Ziptrak® Blinds Melbourne

Enhance your outdoor space with All Weather Blinds' stylish and functional Ziptrak blinds Melbourne homes and businesses have trusted for years.

Melbourne's Ziptrak® Blinds Specialists

With Melbourne's weather being wholly unpredictable at even the best of times, we as homeowners often find ourselves interacting with our blinds far more than you'd expect. So, naturally, it's important to have outdoor blinds that are really going to do the job of keeping you safe from the sun's rays whilst still letting you enjoy the natural light when it suits you.

Ziptrak® Blinds: The Perfect Choice For Sun and Shade

Ziptrak® blinds guard against high winds, heat and sun as well as UV rays, and cold weather allowing you to enjoy the Australian outdoors all year round.

Operating blinds can be a cumbersome task, however, the unique Ziptrak® track guided blind system makes the process as simple as possible. Ziptrak® blinds open or close in seconds and can be stopped and set in any intermediate position you desire.

The blind can be secured and locked in the down position to guard against high winds and UV with no zippers or buckles required, it’s that simple. We also offer remote control operated Ziptrak blinds that Melbourne's residents and businesses can add on for that extra touch of luxury and added convenience.

Creating a Year-Round Outdoor Room

One of the biggest reasons Melbourne homeowners invest in Ziptrak blinds is to turn an underused patio, deck or alfresco area into a genuine extra room. Rather than a space that only gets used on the handful of mild, still days each month, an enclosed area with Ziptrak blinds fitted becomes somewhere you can sit comfortably whether it is thirty-five degrees or barely ten. Paired with outdoor heating in the cooler months and a shade or mesh fabric in summer, the same space can host breakfast, work from home days, family dinners and weekend gatherings across every season.

Choosing Colours and Fabrics to Suit Your Home

Ziptrak blinds are available in a wide range of PVC and mesh colours and finishes, and the aluminium track and pelmet componentry can be powder coated to match your existing window frames, gutters or fencing. Choosing a colour that blends with the rest of your home’s exterior helps the blinds sit naturally into the architecture rather than looking like an obvious addition. For homes with a lot of northern or western sun exposure, a darker mesh can reduce glare significantly while still allowing airflow, while clear PVC suits homes prioritising natural light and uninterrupted views.

Ziptrak Blinds for Verandahs, Pergolas and Alfresco Areas

Whether you have an existing pergola, a verandah running the length of your home or a freestanding alfresco structure, Ziptrak blinds can be fitted to most existing frames without major structural changes. Because the system is track-guided rather than reliant on tension alone, it performs well even on wider spans or unusually shaped openings, and pelmets can be built to sit flush against timber, steel or masonry structures for a tidy, integrated finish.

Ziptrak Blinds Compared to Traditional Awnings

Homeowners weighing up Ziptrak blinds against a traditional fixed or folding arm awning should consider that Ziptrak blinds fully enclose a space on all sides rather than simply providing overhead shade. This means better protection from driving rain, wind and low angle sun that an overhead awning alone cannot block. Many Melbourne homes use both together, an awning for shade over a broader area and Ziptrak blinds to seal in a specific zone such as a dining or lounge space.

Servicing Melbourne and Surrounding Suburbs

All Weather Blinds manufactures on-site and installs Ziptrak blinds across greater Melbourne, from inner-city terraces and townhouses through to larger homes in the outer suburbs. Wherever you are located, our team can assess your space, recommend the right fabric and control option, and manage the full process from measure to installation.

Commercial Ziptrak Blinds for Melbourne Businesses

Melbourne business owners are under constant pressure to make the most of every square metre of trading space, and outdoor areas are no exception. Commercial Ziptrak blinds give hospitality venues, retail outlets, offices and function spaces a practical way to turn an exposed outdoor area into usable trading space all year round, whatever Melbourne’s weather decides to do on any given day.

Hospitality and alfresco dining

For cafes, restaurants, pubs and function venues, an enclosed alfresco area often means extra covers and extra revenue on days that would otherwise be lost to wind, rain or harsh sun. Ziptrak blinds seal the space from floor to ceiling with no gaps at the sides, so heaters work harder for longer and patrons stay comfortable regardless of the season. Because the blind surface sits flat and taut in its track, it also doubles as a clean, professional backdrop for branded signage, letting your venue promote itself to passing foot traffic while providing shade and shelter.    

Retail frontages and shopfronts

Retailers with outdoor display areas, market-style frontages or undercover walkways can use Ziptrak blinds to protect stock, signage and customers from sun damage, wind and sudden downpours. Because the blinds retract cleanly out of sight when not needed, shopfronts keep their full street presence and sightlines during trading hours, then close down quickly and securely after close.

