What is a ZipScreen?

A ZipScreen is an external roller blind with a patented zip-guided track system. Unlike traditional outdoor blinds that flap in the wind, ZipScreens lock into side channels — creating a sealed barrier between your home and the elements. The result: a cooler home, lower energy bills, and outdoor spaces you can use year-round.

ZipScreen outdoor blind mounted on the exterior of a residential window — blocking heat before it hits the glass, preserving the view. Installed by Vivanova.

How the Zip System Works

The secret to ZipScreen's incredible performance lies in its patented hardware design.

z-LOCK™ Technology

Fabric locks into aluminum side channels via a concealed zip mechanism. Zero gaps between fabric and channel means no flapping, no insects, and no light leaks.

Micro-Tensioning

Patented spring head balances the blind perfectly. Stop it at any height — it stays there without manual locks. No "break points" means fewer repairs and a 15-20 year lifespan.

Sealed Barrier

When fully deployed, ZipScreen creates a completely sealed enclosure. Heat, wind, rain, and insects are locked out while your view is preserved.

Engineered for Australia

Designed at Rollease Acmeda's Melbourne Innovation Centre — not a generic European import sized for 800mm windows.

Massive Spans

Spans up to 7 metres wide with a 5-metre drop in a single piece — no joins.

Zero Rust Risk

All-aluminum extruded and cast components — zero exposed steel edges, zero rust risk.

Patented Micro-Tensioning

Spring head stops at any height without manual locks, eliminating the break points where damage occurs in high winds.

Wind Tunnel Tested

Wind tunnel tested at Monash University to 140 km/h. We recommend retracting in winds above 50 km/h to preserve fabric aesthetics.

Engineered for the Elements

Sun & Wind Protection

Zip-lock system holds fabric taut in coastal winds, providing robust protection against the elements.

Insect Barrier

Sealed enclosure keeps mosquitoes, flies, and other pests out of your outdoor living spaces.

All-Season Living

Rain, wind, sun or cool evenings — enjoy year-round outdoor use regardless of the weather.

Easy Control

Choose from spring manual operation or motorised systems with remote, app, voice, and sensor controls.

Coastal-Grade Hardware

For homes near the ocean, we offer 304 stainless steel bracket upgrades. Standard steel brackets from other suppliers rust within 5 years in salt air — ours stay pristine.
