What are Outdoor Track-Guided blinds?

The Ziptrak® Outdoor Track-Guided blind system is a patented Australian invention designed to make outdoor living more comfortable.

Unlike channel-only outdoor blind systems, the Ziptrak® Outdoor Track-Guided blind system uses vertical tracks within a channel on each side to guide and secure the fabric. This track-guided design prevents the sides of the blind flapping in the wind and creates a sealed barrier to help keep out dust, dirt, and insects from outdoor areas. The sealed barrier also enhances comfort by trapping warmth in winter or blocking heat in summer, making outdoor areas usable all year round.

  • Manual, non‑motorised blinds are spring‑balanced, making them lightweight and easy to operate via the bottom bar. When fully lowered, spring‑balanced blinds lock securely into place.
  • Motorised operation is also a popular choice, offering the convenience of controlling blinds with the touch of a button via a remote control or wall switch.

Blinds can also be stopped at any height along the track allowing users to fine‑tune their protection from the sun, rain, wind as well as controlling the airflow, privacy, and views from their outdoor area. When retracted, blinds roll neatly into a protective pelmet at the top, or the roll can be left exposed without a pelmet if preferred.
