Drop Down And Zip Screen Awnings
Drop Down and Zip Screen Awnings are two sleek and functional solutions designed to enhance comfort and privacy across outdoor and indoor spaces. Both styles provide vertical shading and protection, helping to block heat, glare, wind, and UV rays — while offering a clean, modern aesthetic.
Drop down awnings operate with a simple vertical fall, secured at the bottom with straps or clips. They are ideal for straightforward shade and privacy where side retention is not necessary.
Zip Screen Awnings, on the other hand, feature a side retention system where the fabric is locked into side channels, preventing flapping and offering superior resistance against wind, insects, and debris. With a neater finish and motorisation options, Zip Screens are a premium upgrade for outdoor areas exposed to the elements.
Suitable Spaces for Drop Down and Zip Screen
Balconies and Patios: Add shade and privacy while enjoying airflow.
Alfresco Areas: Create a semi-enclosed outdoor room that’s protected from the sun, wind, and insects.
Pergolas & Outdoor Kitchens: Maintain ventilation while shielding from heat and glare.
Why choose
Sun & UV Protection: Blocks harsh rays and heat from entering your space.
Wind & Rain Resistance: Especially with Zip Screens, the side retention system offers better performance in challenging weather.
Privacy Without Darkness: Creates a visual barrier from outside without shutting out natural light.
Insect Control: Zip Screen awnings double as insect barriers when fully lowered and zipped in place.
Custom Operation: Available in manual crank or motorised versions with remote or smart home integration.
Maintenance
Regular Cleaning: Hose down with water or use a mild soap solution and soft cloth to remove dirt and debris. Always allow the fabric to fully dry before rolling up.
Inspect Mechanisms: Periodically check pulleys, cranks, and motors for wear and ensure smooth operation.
Zip Care (Zip Screens only): Keep the side channels clean and free of obstruction for smooth zipping and unzipping.
Motor Servicing (if applicable): Ensure motorised units are inspected annually for optimal performance.
