Ziptrak® has recently released a new Ziptrak® Heavy Duty system for blinds between 5m and 6m wide. Now even larger blinds can be lifted and lowered by spring control or motorised, for a one-touch, easy operation.
Ziptrak® Blinds with a spring operation and centre release handle, in a dark charcoal or black fabric, create a really easy-to-use blind. The dark fabric hides any dirt and marks and lets you look easily through to the view outside. The spring operation makes it quick to raise and lower the blind, and the centre release handle is one of the best options in the market for a straightforward release.
If you are building or renovating, be sure to contact us early so we can help ensure the correct provisions are made on your outdoor structure.
With a Ziptrak® Blind, the fabric and powder coated extrusion are seamlessly integrated to form a highly desirable and functional shading and screening product. A spline that is welded to each side of the fabric is wrapped around an aluminium top tube, which can then be covered by a stylish pelmet.
At each side of the Ziptrak® Blind is an inner and outer channel that attaches to a post or wall, which the fabric slides down and is captured within the channel. A powder coated bottom rail is also attached to the fabric, and within the bottom rail you can have the option of a centre release handle for ease of use, or simply use the bottom latches at each side to release the blind for raising.
With the choice of an open or closed hood to hide the workings, as well as a variety of custom powder-coated colours, we can help you easily match and complement any home or building.
Choose from hand or motorised operations for Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds. Both options come with the brand’s latest reducer technology, which helps keep the fabric flat and reduces the natural ripples and waves created as the blind rolls up.
With Adelaide’s largest choice of outdoor fabrics, you can choose from a broad range of colours, patterns and textures – including the latest generation PVC coated woven polyester mesh, and acrylic fabrics.
Ziptrak® Blinds work well with clear PVC. At Stan Bond, we use the highest quality, low shrink Japanese Clear PVC available, to ensure you get the best outcome from this sometimes volatile product.
Some of the main differences between Ziptrak® and Zipscreen include the headbox shape, channelling system and hold down locks. The Stan Bond team have provided an in depth comparison of the two Outdoor Blinds on our Blog. The full article highlighting the differences between Zipscreen and Ziptrak® can be read HERE.
On average, Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds cost between $800 to $17,000. For larger areas, Ziptrak® HD can cost between $2,000 to $2,500.
Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds can be made up to 5 metres wide with a drop of 3.2 metres. For larger areas, Ziptrak® HD is available which is a heavy duty system specifically designed for larger spaces. Ziptrak® HD can be manufactured up to 6 metres wide with a drop of 3.2 metres.
In windy conditions, it is recommended that Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds are fully retracted or left down and locked. Ziptrak® Blinds are most vulnerable when they are in a halfway position. During severe weather, Ziptrak® Blinds should be fully retracted as they can be damaged.
With Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds, you have the choice of 1% openness mesh, 5% openness mesh or PVC. All mesh options allow you to see through the blind, however 1% openness mesh has a tighter weave, which will block out more view, sunlight, wind and rain. 5% openness mesh is the most popular option. PVC is completely see through but does require frequent cleaning.
Zipscreen blinds can be a great addition to alfresco areas, but it’s essential to ensure proper ventilation for safety. When using plumbed-in gas barbecues, Australian Standards (AS/NZS 5601.1) require sufficient airflow to prevent the buildup of harmful gases like carbon monoxide.
The standards do not explicitly address blinds or other removable coverings, so definitive advice on their impact is not provided. However, to maintain ventilation, Zipscreen Blinds should be installed or raised to ensure at least 25% of the total wall space in the outdoor area remains open.
For additional safety, we recommend installing a carbon monoxide detector. Furthermore, whenever operating a gas appliance, such as a barbecue, outdoor blinds should always be raised to ensure adequate ventilation.
Please note, while these recommendations reflect best practices, only a licensed gas fitter can provide definitive advice on compliance with building and safety regulations for your alfresco area.
Testimonials
I had three sets of day-night blinds installed and a Veri-shade. Very happy with the total experience from Stan Bond. Professional advice, personal assistance, on time, easy to deal with. I benefited from the suggestions and care taken by each staff member. The blinds and shade look lovely and perform exactly as I had hoped.
It is so rare these days that a company offers such wonderful service and quality of product. From the very start to the very end, nothing short of pure excellence. Jenny was amazing with her suggestions and ideas, her patience very much appreciated and her ability to get the job done within limited timescales very much appreciated. This is my second experience with this company, internal shutters and curtains to go to complete my home and I will not even bother to get quotes elsewhere. Thank you Jenny, and all the team at Stan Bond - don't ever close your doors please!
We found Stan Bond to have really friendly, knowledgeable staff, they were reasonably priced, had fast turnaround and the installer was efficient and cleaned up after himself and was of minimal disruption to our office staff who were all working throughout the installation process. Very happy with the service, we would definitely use again.
