The patented z-LOCK™ system ensures a secure, gap-free seal between the fabric and side channels. This provides superior protection against wind, rain, and insects while keeping the fabric taut and smooth, even in larger installations.

The z-LOCK™ system ensures the fabric remains securely within the side channels, creating a gap-free seal. This protects against sun, wind, rain, and insects while maintaining a taut, smooth finish. The wider you go in the Zipscreen blind, say wider than 3m, you’ll notice a slight ‘V’ shape on the base bar of the blind. This is normal for Zipscreen but avoid with eZIP.

Zipscreen features patented z-LOCK™ technology, which creates a secure, gap-free seal between the fabric and side channels. This ensures superior protection from sun, wind, rain, and insects while maintaining a smooth, taut finish.

While Zipscreen blinds are designed to be durable and reliable, like any outdoor system, they require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Cleaning the fabric and checking the z-LOCK™ system for debris can help prevent operational issues. Using a simple garden hose to clean out the side tracks and top roll will work wonders for keeping this operation smooth.

Whilst marketing material online suggests high wind tolerance, reality differs. From experience, the Aurora Team have seen many many service calls to homeowners over the years to ‘pop’ the fabric back inside the channels. This is why we recommend not having the Zipscreen blind down with winds greater than 25 km/h, and installing a cost effective and reliable wind sensor. Alternatively, look to the Alpha M or eZIP products which provide much much higher wind tolerance.
