No zips, cords, ropes or wires
The Ziptrak® spring-balanced system makes zips, cords, ropes and wires totally redundant. The unobtrusive design subtly integrates into your area and is easy to operate.
Leave at any height
Ziptrak® blinds can be left at any position along the track. Simply let the blind go, and it will stay at your desired height. Take control of your environment in seconds with simple and easy hand operation.
Lightweight, simple operation
Astonishingly, most of the weight of the blind material disappears due to our patented spring-balanced system. Other blind systems don’t include a spring system, leaving you with all the heavy lifting – pushing and pulling a cumbersome blind along a track that resists and feels rough.
Locks into place
Ziptrak® blinds have locking mechanisms which allows the blinds to be locked when fully down, providing a secure hold, even in windy conditions. With our unique Centre Lock Release you can unlock both the left and right locks simultaneously from the centre. Yet another remarkable and intuitive solution that makes outdoor entertaining a pleasure.
No crank, cords, chains or ropes
With no need for cranks, cords, chains or ropes, the Ziptrak® Track-Guided system offers streamlined functionality with a clean modern look. Designed for simplicity, safety and style, it glides smoothly and locks in place at any height – no manual winding or external components. It’s the ultimate family and pet-friendly solution.
Potential to reduce your energy bills
The external shading can block a significant amount of heat from entering the building; The Ziptrak® patented track-guided system creates a sealed barrier, so your entertainment area stays cool during summer and warm during winter. Reduce the need for air-conditioning, lower your impact on the environment and save money.
Architectural Integration
With prior planning, Ziptrak® outdoor blinds can be seamlessly integrated into your outdoor area. Talk with your architect or builder about recessing componentry into ceiling cavities and face-fixing to disguise the tracks . Whether you have a heritage listed building or ultra modern home, Ziptrak® is a discreet solution.
Up to 6 meters wide
Ziptrak® outdoor blinds can be up to 6 meters wide, and 3.5 meters tall. The system will automatically include larger, stronger and additional components that make a 6m wide blind as robust and easy to lift as a 3m wide blind. If you’re looking to cost effectively cover a large opening, Ziptrak® offers unbeatable quality and value.
No rattling in wind
Ziptrak® patented system grips tight to the vertical tracks for peace and quiet even in strong winds – NO rattling blinds! Our unique spline design conceals the edges of the blind, keeping out dust, wind, rain and insects. The new small side spline also provides a smoother finish and superior skin appearance.
