Zip Screens/Awnings

External shade solutions including zip screens and awnings that provide excellent sun protection, privacy, weather protection, and energy efficiency.

Complete outdoor shade — screens and awnings in one place

We supply and install both zip screens and awnings, giving you everything you need to shade, shelter and protect your outdoor living spaces. Zip screens lock into side channels for a wind-resistant, gap-free screen over patios and alfresco areas, while our awnings — available in folding arm, fixed and retractable styles — shade windows, entries and entertaining areas. We custom-make and install both throughout Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and the Southern Highlands, so you can get the right solution for every opening from a single local supplier.

Zip screens: seal out wind, sun and insects

The zip-locking fabric runs in a track down each side, sealing the edges so there are no gaps flapping in the wind. That makes zip screens ideal for exposed coastal patios where standard blinds struggle, keeping sun, glare, insects and light rain out while letting breezes through on comfortable days. Available in a range of mesh transparencies so you choose how much view to keep.

Awnings: shade your windows and outdoor spaces

Our folding arm awnings extend over patios and alfresco areas and retract out of sight when not needed. Fixed and canopy awnings provide permanent shade over windows and entries, reducing heat and glare inside the home before the sun ever hits the glass. Every awning is custom-made in the fabric, colour and size that suits your home.

Manual or motorised, with smart sensors

Both zip screens and awnings are available with manual or motorised operation, including remote control and smart-home integration. Add wind sensors that automatically retract your awning or raise your screens when the breeze picks up, keeping them protected and your home comfortable without any effort.

Built for the coast, locally installed

We use durable, weather-resistant frames and fabrics designed to handle the Illawarra's sun, wind and salt air. Every screen and awning is measured, made and installed by our own local team, starting with a free on-site consultation and quote.

What's the difference between a zip screen and a standard outdoor blind?

Zip screens run in a zipped side track that seals both edges, making them much more wind-resistant and gap-free than standard outdoor blinds — ideal for exposed or windy patios.

What types of awnings do you offer?

We offer folding arm awnings for patios and alfresco areas, fixed and canopy awnings for windows and entries, and retractable styles, all in a wide range of fabrics and colours.

Can zip screens and awnings be motorised?

Yes. Both can be motorised with remote control, and wind or sun sensors can be added for automatic operation.

Are these products suitable for coastal homes?

Yes. We use weather-resistant frames and fabrics built for sun, wind and salt air — important in the Illawarra's coastal conditions.
