Ziptrak, Zipgrip, Folding Arm & Motorised Awnings in Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs | Shade Style Blinds
Why Choose Awnings for Your Home or Business?
The right outdoor awning can transform how you use your home’s outdoor spaces — providing shade in summer, protection from wind and rain, and extending your usable living area year-round. Here is what the Shade Style Blinds awning range delivers.
Ziptrak — The Premium Outdoor Blind System
Ziptrak outdoor blinds use a unique track-guided system to provide smooth, effortless operation and exceptional wind resistance. Available in a wide range of fabrics including clear PVC, mesh, and blockout — Ziptrak systems are ideal for alfresco areas, pergolas, and outdoor entertaining spaces across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. As authorised Ziptrak installers, Shade Style Blinds ensures every system is fitted to manufacturer specifications.
Zipgrip — Heavy-Duty Outdoor Protection
Zipgrip outdoor blind systems deliver superior wind resistance and robust weather protection — engineered for demanding outdoor environments. Perfect for exposed outdoor areas across Kilsyth, Bayswater, Ferntree Gully, Upwey, and the higher-elevation Yarra Ranges suburbs where wind can be a significant factor.
Motorised Awnings — Automated Outdoor Comfort
Add motorisation to your awning system for effortless, one-touch or app-controlled operation. Motorised awnings can also integrate with wind and sun sensors that automatically retract the awning in strong winds — providing both convenience and protection for your investment.
Folding Arm Awnings — Extend Your Outdoor Space
Folding arm awnings provide flexible, retractable shade for patios, decks, and outdoor entertaining areas. With a wide range of fabric colours and patterns, our folding arm awnings can be colour-matched to your home’s exterior for a cohesive, polished look across Boronia, Wantirna, and surrounding suburbs.

Common Questions About Awnings
Q: What makes Ziptrak different from a standard outdoor blind?
A: Ziptrak outdoor blinds use a patented side-track system that guides the blind up and down smoothly without the need for zips, clips, or ties. This delivers effortless operation, superior wind resistance, and a clean aesthetic that standard outdoor blinds cannot match. As authorised Ziptrak installers, Shade Style Blinds ensures every system is installed to exact specifications.
Q: Can awnings withstand the weather conditions in the Yarra Ranges?
A: Yes, when the right product is specified and correctly installed. For higher-elevation suburbs and exposed outdoor areas, we typically recommend Ziptrak or Zipgrip systems, which are engineered for superior wind resistance. Our team will assess your specific location and exposure during the free in-home consultation and recommend the most appropriate system.
Q: Do you offer motorisation for folding arm awnings?
A: Yes. Our folding arm awnings are available with motorisation, including optional wind and sun sensors that can automatically retract the awning in strong winds or at preset times. Contact us to discuss motorisation options for your alfresco area.
