Wollongong Zipscreen
At Phoenix Blinds in Wollongong, we install Zipscreen blinds that transform patios, balconies and alfresco areas into usable spaces all year round. These modern outdoor blinds act like a barrier against wind, sun, rain and insects, all while maintaining a sleek, built-in look.
Unlike traditional outdoor blinds that flap or sag, Zipscreens are tensioned within side channels, so they stay taut and in place, even in windy conditions. They’re ideal for homeowners who want to create a more private, sheltered and stylish outdoor area without building permanent walls or enclosures. Want to turn your patio into an all-weather retreat? Call us on (02) 4257 5822 to book your free measure and quote.
Outdoor Living, All Year Round
Zipscreen blinds are one of the most practical upgrades you can make to an outdoor area—especially here in Wollongong, where we experience coastal breezes, strong sun and everything in between. With Zipscreen, you get protection without sacrificing the view or airflow. You can choose from a wide range of mesh fabrics to suit your privacy and light-filtering preferences, and the system is available in manual crank, spring, or motorised operation.
They’re custom-built to suit your space, with powder-coated aluminium components and UV-stabilised fabrics for long-term durability. We’ve installed Zipscreens in everything from small courtyard balconies to large outdoor kitchens and pergolas. The result is always the same—more comfort, more usability, and more time spent enjoying your outdoor space. Let’s talk about how Zipscreen can help you get the most out of your backyard or alfresco area.
Zipscreen FAQs
What is a Zipscreen and how does it work?
A Zipscreen is an external blind system designed to enclose outdoor areas while protecting against sun, wind, rain and insects. It works by using a guided track system that holds the fabric securely in place, preventing flapping or gaps. Unlike loose hanging blinds, Zipscreens stay taut and create a streamlined appearance, functioning more like a soft outdoor wall than a typical blind. They can be operated manually or motorised for convenience, making them ideal for modern alfresco living.
Can Zipscreen blinds be used in windy areas?
Yes, Zipscreen blinds are designed specifically to perform well in windy conditions. The fabric is tensioned within slim, discreet side channels, which helps prevent movement and sagging during breezy weather. While no blind system is completely storm-proof, Zipscreens are a great option for exposed patios or balconies where standard outdoor blinds might struggle. For coastal or elevated homes, they provide a secure and tidy finish that handles frequent gusts far better than traditional options.
Do Zipscreens offer privacy and UV protection?
Zipscreens are excellent for both privacy and UV protection. The mesh fabrics used in Zipscreen systems come in various openness levels—meaning you can choose how much visibility and light filtering you want. They reduce glare and block up to 99% of UV rays, helping to protect outdoor furniture and flooring while keeping the area cooler. At the same time, they allow airflow and outward visibility, so you don’t feel boxed in.
