Ziptrak® Outdoor Pelmets Compared: Streamline Premium vs Traditional Budget Options

Streamline Pelmet: Premium Quality – The Bee’s Knees

A Ziptrak® Streamline extruded aluminium pelmet is more than just a cover — it’s a statement of premium quality and longevity.

Crafted through precision extrusion rather than thin rolled or folded material, the Streamline Pelmet delivers flawless rigidity, a smooth architectural finish, and the strength to endure year after year.

For those who expect the very best, the Streamline Pelmet offers unmatched refinement, premium protection, and enduring longevity — the perfect finishing touch to elevate your outdoor space into a sophisticated retreat.

Traditional Pelmet: A Budget-Friendly Choice

Traditional pelmets made from folded steel or rolled aluminium provide a more economical solution for protecting your Ziptrak® track-guided blind. While they offer basic coverage at a lower cost, it’s important to consider performance expectations and installation location.

Folded Steel Pelmet

Formed from thin sheet steel that is powder coated, cut and folded into shape; this option provides entry-level coverage.

• More prone to bending or twisting due to its thin design.
• Steel is susceptible to corrosion over time.

Rolled Aluminium Pelmet

Made from thin sheet aluminium that is powder coated, cut and rolled into shape; this option is practical when budget is the top priority rather than longevity.

• Lightweight material is less rigid than extruded aluminium, making it prone to bending or twisting.
• Aluminium is naturally corrosion resistant.
• Best suited to sheltered areas where the risk of damage is lower.
