Unlike traditional blinds, Ziptrak\u00ae blinds are track-guided, where the mesh or clear PVC material meets the track without any gap to provide an excellent shield; around the top, sides and the bottom of the blind, allowing you to enclose the area. The best part? Because Ziptrak\u00ae fabrics come in 1% openess ,\u00a0URA considers Ziptrak blinds as lightweight structures and allows the use of Ziptrak blinds as balcony screens.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the things you can enjoy when you partially enclose your balcony with Ziptrak\u00ae blinds:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Additional space to turn into a functional room.<\/strong> If space permits, you can convert your balcony into a dining area or a cozy reading corner. The material can also drastically reduce the amount of air conditioning escaping.<\/li>\n
- Keep out flying insects. <\/strong>If your home is prone to invasion by mosquitos, flies and other pests, Ziptrak’s no-gap system ensures they\u2019re kept outside.<\/li>\n
- Significantly less dust and haze entering the interior. <\/strong>Spend less time dusting and cleaning your home!<\/li>\n
- Maintain your view with privacy at the same time.<\/strong> Ziptrak\u00ae mesh material allows you to have a view of the outside while ensuring that neighbours can\u2019t peek inside.<\/li>\n
- Block out strong wind while enjoying air ventilation.<\/strong> Ziptrak\u00ae blinds won\u2019t rattle even in the strongest winds. Its\u00a0patented side spline, welded onto the both sides of the fabric,\u00a0makes it one of the toughest system anywhere in the market. A\u00a0wind loading\u00a0test conducted by University of Adelaide found that a 2.5m by 2.5m Ziptrak\u00ae Sunshade was able to withstand winds of up to 130km\/h. It also allows for fresh air ventilation at the same time.<\/li>\n
- Relax in comfort, with the blinds blocking heat, glare, noise and up to 99% of harmful UV rays.<\/strong> It meets the Melanoma International Foundation standard in effectively preventing sun damage to the skin and eyes.<\/li>\n
- Have the option of having an open balcony in seconds.<\/strong> When the weather\u2019s good and you want to convert the space into an outdoor area again, simply push the Ziptrak\u00ae blind up and have it disappear into the pelmet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
