ZIP Screen Blinds for Windows & Pergolas
ZIP Screen Blinds in Laois
Made-to-measure ZIP blinds for windows, patios and pergolas. Designed for shade, privacy, wind protection and insect control — fitted by your local specialist in Portarlington.
What Are They
What Are ZIP Screen Blinds?
ZIP screen blinds are roller blinds where the fabric is held inside side guide rails. This keeps the screen stable, neat and secure — even in exposed areas where standard blinds can move too much in the wind.
They are commonly used on external windows, large glass doors, patios and pergolas. Depending on the setup, they can provide shade, privacy, insect protection and a more comfortable outdoor space.
Wind resistance depends on the system, size, installation and conditions. Some ZIP systems are tested up to 118 km/h.
Where They Fit
Perfect for Pergolas, Patios & Large Windows
Pergola Side Screens
Turn an open pergola into a more usable outdoor space. ZIP screens can work as side walls, helping to reduce wind, glare and insects while keeping the area light and open.
Large Glass Doors
Control strong sunlight and improve privacy on large patio doors, garden rooms and wide glazing without heavy curtains or bulky coverings.
External Window Shading
Reduce heat and glare before the sun reaches the glass. External screens are ideal for exposed windows, home offices, kitchens and living areas.
