Awnings & Screens
Zip Screen Awnings
Zipscreen Awnings are the Rolls Royce of awnings.
Motorised, crank or spring balance controlled, these awnings can turn your alfresco into an outdoor room with the push of a button. With the right selection of fabrics these awnings can repel water and insects.
Qualiblind only uses licensed Acmeda Zipscreens as they are by far the best zip tracked styled awning available. These awnings are best used for alfrescos, pergolas, windows and over doors. It is a very versatile awning to protect you and the home from the sun and weather.

Trust Us for Outdoor Awnings Installations
The Australian climate certainly promotes an outdoor lifestyle. When you think about hosting guests at your home, it usually entails entertaining in the garden while enjoying a barbecue. However, the hot sun can sometimes be too harsh for entertaining people, so you wouldn’t go wrong with outdoor awnings. Qualiblind is a reputable company that can install several coverings, including zip screen awnings. These screens provide enough protection from the elements and create the ideal conditions for guests to enjoy.
Reasons to Install Retractable Outdoor Awnings
Homeowners are always searching for new ways to upgrade their properties and maximise the available space. A retractable privacy screen makes outdoor entertaining convenient, and you can welcome guests into your home where the weather conditions won’t affect your enjoyment. If you’re still thinking about installing these coverings in your home, consider the fundamental reasons you need to have them.
While enjoying the sunlight for a summer tan is enjoyable, too much exposure can lead to serious problems. Furthermore, your guests may not appreciate being out in the sun while visiting you. A retractable overhead awning allows you to create a spot of shade that offers your family and guests some form of protection from the sun’s UV rays without having to escape indoors.
Naturally, the moment you take action to improve the features of your home, the value immediately increases. When the time comes for you to place the property on the market, you can be confident of fetching a reasonable price by installing this feature.
Speaking of money, you can save some when you have an auto lock awning in front of a room that receives plenty of sunshine in the summer instead of using fans or air conditioners. Auto lock awnings are economical, robust and offer great heat and cold protection.
How To Get More Value from Motorised Awnings
Whenever you renovate or upgrade your property; you expect the changes to last long. The same is valid for installing screen awnings - nobody does it with the expectation to replace them within a few years. However, to ensure that it lasts several years, you can take steps to obtain maximum value from screen awnings.
Clean your screen awnings regularly by establishing a proper routine. We suggest cleaning them at least once a month to remove dirt, debris, and stains. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a garden hose and soft bristle brush to remove them. Following this practice ensures that the material remains in excellent condition.
To increase the longevity of your screen awnings, you should pay attention to the rails by lubricating them occasionally. For zip screen awnings, roll the screen up and spray the rails from the top to the middle with a silicone spray. Moving the screen up and down should ensure the silicone is evenly spread throughout the rails, adding more years to the awnings.
If you’re planning on planting small trees or vines in your garden, ensure that they’re at a safe distance away from your screen awnings. Over time, creeping plants can latch onto the awning material, affecting its free opening and closing movement. Additionally, some vegetation release chemicals that could affect the appearance of the awning material if it’s in proximity.
