Zipscreen External Blinds Cairns
Track-guided external blinds that stay put in the wind, block heat before it reaches the glass and turn a patio into a usable room.
Zipscreen is the single most effective thing you can do about heat on a Far North Queensland house, because it stops the sun outside the glass instead of managing it once it is already inside.
The fabric is held in a side track, so it does not flap or blow out like a rope-and-pulley blind. That makes it practical on exposed patios and upper levels where ordinary outdoor blinds do not last.
Fabrics run from open mesh that keeps the view and the breeze through to blockout for wind and rain protection. Motorised operation with sun and wind sensors is available.
