FAQs
Can Zipscreen awnings keep out insects?
Yes, Zipscreen awnings are designed with insect protection in mind. The patented z-LOCK side channel system creates a secure seal along the edges of the fabric, leaving virtually no gaps for insects to enter. The fine mesh fabric is an additional barrier, keeping out flies and mosquitoes while allowing airflow and light to filter through. It’s an ideal solution to enjoy your patio, balcony, or alfresco area in the evenings without constantly swatting bugs.
Do you offer custom sizes?
Definitely, every Zipscreen awning we install is made to measure. We take detailed measurements of your space to ensure a seamless fit, even in areas with uneven surfaces or unusual shapes. Whether you’re covering a small window, a large outdoor entertaining area, or multiple adjoining spaces, we can tailor the dimensions, fabric, and control options to suit your needs. This flexibility means your awnings look like they belong and perform exactly as they should.
Can I still see through a Zipscreen awning?
Yes, you can. One of the great advantages of Zipscreen awnings is that they offer privacy and shade without blocking your view. The mesh fabrics are engineered to reduce glare and heat while maintaining visibility from the inside out. During the day, you’ll enjoy a clear view of your garden, pool, or ocean horizon while passers-by can’t see in. It’s smart to keep your outdoor area comfortable and private without feeling closed off.
Are Zipscreen awnings suitable for coastal areas like Ballina?
Absolutely. Zipscreen awnings are built to handle harsh coastal conditions. The frames are made from high-grade aluminium that resists rust and corrosion, and the components are powder-coated for added protection against salt air. The fabric options are UV-resistant, mould-resistant, and designed to withstand strong winds. Combined with the z-LOCK system, they are perfect for seaside homes in Ballina, where durability is just as important as style. Regular cleaning to remove salt build-up will help extend the life of your awnings even further.
How long does awning installation take?
Most Zipscreen awning installations can be completed within a few hours to a single day, depending on how many awnings are being fitted and the complexity of your site. We start with a detailed inspection and measurement to ensure everything goes smoothly on installation. Larger or motorised systems may take longer, especially if electrical work is required. We always aim to schedule installation at a time that suits you and keep any disruption to a minimum, so you can start enjoying your new awnings in Ballina as soon as possible.