Offices, gyms and function centres

Outdoor breakout areas, gym training zones and function or event spaces benefit from the same track guided system used in high-end residential installs. Ziptrak blinds can be set and locked in any position, so staff and event organisers get precise control over airflow, light and privacy without fiddling with ropes, straps or buckles.

Built for commercial demands

Commercial sites often mean larger spans, higher foot traffic and less tolerance for downtime. Our commercial Ziptrak blinds are manufactured on-site in Melbourne using marine-grade aluminium, powder-coated to match your brand or building colour scheme, along with top-grade PVC and mesh fabrics that stand up to constant use. Spans of up to six metres can be achieved before a dividing post is required, and every commercial installation is backed by our five year warranty on workmanship, components and materials.

Working with your business

Every commercial project starts with a site assessment so we understand foot traffic patterns, existing structures, council or strata requirements and your operating hours. From there, we recommend the right fabric, control option (manual or motorised) and pelmet configuration to suit your venue, then schedule installation to minimise disruption to your trading day.

Ziptrak Blinds Frequently Asked Questions

Depending on size of the opening, the control option and fabric type, Ziptrak blinds can cost between $1000-$3000.
Ziptrak blinds operate on a spring-balanced patented track guided blind system, which secures your chosen fabric into the vertical tracks on each side of the blind. There are no cords, pulleys or ropes as Ziptrak blinds are opened or closed manually by a user’s hand or via a remote control for motorised operation.
The fabric in which you choose to use for your Ziptrak blind depends on what you wish to achieve with the blind and how you want to use your area. If you do not require any sun, glare or privacy protection, and wish to block wind and rain whilst maintaining light in the area, a clear or smoke-tint may offer you best results. If your area requires shading from sun, as well as wind and rain, a mesh may be best suited to your project. 100% or 99% blockout mesh options paired with a Ziptrak blind are a modern alternative to traditional canvas awnings over windows as they provide excellent sun, glare and heat protection well as privacy.
Use a soft cloth and cold soapy water to clean the PVC Ziptrak blinds. Allow the blind to dry before rolling it up. Do not use high-pressure hoses, window cleaning detergents or other chemicals to clean the blind. Ensure you are following the manufacturer’s instructions on how to best maintain your specific PVC.
For the most effective Ziptrak blind installation that will provide premium performance and fit seamlessly into your home, it is best to hire a professional and qualified blind installer. Having your Ziptrak blinds installed by an outdoor blinds specialist will circumvent any potential faults or risks involved with installation or operation. All Weather Blinds also offers warranty terms with installation that would not be offered with any DIY.
Ziptrak blinds operate via either spring-loaded pulldown/push-up operation, or via remote controlled motorisation. This is compared to traditional Cafe-Style blinds that are either crank operated or zip-down. The Ziptrak side channel and track allows for easy operation, minimal movement or rattling in winds and superior weather protection compared to traditional cafe-style blinds. The ease of use and the neat finish of a slim side track and streamlined pelmet box of Ziptrak blinds offer itself to high-end residential and commercial settings alike. Traditional cafe-blinds will often employ a rope and pulley system or a crank operated system for raising and lowering which do not provide as clean of finish and are much more difficult and cumbersome to use.
Depending on the area and the location, Ziptrak blinds can span up to 6.0metres before requiring a post to divide a span.
With multiple options in terms of fabrics, and with marine-grade hardware and expert installation, Ziptrak blinds have the ability to transform any area into a versatile, all-season space. With Melbourne’s constantly changing climate, Ziptraks can be fitted with Clear PVC for complete wind and rain protection, or with a woven-mesh to block the majority of wind and rain on inclement days , whilst offering sun and glare protection on warm days. The ability to easily and neatly retract the blinds when not required also provides versatility to any Melbourne outdoor area.
The operation of your Ziptrak blinds is dependant on a number of factors including accessibility, functionality and budget. If you are wanting to cover windows or enclose an area to protect from the sunlight and you are going to raise and lower the blinds multiple times a day motoirsed may provide an added level of ease. If the area is difficult to access due to pool fencing, height or location of the blinds then a motorised operation may also suit you best. The cost of motors along with electrician and the ease to which power may be sourced to run your blinds can also influence the decision. Most installation situations will be achievable with a manual blind operation option and is not a compromise of quality or ease of use.
When our expert installers have completed the installation of your blind, you are provided with a 5 year complete warranty on workmanship, components, fabrics, materials and fixings. Our team will also provide you a User Guide that details the proper care and maintenance required to ensure your Ziptrak blinds far exceed the 5 year warranty. Ziptrak blinds are capable of effective operation up to and over 20 years if properly maintained. Maintenance of Ziptrak blinds is very easy and detailed in our User Guide.
