Ziptrak Blinds FAQs
How much do Ziptrak blinds cost?
As a general guide, Ziptrak blinds typically start from $1,200 to $1,500 per blind for standard installations, with larger outdoor spaces or fully motorised systems sitting at $2,000 or more per blind. The main variables driving cost are the width and drop of each opening, fabric choice (mesh or PVC), whether the system is manual or motorised, and installation complexity. Extras like pelmets, weather strips, and powder coated hardware add to the final figure but also improve performance and longevity.
Are Ziptrak blinds worth it??
For Perth homes, the case is straightforward. Ziptrak’s sealed blind system shields outdoor spaces and furniture from wind, rain, dust, glare, insects, and cold weather, with the blind locking at any height so it stays exactly where you set it. Beyond the day-to-day comfort gains, well installed outdoor blinds extend the usable season of alfresco areas considerably, which in Perth’s entertaining culture translates to real value. With proper care, Ziptrak blinds can last 10 years or more.
How long do Ziptrak blinds last?
With regular maintenance, Ziptrak blinds last well over a decade without sagging or tearing. Longevity comes down to a few factors: fabric type, how frequently the blinds are used, and how well they’re maintained. Keeping the side tracks clear of debris, wiping down the fabric periodically, and retracting the blinds fully during severe weather all extend their lifespan considerably. Perth’s sustained UV load means periodic fabric inspection is worthwhile, particularly on older installs.
Ziptrak or Zipscreen. Which should you choose?
Both are quality Australian track guided systems and the better choice depends on your priorities. Here’s how they differ across the key decision points:
- Side Retention: Ziptrak uses highly durable kedar tape welded along the fabric edges to secure the blind in its channels. Zipscreen uses ZLock technology, a zip-style system mounted to the channel. Betta-blinds
- Wind Rating: Ziptrak carries a 130km/h wind rating. Zipscreen is rated to 50km/h. For exposed Perth locations, this is a meaningful gap. Betta-blinds
- Maximum Width: Ziptrak’s PanoView option reaches 6 metres wide in a single panel. Zipscreen’s standard maximum is 4 metres per panel. Ecohaus
- Locking System: Ziptrak features a centre lock release mechanism that can be operated from inside or outside the blind. Zipscreen uses a bottom slide bolt system. All Weather Blinds
- Aesthetics: Ziptrak carries a softer, curved profile while Zipscreen leans toward sharper, more contemporary lines. Both offer pelmet options for a clean finish. Betta-blinds
- Price: Ziptrak typically comes in around $100 less per blind than Zipscreen, all other factors being equal. Invironblindsadelaide
For most Perth residential installs, Ziptrak’s wind performance, wider span options, and lower price point make it the stronger all-round choice. Zipscreen suits those after a more minimalist aesthetic or a motorised-first setup.
