Yes, Zipscreen can withstand strong wind and rain, even with 1% openness fabric. The system is designed to be durable and robust, providing protection against the elements. The 1% openness fabric offers excellent resistance to wind and rain due to its tighter weave, which allows less air and water to pass through. Additionally, the Zipscreen system is engineered with side channels that keep the fabric securely in place, preventing it from being dislodged by strong winds. This makes it a reliable option for outdoor areas that require weather protection.

To keep your Zipscreen in optimal condition, regular cleaning is recommended (at least every 3 months). Use a soft brush to remove dirt and dust from the blind, especially along the side channels to prevent buildup. For aluminium extrusions, clean with a soft cloth using warm soapy water or a small amount of mild detergent if needed. Avoid using oil-based sprays, as they can attract dirt and potentially damage certain fabrics and the side guides.

The fastener is welded onto the fabric and fed into the side rails, allowing it to be securely guided up and down in operation. This unique fastening system provides the stability and protection needed in alfresco blinds.
