Block heat, wind & rain with custom outdoor solutions
Benefits of Outdoor Blinds
Outdoor blinds are a smart investment for improving comfort, functionality, and energy efficiency in your home. Here are some of the key benefits:
Reduce Heat & Lower Energy Bills
Outdoor blinds help block heat before it reaches your windows, keeping your home cooler in summer and reducing the need for air conditioning.
Create a Comfortable Outdoor Living Space
Enclose your alfresco, patio, or verandah to create a usable space all year round—protected from sun, wind, and light rain.
Improve Privacy
Enjoy greater privacy without sacrificing natural light, making outdoor blinds ideal for homes in built-up areas across Camden, Narellan, and surrounding suburbs.
Protect Against Sun & Weather
Outdoor blinds provide protection from harsh UV rays, helping to prevent fading of furniture while also shielding your outdoor areas from the elements.
Enhance Your Home’s Appearance
With a wide range of fabrics, colours, and styles available, outdoor blinds can complement your home’s design and add a modern, finished look.
Flexible Operation Options
Choose from manual operation or upgrade to motorised outdoor blinds for effortless control with a remote, smartphone, or smart home system.
Zipscreen Awnings (Acmeda)
Zipscreen Awnings – Premium Outdoor Blinds for Year-Round Comfort
Zipscreen awnings are a premium outdoor blind solution, designed to make your alfresco area comfortable and usable all year round—while still maintaining your view outside.
Ideal for homes across Narellan, Camden, and the wider Macarthur and Wollondilly regions, Zipscreen awnings provide excellent protection from sun, wind, and light weather conditions without compromising on style.
Designed for Performance & Clean Finish
Zipscreen awnings feature a fully enclosed track system, with a neat and streamlined bottom rail that runs smoothly within side channels—creating a clean, modern look compared to other systems on the market.
Available in a wide range of fabrics and colours, you can also customise the top cassette and hardware to perfectly match your home’s exterior.
Fabric Options to Suit Your Needs
Choose from a variety of high-quality fabrics, including:
Mesh (Outlook Mode 95) – the most popular option, offering privacy, glare reduction, and airflow while maintaining your view
Clear PVC – ideal for weather protection while keeping your space fully enclosed
Acrylic fabrics – providing shade with a softer, traditional look
Flexible Sizes & Operation
Zipscreen awnings can be custom made up to 5.8 metres wide in a single span, or up to 7 metres wide with the Zipscreen Extreme system—making them ideal for larger outdoor areas.
Operation options include:
Spring operation
Crank control
Motorisation with Somfy or Acmeda Automate systems
Motorised options allow for easy control via remote, smartphone, or smart home integration.
Alternative Options for Open Areas
Depending on your space, a Zipscreen system may not always be suitable—particularly where side channels cannot be installed.
In these situations, we can recommend alternative straight drop awning options such as the Acmeda Veue Wire Guide Awning or Acmeda Veue Straight Drop Awning, which are ideal for areas where a guided track system isn’t practical.
