Balconies are common in Singaporean apartments, but they’re exposed to harsh weather, dust, and damaging UV rays.
Many homeowners don’t realise the toll unprotected balconies can take until it’s too late. Quality outdoor blinds like Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds offer an effective solution.
UV exposure is a silent culprit in furniture damage. Strong UV rays from Singapore’s intense sunlight can quickly warp plastics, crack wood, and fade finishes if balconies aren’t protected.
Protecting furniture from sun damage should be a priority – prevention is far easier than repairing or replacing affected items.
Traditional methods, like wood oils or protective covers, can help, but they’re often tedious to apply and can be time-consuming.
By comparison, Ziptrak® blinds offer long-lasting, low-maintenance protection from sun damage, with minimal effort from the homeowner.
The blinds even pair with UV-resistant fabrics, which is ideal as balconies are often subject to strong sun exposure. Smart-home integration also means the motorised versions can be automated to shield the space during peak sunlight hours.
Having open balconies means that dust, rainwater, and overall grime can build up quickly in the space. This can lead to mould and mildew, as well as dirt-coated furniture.
That makes balconies and similar spaces difficult to enjoy without constant cleaning and wiping down, but Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds help reduce maintenance while keeping the space functional.
The key to reducing dust at home in Singapore is creating an effective seal against its entry, which is exactly what the Ziptrak® system does.
With a unique track-guided system, the blinds create a near gap-less barrier, blocking out much of the dust and moisture outside when closed. Despite that, several fabric options available with Ziptrak® can simultaneously retain airflow and natural light for a clean and open feel.
This allows homeowners to enjoy the best of both worlds – air and light can enter, while dirt and moisture stay out.
Balconies are unfortunately seen as "dead zones" during heavy storms, peak sunny periods, or even the haze seasons. Despite being part of the home, they’re often under-utilised spaces.
Without proper balcony protection, many homeowners hesitate to furnish or decorate these areas. In homes where the semi-outdoor spaces are sizable, this leads to even more unused space and wasted potential.
Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds can help make these semi-outdoor spaces accessible all year round. They offer protection from the elements and can even help keep air-conditioned air in the area, when paired with the right fabric.
Replacing outdoor furniture can be costly. The same goes for repainting or even deep-cleaning mould and mildew, especially if the damage is recurrent.
Many homeowners often look into proper balcony management only after relatively major damage has occurred, which can be upsetting and expensive to deal with – but getting high-quality blinds from the start can help prevent that.
Durable Ziptrak® Blinds provide long-term protection, reducing the need for ongoing repairs and temporary fixes.
Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds are crafted with weather-resistant materials in a rigorously tested design that can hold up for years, without requiring heavy maintenance. This means the blinds themselves can stand the test of time and are one less potential source of repair expenses.
Many homeowners who get Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds don’t regret their purchase – instead, most of them regret not having them earlier!
