Inspired by sailboat sails, Ziptrak®’s patented side spline runs along the edges of the fabric and sits within the side tracks. This helps keep the fabric securely retained and taut as the blind is raised or lowered, reducing the flapping that can occur with some conventional drop-down blinds.

Testing by TÜV SÜD PSB has shown the system capable of withstanding static wind loads of up to 260km/h on a 2m x 2m blind, reflecting the engineering and structural performance built into the system.

Ziptrak® offers different operating configurations to suit how you want to use your blinds. One option is DualDrive®, which combines the convenience of motorised operation with Ziptrak®’s spring-balanced manual system in a single blind.

This gives you the convenience of motorised control while retaining the option to operate the blind manually when needed, such as during a power outage or if the remote isn’t within reach.

Ziptrak® offers a range of specially engineered fabrics, allowing homeowners to choose an option suited to their needs, from privacy and light control to outward visibility and other features.

For example, RainOut® Acoustic is an outdoor fabric designed to provide rain protection while allowing natural light into the space. It also offers sound-dampening properties, and was tested to reduce sound levels by an average of 11.9 dB.
