Arundel, Gold Coast, QLD, Thursday, 13 August 2026

The second-generation family business Scorpio Screens & Blinds has introduced its redesigned 2026 line of exterior window treatments and outdoor shading systems in celebration of more than 46 years of local manufacturing excellence in South East Queensland. The new collection, which was specially constructed at their Arundel plant, offers Gold Coast homes, builders, and commercial locations long-lasting defence against afternoon glare, intense coastal rain, and strong tropical UV radiation.

Turn your outdoor space into a four-season retreat
Living along Queensland’s coastline presents unique weather challenges. Unprotected patios, verandas, and glass windows can quickly trap heat indoors and deteriorate under salt-air exposure. Scorpio Screens & Blinds addresses these demands by fabricating precision-engineered track-guided drop blinds, folding arm awnings, and outdoor pivot-arm systems designed to withstand intense environmental conditions while expanding usable outdoor living space.

"Gold Coast outdoor living relies on versatile shading that adapts to changing sub-tropical weather," says the Wood family, founders of Scorpio Screens & Blinds. "Their outdoor awnings and track-guided systems allow families to block up to 95% of solar heat before it reaches their windows, creating a cooler indoor climate and turning open decks into comfortable, four-season entertaining hubs."

Key highlights of the outdoor shading collection
1. Zipscreen track-guided systems: Features side-locking track technology that seals out wind, rain, and insects, converting open alfresco areas into secure outdoor rooms.
2. External pivot & auto-guide awnings: Robust outdoor window coverings designed to reflect heat and lessen the need for internal air conditioning in the summer.
3. Folding arm awnings: Retractable shading structures ideal for wide decks, swimming pool surroundings, and commercial outdoor dining spaces.
4. Sub-tropical durability: Constructed with powder-coated architectural aluminium frames and corrosion-resistant hardware designed for long-term marine performance.
