Why External Zip Screens?
Track-Guided Seal
A continuous spline slides inside extruded aluminium tracks, creating a gap-free seal that keeps out wind, rain, dust, and insects.
Spring-Balanced Operation
The patented spring-balanced system makes zips, cords, and wires redundant. Leave the blind at any height — it stays put.
Wind & Weather Rated
Patented grip design holds tight to vertical tracks even in strong winds. Locking mechanisms secure blinds when fully lowered.
Motorised Options
Available in spring-assisted manual, motorised remote control, or battery-powered operation for convenient automation.
Multiple Fabric Options
Choose from woven sunscreen mesh (varying transparency levels), clear PVC, or tinted PVC to suit your application.
Fire Safety Certified
The only Australian blind system certified for multi-storey balconies, meeting ISO 13785-1:2002 fire safety standards.
