Ziptrak®: Singapore's Favourite Track-Guided Blinds from Australia

Ziptrak® is a premium solution known for its precision engineering, safety features, and longevity. 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. Ziptrak’s 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. With over two decades of proven performance in Australia’s harsh climate, it’s a system trusted worldwide, including in Singapore, for its reliability and finish.

The system provides excellent protection against sun, wind, and rain while allowing ventilation and filtered light depending on the fabric you choose. Its weather-sealed track system prevents water ingress and minimises exposure to the elements, helping to create a more comfortable and usable outdoor space all year round.

Ziptrak® operates on a spring-balanced track-guided system that allows you to easily push or pull the blind into position without the need for cords or chains. It glides smoothly along its specially designed vertical tracks and locks into place at any desired height. For added convenience, motorised Ziptrak® systems are also available, allowing operation via remote control or smart home integration. Motor brands include Somfy and DOOYA.
