Ziptrak Blinds Features
Ziptrak® Blinds is an Australian invented, owned and made multi-patented system that is safer, more durable and more functional in design. This track-guided system implements user-friendly design for simple and easy hand operation, gliding smoothly into place.
Ziptrak Blinds features include:
- Height Adjustable: you can stop your blinds at any position along the track, simply let the blind go and it will stay at your desired height.
- Patented Spring-Balanced System: this patented spring system design feature carries most of the blind material’s weight, ensuring the blind feels lightweight to the user and is easily adjusted.
- Locking Mechanisms: the blinds can be locked when fully down, securing your blind in place. There is also a unique Centre Lock Release that allows the user to unlock both the left and right locks simultaneously from the centre.
- No Crank Operation: Crank blinds can be annoying to use and slow to adjust. With Ziptrak blinds, you won’t need a crank stick to adjust your blinds, simply grab hold of the blind, then pull it down to lower it or push it up to retract it – simple and easy!
- Up to 6m Wide: the maximum measurements for these blinds is 6 meters wide and 3.5 meters tall.
- Family Friendly Design: Our design also presents a safe environment for children and pets with no cords, crank handles, zips or external wiring.
