Celebrating a longstanding partnership

“Over the last few years Dalekit has been a front runner in the manufacture of the Zipscreen Side Retention system from Rollease Acmeda,” Dalekit General Manager Joanne de Silva – General Manager tells WFA.

“This versatile system comes with three control options making it the most user friendly, customer pleasing and fitter friendly system on the market today. 

“The system’s modern square design has been a frontrunner to almost every competitor in the market and Rollease Acmeda continues to create new features regularly to maintain the system as one of the leaders in the field.

“The driving force of the retail market is still the strong requirement to close in the modern homes designed with outdoor alfresco areas,” says Da Silva. “The Zipscreen uniquely closes this area off with its super strong and adjustable design allowing the homeowner to keep out the sun, the cold, strong winds rain and the ever present bugs. 

“The range of control options keeps the system within the budget of all customers whilst allowing for maximum versatility. The Dalekit difference comes about in our unique understanding of the product as a whole and our objective of improving an already excellent system.” 

“Dalekit’s passion to cater to our customers’ requirements has led us down the path of many unique features and custom touches. One of our most recent additions to the Zipscreen stable, driven by our strong belief in quicker turnaround times, was the decision to carry and maintain 13 colours as standard.” 

“Our 7000 square metre factory in Sydney’s North Western growth region puts us in a great position to manufacture bulk product and quickly. Our specialist crew of sales staff, tech support, customer service and factory personnel are all highly trained in all things awnings and we are constantly seeking to learn and improve.”

“The Zipscreen is not the only product that utilises the classic square design, as Dalekit offers the wire guide system as well as the drop blind. These are also available in the 13 standard colours Dalekit along with our Hybrid Pivot arm unit using the half panel front cover. This clean, neat system is offered with arms and front rails in silver, black and white.

“Dalekit’s journey with Zipscreen has been an absolute pleasure; we continue to learn and improve our systems every day, making it far from a boring trip. We bring that passion for our products to the forefront of everything we do as a business and I believe it is the reason we have been as successful as we are to date. 

“In recent times we have most assuredly had our share of difficulties selling this wonderful product range. Starting with bush fires, then floods, then Covid, then floods, then Covid then the fallout of higher interest rates we are currently experiencing, this system has remained strong. 

“There will always be lulls in the market, but Dalekit has ridden the waves of a volatile market many times in the past and we plan on weathering this new storm like any other. With a large range of traditional awnings to bolster our range we also have a range of folding arms as well as roof systems keeping us busy. Lastly we are well under way investigating new exciting internal products along with our cut length service.”
