The Strength Behind Track-Guided Blinds

Install a blind into a strong and secure structure.

In real-world conditions, wind hits blinds differently.
While lab tests can show how strong blinds are, they can’t perfectly predict how blinds will perform in storms or how they’ll affect the structure they’re attached to.

Blind skins may deform or stretch in strong winds, but usually return to their original state once the windy conditions have passed.

To maintain your blinds, their operation, and your outdoor structure, raise your Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds fully during strong winds, storms or severe weather.*

*Visit the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s Severe Weather Knowledge Centre at www.bom.gov.au for more information on these weather conditions.

Blinds may not move up or down in strong winds, as the wind pressure on the blind effectively locks the skin in the tracks.

Wait for the windy conditions to pass before using your blinds. Alternatively, press on the blind skin with your hand to relieve pressure, before moving up or down.

When not being used, keep blinds fully open or fully closed.

These are the strongest positions.

Use Trusted Ziptrak® Retailers and Installers, because once the blinds are installed, they last!
