1. May I know what’s the difference between ZipScreen and outdoor blinds? Are they the same?
Answer: Both are known as external blinds. However, the functions are different. ZipScreen is also known as balcony screen as it helps to reduce rainwater, withstand strong wind, block out UV Rays, reduce sun glare and heat. Outdoor blind is more like outdoor shade, it can reduce the sun glare and provide you necessary privacy. 

ZipScreen has a hidden Z-lock fastening system that is why it can fully enclose your balcony. However, the normal outdoor blinds has a pair of cable side guides at both sides, it can’t fully enclose as there will be a gap. To make it clear, you may refer to the image below.
