Transform Your Outdoor Space into a Cozy Oasis With Outdoor Blinds from SunGuard

Our Outdoor Drop Down Blinds Range

Cafe Blind, also known as Omni Screen, offers a versatile solution for outdoor spaces. Operated with a crank handle, it features floor-level stainless steel anchors for stability. Omni Screens can be automated for added convenience in all types of skins whether it’s mesh, canvas or clear PVC. Upgradeable to include aluminium side channels with sliding locks, these blinds come in white, black, and silver pearl standard powder coating options. Top pelmets and flashings are available for a polished finish. Installation is a breeze with Omni Screens, mounted on two brackets that can be mounted onto the wall, beam, or soffit. Similar to a simple interior roller blind, Omni is ideal for self-installation, making it a convenient choice for DIY enthusiasts.

Ziptrak® blinds, an Australian design manufactured in NZ, boast a sophisticated spring mechanism and high-quality side tracks. With no gaps between fabric and side posts, they offer up to 99% wind and waterproofing with clear, tinted or opaque PVC material. Tested to withstand winds of up to 130-180 kph, Ziptrak® is renowned for its durability. Mesh fabric screens can be automated, and hardware can be powder-coated to any Dulux® range colour. Optional cast flashing or a streamline extruded pelmet provides a tidy finish at the top. Standard Ziptrak® hardware colours include White, Black, Ironsand, Grey Friars or customize with Dulux® powder coating.
