Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
DualDrive® is a versatile Ziptrak® blind system that allows you to operate your blinds both by motor (via remote control) and manually (by hand). Whether you’re powered up or not, you’re always in control.
You can control your DualDrive® blind in two convenient ways:
• Remote Control – Raise or lower the blind at the push of a button
• Manual Pull – Use the included pull stick or simply move the bottom bar by hand – no power needed
• All Ziptrak® systems installed by our team come with verified components and brand-certified workmanship.
As a pioneer retailer since 2017, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners enjoy the full benefits of genuine Ziptrak® systems – installed to specification, with lasting performance in mind. If you’re unsure whether a system you’ve seen is genuine, feel free to contact our team for advice. We’re happy to help you identify the key differences.
Yes. DualDrive® is specially designed for full manual functionality even during a power outage. The patented spring system allows smooth and controlled movement.
Once power is restored, even if the bottom bar was moved when the blind was not powered, simply use the remote control to raise it all the way up. The blind will then return to its original motor settings.
Not at all. While the tension is firm for stability, the blind is designed to be moved easily – even with two fingers.
Each DualDrive® blind comes with:
• A remote control for motorised use
• A pull stick for easy manual operation
Yes, a standard power point is required to power the motorised function. Manual control remains available at all times, regardless of power status.
Yes. With the addition of a Smart module to connect to the Tuya app. DualDrive® can be integrated with:

No problem, we got you covered. You can always fall back on our Ziptrak® Outdoor Manual or Motorised systems.
The manual spring comes with a 10 year warranty and the motor system comes with a 5-year warranty, covering product and parts.
Because real life is unpredictable. Whether the remote is missing or the power is out, DualDrive® keeps working. Motorised when you want it. Manual when you need it.
This will depend on the height or width of the blind that’s required, versus the roll width of the selected fabric. For example, if the height of the installation is 3000mm or below, and the fabric selected has a roll width of 3000mm, you will not have any joint lines. Most of our fabric selections are in rolls of 3000mm.
If the height or width of the blind exceeds the width of the fabric roll, two pieces of fabric will be joined to make a single piece. A fabric joint will be of the same colour and material; the opaque 20mm joint will only be slightly visible, and the joint line will be very neat.
We provide a customised solution for mounting Ziptrak® blinds. Generally, we will be able to install onto wood, steel, brick and concrete surfaces. If you are in an area susceptible to high winds or are looking for a very robust installation, make a note to request that stainless steel rivets be used to fix the track to the bracket channel.
Many Ziptrak® blinds have been installed in Singapore homes, to provide a fully protected living space. Since Ziptrak® became available in Singapore, track-guided blinds have become a very frequent sight at balconies, patios and roof terraces, especially in condominiums, across the island.
If you live in a condominium, do check with your Managing Agent (MA) or MCST, on the type of installations they allow and the colours they’ve specified for blinds.
Yes, you can. Ideally, invisible grilles should be installed just within the railing, leaving at least 50mm of tiled kerb space for the installation of Ziptrak® blinds.
If you are not installing invisible grilles with us, do let your selected invisible grille installer know that you will be installing blinds so that they can leave adequate space on the railing kerb for the Ziptrak® installation.
If there isn’t enough space on the kerb to accommodate the blinds, your we may be able to install a kerb extension. Kerb extensions will not be necessary if you have or intend to install decking. Do discuss your options with our team!
It’s best to install invisible grilles first, as the presence of blinds may hinder the installation of invisible grilles.
Let us know, so that we can leave a minimum space of 30mm to allow for future installation of invisible grilles.
Both are possible. We recommend installing Ziptrak® blinds first so that the decking and blinds remain independent of each other. The decking can be done in a way that accommodates the posts and tracks.
If your decking company can contour the wood to follow the outline of the installed vertical Ziptrak® posts and track, this would be ideal.
It is important that the top surface of the decking is levelled. This is because the bottom bar of the Ziptrak® system will be levelled. If the decking follows the natural water gradient of the balcony (usually a slight diagonal angle), there will be a slight gap between the bottom bar and the decking, when the blinds are closed.
Yes, Ziptrak® blinds can be installed on top of the decking; although a concrete surface is preferred.
To prevent future changes to the decking from affecting the blinds, do check in with us for the blinds to remain independent of the decking during your site consultation.
Ziptrak® blinds can be installed in an area as narrow as:
- 450mm for a manual system with a maximum height of 2600mm for widths below 600mm, and
- 800mm for a motorised system.
For anything narrower, a fixed fabric panel can be installed to provide protection from the elements. Do note that this panel will not be movable.
To ensure an installation that’s strong and sturdy, even in high wind conditions, all tracks are affixed to posts or walls. For corner or angled installations, in particular, the tracks will be affixed to a post at the corner.
If you prefer not to have a post, a removable post can be an option. To lower your blinds, simply slot the post back in place, and then lower your blinds. Do note that removable posts are only recommended with manual blinds and on ground floor units.
Most canopies and pergola roofs are sturdy enough to support the installation of Ziptrak® blinds.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to mount Ziptrak® blinds onto a retractable awning. However, a workaround would be to have a fixed steel frame installed under the retractable awning. It should also be independent of the awning. The Ziptrak® blinds can then be mounted onto this frame. Do note that there will be a gap between the retractable awning and the frame that the pelmet is mounted to. Therefore, some water may enter through that gap during rainstorms.
It is possible to install onto false ceilings, and we may reinforce the ceiling prior to installation. Ziptrak® blinds can also be mounted to other concrete surfaces like the wall if the ceiling is not suitable. We will be able to better advise you after a site consultation.
