Genuine Rollease Acmeda Zipscreen, made and assembled in New Zealand
Rollease Acmeda Zipscreen is a genuine Australian system. The Zipscreen blinds we fit are made and assembled here in New Zealand.
It sits at the top of Rollease Acmeda's range. The side channel is slim, so it looks tidy down each post.
Where possible, we adapt it to suit an existing pergola, veranda or canopy. Still weighing up your options? See all our outdoor blinds and outdoor screens.
How Zipscreen works: the zip in the channel
A fine zip is welded along each edge of the fabric or PVC and runs inside a channel down each side. That holds the screen taut, with no gaps at the edges for wind, rain or glare to get through.
It's the original zip idea, and the zip is what makes a blind Zipscreen. Auckland wind is the test for any outdoor blind, and a screen held along its full edge doesn't flap loose in a breeze.
At the bottom rail, Rollease Acmeda's Ultra-Lock does the locking: pull the blind down to one click and it locks and tensions itself, so the screen sits smooth and tight.
Zipscreen is pulled down by hand, or you can have it motorised. No outdoor blind is storm-proof, so roll it up when strong winds are coming.
Zipscreen or Ziptrak: which one for your deck?
Zipscreen and Ziptrak® are both genuine Australian systems held in a side channel. The difference is what's in the channel.
✓ Zipscreen keeps a slim channel and the fine zip
✓ Ziptrak uses a bigger spline that's very hard to pull out, and it's the sturdiest in high wind
We fit both and show you them side by side at the measure. If one side of your deck takes the weather, the stronger system can go there and Zipscreen on the rest.
We're also listed on Ziptrak Australia's own website as a certified New Zealand installer. Read more on our genuine Ziptrak blinds page, or see our café and bistro blinds if a crank-operated blind suits a side better.
Is it genuine Zipscreen? How to tell it from cheap copies
Plenty of zip screen blinds use the word, and that can explain why one quote is lower.
Some cheap zip screens sold under similar names have blown out in storms. Before you compare prices, ask three questions of any quote:
✓ Does it name Rollease Acmeda, or just say "zip screen"?
✓ Who measures your deck, and who installs it?
✓ If something fails, who comes back to fix it?
At the measure, we put a sample in your hands so you can see the zip for yourself.
Holding a quote that just says zip? Call 09 441 9455 and bring it to the measure. We'll go through it with you.
PVC or mesh, manual or motorised
The right screen depends on how you use the deck:
✓ Clear PVC is waterproof, so you keep the view and keep the rain off
✓ Tinted PVC takes the edge off the glare
✓ Mesh filters the sun, gives privacy from the neighbours and lets some air move through it, in 1% and 5% openness ranges in many colours
You can mix PVC and mesh on one deck. Motorisation suits mesh screens rather than PVC, so if you'd like a motor on a side, mesh is the one for it.
Which screen goes where is far easier to decide on your own deck, so we bring the samples to you.
Measured by an owner, installed by our own team
David or Roman measures every outdoor blind we fit, and Roman leads every install with our own team. We don't give prices from sizes, because only a measured quote is one you can compare properly.
The free measure covers:
✓ Your posts, walls, gutters and where the wind comes round the house
✓ PVC or mesh, manual or motorised, for each side
✓ Samples and mesh swatches on your deck, in your own light
✓ A clear quote you can check line by line
Our showroom is by appointment, so we bring the showroom to you. It's a relaxed chat on your deck, and you decide in your own time.
We fit Zipscreen across Auckland, with the North Shore, West Auckland and the Hibiscus Coast as our focus, plus East Auckland and north up to Mangawhai. The free measure and quote is for the Auckland area.
How long does Zipscreen take?
Lead times move with the season:
✓ Main season, spring and summer: 4 to 5 weeks from deposit to install
✓ Off season: a little less
✓ Before Christmas: longer
Tell us your date at the measure, and we'll confirm your timeframe with the quote.
Our 2-year warranty
Genuine systems sit at the top of the market and are built for 10 years and more. On every Zipscreen we fit, our warranty covers the first two years in full, parts and labour, with no call-out fee.
If something goes wrong, we come and fix it. The details are on our 2-year warranty page, and we offer follow-up maintenance and servicing after that.
What our customers say about their outdoor blinds
We have 260+ five-star Google reviews, and all of our outdoor screen reviews are five stars. The following three don't name Zipscreen, but they show what you get on any outdoor blind from us: an owner on the measure, a quote you can follow and our own team on the install.
Iain, on the quote:
"At the outset the quote was thorough (and fair - all inclusive). Ahead of time I understood all aspects of the job as David the owner did the site review/quote and is knowledgeable about all aspects of products and design." (Iain, February 2022)
Sameer, on the owners doing the work:
"Rollerflex recently installed two cafe blinds and one Ziptrak blind at my home. David promptly responded to my inquiry, providing a swift measurement and quote. The installation team, David and Roman, were professional and resourceful in addressing a specific challenge posed by my existing outdoor structure." (Sameer, November 2024)
Robert, on the result:
"We have just had Rollerflex install our side screens to our pagoda and it has transformed the area immensely ... We look forward to many happy years of entertaining guests and family in our new outdoor area." (Robert, June 2021)

Zipscreen questions
What is Zipscreen and who makes it?
Zipscreen is Rollease Acmeda's top-range outdoor blind, a genuine Australian system with a fine zip along each edge held in a side channel. The Zipscreen we fit is made and assembled here in New Zealand.
Zipscreen or Ziptrak: what is the difference?
Both are genuine Australian systems held in a side channel. Zipscreen uses a fine zip in a slim channel, while Ziptrak uses a bigger spline and is the sturdiest in high wind. We'll show you both side by side at the measure.
Is it genuine Rollease Acmeda Zipscreen?
Yes, every Zipscreen we fit is the genuine Rollease Acmeda product. When we come to measure, we bring a sample so you can see the zip in the channel.
Are cheaper zip screens from other suppliers the same thing?
No. Some sold under similar names have blown out in storms, so look for Rollease Acmeda on a quote before you weigh up the price.
Can Zipscreen be motorised?
Yes. Motors suit mesh screens best, so if you want a motor on a side, we'll suggest mesh there and talk it through at the measure.
How long does Zipscreen take?
In spring and summer we install 4 to 5 weeks from deposit, and a little sooner off season. Before Christmas it takes longer, so tell us your date when we measure.
Can you give me a price from my deck sizes?
We'd rather not guess, because a guess won't help you compare quotes. One of the owners measures your deck in person, free in the Auckland area, and you get a quote you can check line by line.
What warranty do you give?
Two years full, parts and labour, with no call-out fee. If something goes wrong in that time, we come and fix it.
