very well with mesh fabrics. It provides airflow and privacy while blocking heat and glare.

Yes. We regularly install on brick, timber, steel, tile, rendered surfaces, and mixed materials. Irregular posts and balustrades are not a problem.

You get clear advice from Scott. He will explain what works, what fails, which system suits your home, and what to avoid. No pressure. No pushy follow ups. You receive a proper measure and a clear quote within one business day.

A deposit between twenty five and fifty percent starts manufacturing. The remaining balance is due on installation day.

Both are excellent systems, but they suit different needs. Ziptrak is a guided track system that holds the blind in place from top to bottom. No rattling. No movement in strong wind. Ideal for enclosing patios and creating outdoor rooms. Works with clear PVC or shade mesh. Very easy to operate. Great for large spaces that need stability.

Zipscreen is a premium tensioned straight drop system made by Rollease Acmeda. Works beautifully for modern homes that want a cleaner, architectural look. Excellent for shade mesh applications. Very strong in wind when installed correctly. Smooth operation and a refined finish. We install both. We will tell you honestly which system suits your space and why.

There is no single best system for every home. It depends on exposure, size, fabric choice, and how you will use the area.

You receive a full three year warranty on all installs. After that, any repair is done at cost. No call out traps. No hidden fees. We stand by our work.

Yes. We supply and install fixed or removable posts to ensure the blinds remain stable, seal properly, and operate smoothly.

We use extruded marine grade PVC made in Japan. It offers better clarity, better scratch resistance, and better long term performance than cheaper alternatives.

For Zipscreen and shade mesh systems, you can choose from ShadeView, Vista Weave, Visiontex or Outlook fabrics in a wide range of colours. For Ziptrak, both clear PVC and shade mesh options are available.

Every blind is made to measure. For PVC, we generally keep to about three thousand four hundred millimetres wide with a drop around two thousand nine hundred millimetres. For shade mesh we can go wider, up to about three thousand eight hundred millimetres, while still maintaining structural stability.

A valance is a draft stopping skirt at the bottom of the blind. It helps seal your outdoor space and keep warm air inside, which is valuable in Melbourne winters.

We have installed more than one thousand two hundred blinds across Victoria. Scott manages every measure and install. No shortcuts. No rushed jobs. This is why our blinds last for years, not seasons.
