Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Ziptrak® is the original, patented outdoor track-guided blind system developed in Australia. Designed to offer seamless integration of indoor comfort with outdoor living, Ziptrak® blinds glide smoothly up and down, locking into position at any height without the need for cords, zippers, or pulleys.
Unlike imitations or generic track systems, Ziptrak® offers a patented side spline system that ensures the blind remains secure in windy conditions, with minimal movement or gaps. This patented side spline keeps the blind fabric firmly within the track, allowing the blind system to withstand static wind loads of up to 260km/hr. It’s also designed with convenience in mind, allowing you to stop the blind at any height and operate it effortlessly.
Yes, Ziptrak® is perfectly suited for Singapore’s hot, humid, and rainy climate. Its patented track-guided system and weatherproof fabrics are engineered to withstand strong winds, heavy rainfall, and intense sunlight, making it ideal for year-round use.
Fabrik Etc offers a curated selection of premium, weather-resistant fabrics compatible with Ziptrak® systems, including:
- PolyWeave 1%
- RainOut® Frosted
- ClearViewTM
The Ziptrak® blinds’ side spline technology ensures the fabric is securely held within the side tracks, preventing it from flapping or billowing in strong winds. When locked in the down position, the blind stays taut and stable, making it a reliable choice even for high-rise balconies or open patios exposed to gusts.
Ziptrak® blinds can be fitted with privacy mesh fabrics that shield your space from external view while still allowing natural light and airflow. During the day, mesh fabrics function as a one-way screen so you can enjoy your view while limiting visibility from outside. This makes them especially popular for urban settings like condominiums and terrace homes where neighbours are in close proximity.
Yes, when fitted with 0% RainOut® Frosted, clear, or tinted PVC, Ziptrak® blinds offer complete rain protection. These materials are waterproof and help shield your outdoor area from heavy downpours. Mesh fabrics are water-resistant, meaning they can handle light rain and dry quickly, though they are not designed for full waterproofing. Either way, the track-sealed design helps prevent rain from entering from the sides.
Yes, Ziptrak® blinds can be used for balconies in HDB flats, condominiums, and landed properties across Singapore. However, certain developments and MCSTs may have regulations governing outdoor installations.
At Fabrik Etc, we are familiar with these requirements and can advise you on approved fabric colours and installation methods that comply with your estate’s guidelines. We also provide assistance with paperwork, where necessary.
Yes, Ziptrak® blinds can be upgraded with a motorised system, especially for large blinds and hard-to-reach installations.
The price of a Ziptrak® depends on the size of your installation, the fabric selected, and whether you opt for manual or motorised operation. Although priced higher than generic outdoor blinds in Singapore, the investment pays off through superior performance, aesthetics, and durability.
Ziptrak® blinds offer excellent UV protection and rain resistance. It has fabric options that provide excellent protection against sun, wind, and rain while allowing ventilation and filtered light. With a weather-sealed track system, it prevents water ingress and minimises exposure to the elements, helping to create a more comfortable and usable outdoor space all year round.
The best blinds depend on your balcony’s exposure and intended use. For high-rise units or windy areas, PanoView Ziptrak® with RainOut® Frosted fabric provides strong wind and rain protection without obstructing views. For shaded or ventilated balconies, our Polyweave 1% and 5% Ziptrak® blinds allow natural airflow while reducing heat and glare.
Fabrik Etc’s team can recommend the ideal configuration during your free on-site consultation.
With proper care, Ziptrak® blinds can last 10 to 15 years or more, depending on exposure and maintenance. Sheltered patios with minimal weather impact may see a lifespan of 12 to 15 years, while more exposed or windy areas, such as open decks, typically last 10 to 13 years. Regular cleaning and routine checks help maximise durability and performance.
Consider these maintenance and cleaning tips for your Ziptrak® blinds:
- Clean Sunscreen mesh or PVC with soapy cold water and a soft cloth, then allow to dry before rolling up.
- Dry PVC with a cloth for the best results and avoid scratching the surface.
- Do not use full-strength detergents, cleaning fluids, soaps, insecticides, petrochemicals, solvents, bore water, or high-pressure hoses.
- Avoid window cleaning detergents and prevent bird droppings, dirt, or stains from remaining on the material.
Because Ziptrak® blinds are built-in blinds without any fixed panels, they can be customised for curved or L-shaped balconies.
Ziptrak® blinds are a popular choice for cafés, restaurants, and alfresco dining areas in Singapore. Available in clear PVC, manual, or motorised options, Ziptrak® blinds also enhance the ambience and usability of commercial outdoor spaces year-round.
Ziptrak® offers RainOut® Blackout for complete light-blocking in smaller spaces, and RainOut® Frosted for enhanced privacy, while allowing for diffused sunlight to enter. Speak with our professionals to determine which Ziptrak® blind configuration best suits your space and needs.
