The Benefits Ziptrak Blinds Offer Over Zipscreen Blinds.
Outdoor entertaining under Alfresco areas or verandas is popular across Adelaide. Offering effective protection from the Sun, outdoor blinds made from shade cloth fabric are widely used in preference to their café style PVC blind cousins.
Quality custom made outdoor shade blinds can be hung using 2 systems throughout Adelaide, one brought to you by Ziptrak and the other from Rollease Acmeda called Zipscreen.
Inviron Blinds use Ziptrak blinds exclusively, which our customers in-turn choose, after comparing the 2 brands.
To help you make an informed decision, we have outlined the facts with regards to the companies, features, advantages and benefits of Ziptrak over Zipscreen below, which made our decision which one of the two was best to offer our customers.
Ziptrak Is South Australian
Just like Inviron Blinds, Ziptrak is proudly South Australian. The partnership means jobs for South Australian’s and the money stays here.
RollEase Inc. is an American company that merged with Victorian company Acmeda Pty Ltd to form Rollease Acmeda based in Melbourne.
Ziptrak’s Outdoor Track-Guided Blind System Was First
For over 30 years, Ziptrak has been manufacturing outdoor Sun shade solutions. Responding to customers wanting a solution that had no gaps and was easy to operate, the company launched the innovative Track-Guided Blind System, which is the most popular external blind system sold throughout Adelaide, South Australia.
During 2015, due to the success of Ziptrak Blinds, Rollease Acmeda launched Zipscreen Version 1. After discovering a number of issues relating to their design, Version 2 was released, but still has issues with the zip sticking or jamming during windy conditions, especially when motorised.
Locking Systems Compared
Ziptrak offer channel locks plus an innovative ‘Centre Locking Mechanism’, which comes free of charge with all outdoor blinds installed by Inviron Blinds. The locking systems can be operated from inside or outside the blind which is a real benefit especially with tricky installations on balconies for example. Another feature of Ziptrak’s locks is they can be setup to lock in multiple positions.
Zipscreen only offer a bottom slide bolt, which can be used inside or outside, but with some situations, it means someone needs to go outside of the room to lock or unlock, before raising or lowering the blind.
Ziptrak Is Cheaper
Price, naturally is an important consideration.
Typically a single outdoor blind installed on the Ziptrak Track Guided Blind system is about $100 cheaper than the system used by Zipscreen, all other factors like the blind material for example being the same.

Why Inviron Blinds Adelaide?
Unlike many outdoor blind companies you’ll come across if you do get multiple quotes, we don’t employ salespeople. An experienced consultant with knowledge across all aspects of manufacturing and installing outdoor blinds will listen to what your needs are, answer your questions and measure up where you’d like your blinds to be. More often than not, a price will not be given, so there won’t be any pressure to ‘sign up’ on the spot. Instead, once accurately calculating the cost, a no-obligation quote will be sent to you with any required drawings and options, so you can make an informed decision alone.
To make it even easier to operate your outdoor blinds, Ziptrak has developed a ‘Centre Lock Release’ system. You’re normally charged extra for this added feature, but Inviron include it ‘Free of Charge‘. In addition, you have the option to have a weather strip added to the underneath of the bottom track to help seal the blind with the floor, eliminating drafts and ways insects can enter. At Inviron Blinds Adelaide, that’s ‘Free of Charge‘ too!
FREE Weather Strip
FREE Centre Locking Mechanism
There are 2 types of outdoor blind material you can select from. Each has benefits over each other, but ultimately it will depend on your own preference and what you are trying to achieve.
- Café blinds can be clear or tinted and provide a solid barrier to wind and rain, plus a crystal clear, unobtrusive view when down thanks to the extruded PVC used.
- Alfresco blinds allow for ventilation and privacy & whilst providing a better level of protection from the Sun than PVC and still provide an excellent level of protection from wind and rain.
Did you know Inviron offer more than just outdoor blinds?
Keep the party going longer outside during Winter with one of our infrared outdoor heaters mounted on a stand using an extension cord, or mounted against a wall, roof or verandah beam that’s hard-wired with a switch.
During Summer, keep cooler with one of our ceiling fans that can come with or without a light, again hard-wired in with a switch conveniently located nearby.
Outdoor infrared heaters are a cost-efficient way to keep you warm because they heat you and not the air, unlike most electric & gas heaters so you’re spending money warming you, not your neighbours.
During hot days and nights, outdoor ceiling fans creating airflow can make all the difference and is especially effective in keeping fly’s & mosquitoes away.
Even though it may be Summer when you install your outdoor blinds, Winter will come around, and vice versa, so setting yourself up for year-round entertaining is worth considering and cheaper too if the work is done by our electricians at the same time!
