Sunscreen Roller Blinds – for Daytime Privacy and Glare Reduction
Our sheer roller blinds, often referred to as sunscreen roller blinds or e-screens, are a modern window treatment that offers daytime privacy, reduces heat and glare, all while providing an unobstructed view of the outdoors. They come in a vast array of fabrics, colours, and hardware options, making them favoured in contemporary homes due to their sleek design and appealing aesthetic.
These blinds are commonly used in living areas, kitchens, and other windows where complete darkness at night is not required, as well as in commercial environments and offices.
Often paired with a blockout roller blind to form dual roller blinds, also referred to as double roller blinds, sheer roller blinds offer the necessary daytime privacy in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas that face neighbouring properties. The trend of motorising sunscreen blinds is increasingly gaining traction, with battery-operated options now available, allowing you to automate your sheer roller blind without needing an electrician's assistance.
Tiptop's most popular sunscreen roller blinds are crafted from fabrics featuring a 5% openness in their weave, enabling clear views without sacrificing privacy and UV protection. For those seeking enhanced visibility through the roller blinds, sheer roller blinds with 10% openness are also offered, providing a more transparent look. All of our sheer blinds are manufactured on site in our Clayton factory using Australian made and imported fabrics sourced from around the world.

Visit Our ShowroomEnvironmentally Friendly Sunscreen Roller Blinds
Sunscreen roller blinds offer protection from UV rays, reducing their impact by 90% to 99%. Acting as a barrier, they filter or reflect sunlight, which can lead to a significant drop in energy costs by keeping your home cooler during the summer months. Our sheer roller blinds are crafted from high-quality fabrics that retain heat in the winter, minimising heat loss through windows and lowering heating expenses.
Sheer roller blinds, also known as e-screen blinds, help to block UV rays, safeguarding timber floors, carpets, furniture, and artwork from fading.
At Tiptop, we suggest installing sunscreen roller blinds on every window facing north or west in Melbourne, as the strong afternoon sun can cause deterioration over time. Many homeowners prefer sunscreen blinds in white tones that harmonise with their wall colours, whereas commercial establishments frequently select black mesh sheer fabric for their e-screens, as the black contrasts sharply with the bright outdoor setting, aiding the eyes in focusing beyond the mesh.
UV & Energy Benefits
- Blocks 90–99% of harmful UV rays
- Reduces heat gain in summer months
- Retains warmth during winter
- Protects floors, furniture & artwork from fading
- Available in white, neutral and black mesh tones

Linked Sheer Roller Blinds for Large Windows and Doors
Sunscreen roller blinds can be manufactured up to 3 metres wide. For large windows or doors requiring sunscreen blinds, a linking system is used to connect the blinds, allowing them to be controlled with a single chain or motor if desired.
When installing e-screen roller blinds in hard-to-reach areas, such as voids, behind bathtubs, or furniture, we recommend motorising the blinds. This enables you to raise or lower them conveniently using a remote control. For the ultimate in luxury and convenience, we can integrate your blinds with your home automation system and smart devices.
Battery-operated blinds used daily typically require charging every 4–6 months. We provide a USB charger for easy recharging of the blind motors.
Linked & Motorised Options
- Link multiple blinds for unified control
- Motorise for hard-to-reach areas
- Battery recharge every 4–6 months
- Smart home integration available
- USB charger included with battery motors

Add a Blockout Roller, Sheer Curtain or Bonded Pelmet
For the latest interior design trends, combine sunscreen and sheer roller blinds with a blackout roller blind or sheer curtain to elevate both style and functionality. Transform your space by turning your sunscreen roller blind into a dual roller blind, which seamlessly integrates light control and privacy.
Dual roller blinds can be installed on separate brackets, with the sunscreen blind positioned in the window reveal and the blackout roller blind mounted on the architrave for enhanced room darkening, or on a double bracket that holds both blinds.
Pairing your sunscreen roller blinds with sheer curtains in wave, S-fold, or pencil pleat patterns will add sophistication and elegance while diffusing light and creating a soft, opulent atmosphere in any space. Pelmets can be added to conceal the mechanism and add a chic, designer finish — available in the same fabric as the sheer roller blind or a contrasting material bonded to the pelmet.
Pairing Options
- Pair with blockout roller blind for dual rollers
- Add S-fold or pencil pleat sheer curtains
- Bonded pelmets for a seamless finish
- Twin bracket or separate bracket mounting
- Motorise one or both blinds
