“Looks or quality?”

It’s a tough call, especially for homeowners who want their spaces to look beautiful while expecting their investments to last. We’ve all been guilty of choosing cheaper options because they look good at first glance, but regret it when replacements or repairs become inevitable.

When it comes to outdoor blinds, this choice becomes even more important. You don’t want blinds that fail under rain or wind, nor do you want blinds that sag or wear out quickly, forcing another round of spending.

What’s the “Smiley Face” You See on Ziptrak®?

Some homeowners notice a slight “smiley face” on their Ziptrak® blinds when partially down. This gentle curve isn’t a defect; it’s the result of Ziptrak’s unique engineering designed for real-world performance.

At the heart of this system is the 25mm Cordura® side spline, which:

• Is significantly thicker and more robust than those found in other zip-guided systems.
• Is made with Cordura®, a highly durable material used in military-grade textiles for abrasion resistance.
• Is high-frequency welded to the blind fabric, creating a seamless, strong bond that reduces tearing and ensures longevity.

This spline locks securely into Ziptrak’s patented side tracks, providing:

• Superior wind resistance without flapping or blowouts.
• Rain and insect protection.
• Consistent tension that keeps your blinds functional for years.

The “smiley face” appears when the blind is partially up because the thicker spline slightly overlaps, but it disappears when the blind is fully down – giving you a clean, straight look while ensuring your blind withstands Singapore’s weather.

Why Quality Matters More Than a Perfect Line

It’s natural to want blinds that look perfectly straight at every height. But if you prioritise looks alone, you risk:

• Blinds that fail under strong winds or rain.
• Spline tearing or zip failures due to thinner, weaker materials.
• Frequent replacements that cost you more over time.

With Ziptrak®, the focus is on quality that lasts, combining:

A strong, track-guided system.
A 25mm high-frequency welded Cordura® spline for superior durability.
Reliable weather protection with a neat appearance when fully down.
