No longer a functional necessity, shading is now an integral part of modern architectural design. Today, external mesh blinds are seamlessly integrated into homes, multi-storey buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities to enhance aesthetics, improve comfort, and support sustainability by optimising a building’s energy efficiency.
However, for multi-storey commercial and residential buildings, the use of external blinds has been restricted by strict fire safety standards. Now, with the development of the Vistaweave 95 and Ziptrak Performance Solution, compliant and insurable external blinds can be incorporated into projects without compromising safety or design integrity, unlocking new possibilities for multi-story blinds and shading.
37 shades to transform any project
Nolan’s Vistaweave 95 mesh collection exemplifies the evolution of modern architecture. Refreshed with 24 carefully selected shades, it now features the largest Colorbond colour range in Australia. This allows designers, builders, and homeowners to seamlessly match blinds with facades, roofing, and fencing, turning a functional element into a design feature that enhances a project’s overall visual appeal.
The first compliant blinds for high-rise
While colour and style provide design freedom, compliance remains critical. For multi-storey and public buildings, traditional approaches to fire regulations have often created challenges for approvals, delaying projects and restricting installation options. Now, the Vistaweave 95 and Ziptrak Performance Solution offer a tested, verified and insurable answer. Rigorously fire-tested to ISO 13785-1:2002 standards and independently validated by IGNIS, Nolan’s Vistaweave 95 mesh safely shrivels without flame spread or dangerous debris, while the Ziptrak aluminium frame remains non-combustible.
This groundbreaking solution is the only external blind system tested and certified to eliminate the need for a 900mm vertical clearance between installations. For architects, designers and specifiers, this means smoother compliance pathways and greater design flexibility. For retailers, fabricators and installers, it provides greater business opportunities. For homeowners, it provides reassurance that external blinds are insurable, blending safety and style.
40 years of proven performance
Vistaweave by Nolan sets the benchmark by not only meeting the highest standards but also removing the barriers that once limited innovation and design. Combining Australia’s largest mesh Colorbond colour range and fire safety in one certified Performance Solution, it’s paving the way for a new era where mesh is an integral and compliant part of architectural design.
