Zip screens provide a track or channel guided system that locks a blind in place as it glides up and down the channels. This tensioned blind can be operated manually or fully motorised creating robust, weather-resistant walls for superior protection from sun, rain and wind, creating the perfect outdoor alfresco room. The zip screen walls are loved by architects and clients alike as they allow comfortable outdoor entertaining without compromising on views or natural light.
The zip screen’s sleek and sophisticated system is also highly sought after as an external window covering. Installed on the outside of the glass, this fully tensioned system shades your glass, preventing the heat of the sun from entering your home.
With strong and secure fastening in a minimalist frame, zip screens are hidden from view in a fully enclosed powder coated cassette when not in use. Used to enclose and provide protection to an alfresco living area, zip screens are available in a range of fabrics and transparencies to suit the outdoor elements. Often used by cafes and the hospitality industry, our clear PVC zip screens provide superior wind and rain protection. Alternatively, our range of mesh provides 95% UV blockout without compromising external visibility, a must for residential outdoor living. The tight fit of the zip screen ensures no billowing from the wind — just a contemporary, seamless fit that elevates the look of your outdoor space.
The sophisticated range of zip screens manufactured by tiptop blinds ensures full integration with your existing or proposed facade design. Using the latest hardware and componentry, tiptop offers external zip screens that are fixed to your external windows and are fully compatible with your facade details. Rectangular powder-coated boxes conceal the latest external shades in your window recess or eaves ensuring they are seamlessly tucked away when not in use.

Zip screens are frequently used around Melbourne in commercial spaces to elevate comfort for guests including cafés, restaurants, function centres, bars and any venue wishing to optimise the outdoor ambience during the day or night. The protection offered by the clear PVC zip screens make them a popular choice for the chilly Melbourne evenings, with the mesh increasingly popular for balconies with west facing water views of the bay and beaches.
At tiptop blinds, our zip screens are created with open-air styling in mind. Choose from our contemporary range of premium fabrics, or select a sheer mesh for full access to the view.
