Zipscreen® outdoor blinds, made in Perth
Wind-tunnel tested to 140km/h with patented z-LOCK side channels. Designed by Zipscreen, manufactured by MIY in Perth, installed by your local distributor.
The toughest blind we make
Independently wind-tunnel tested to 140km/h. Patented z-LOCK keeps the fabric locked into the channel, no gaps and no flap, backed by ISO certification, fire-reaction testing and 10,000 proven open-close cycles.
Patented z-LOCK guides the fabric into slimline side channels for a fully sealed, ultra-smooth finish, holding against sun, wind, rain and insects all year round.
Best for: Exposed alfrescos, coastal homes, cafe and restaurant frontages, anywhere the wind really blows.

The configurations we manufacture
MIY builds Box 120 and Box 160 on the open bracket, plus the entry-level Straight Drop, all to order in the full MIY powdercoat palette. We don't run the full cassette, semi fascia or Box 190.
Box 120
Our slim 120mm headbox. The everyday choice for most residential openings.
Box 160
The larger 160mm box, for wide and tall spans up to 7m by 5m.
Open bracket
The exposed-bracket mount we build on, recess or face fixed, no bulky cassette.
Straight Drop
The entry-level option. A channel-free straight-drop blind for windows, doorways and undercover areas, crank or motor operated.
The technology
Patented engineering you stop noticing once it's up, but feel on every windy day.
Patented z-LOCK
A welded edge runs the fabric into both side channels for a gap-free, fully sealed finish. No flap, no light gaps.
Slimline 125mm box
One of the slimmest square headboxes around, extruded from marine-grade 6061 aluminium for harsh-weather durability.
Dual-bearing idler
Two stainless steel bearings carry the tube, so the blind moves smoothly and holds where you leave it. Tested past 10,000 cycles.
Adjustable side channels
Self-aligning channels give up to 35mm of adjustment per side, for a no-gap finish even on out-of-square openings.

Zipscreen® questions
Who makes Zipscreen® blinds in Perth?
MIY does, in Perth, as an authorised Zipscreen® manufacturer. We build Box 120 and Box 160 on the open bracket, plus the entry-level Straight Drop, to order in the full MIY powdercoat palette.
Can I buy a Zipscreen® direct from MIY?
Not direct. MIY makes them and our authorised distributors measure, quote and fit them. Ask for a quote on this page and we pass it to the distributor nearest you, or use the distributor finder to contact one yourself.
How big can a Zipscreen® be?
Up to 7m wide and 5m high on the Box 160. The slimmer Box 120 suits most residential openings.
How narrow can a Zipscreen® be?
As narrow as 500mm with a crank. A spring or motorised Zipscreen® needs more width for the mechanism, from 550mm to 1,460mm for a spring and 710mm to 955mm for a motor, depending on which one your blind needs. Your distributor checks this when they measure.
Will it hold up in Perth wind?
Zipscreen® has been wind-tunnel tested to 140km/h. The patented z-LOCK edge keeps the fabric locked into both side channels, so there is no flapping and no gap down the sides.
Can a Zipscreen® be motorised?
Yes. It can be run by crank, spring or motor, and fitted into a recess or onto the face of the opening. Hardware carries a 5-year warranty.
