Ziptrak® outdoor blinds are patented track-guided blinds that stop and hold at any height, with no clips, ropes or pulleys to operate. Nu Style Shutters is an authorised Ziptrak® manufacturer and installer, building each blind to the exact opening in Malaga, Western Australia.
Also known as: track guided blinds, Ziptrak blinds Perth, spring balance outdoor blinds
Ziptrak solved the problem that made early outdoor blinds frustrating: stopping halfway. A hi-tension assistance spring inside the axle carries the weight of the blind, so one hand moves it and it stays exactly where it is left. Large blinds get a second assistance spring. Ziptrak also offers a fire-tested configuration for multi-storey balconies, certified to ISO 13785-1:2002 — worth asking about if the project is an apartment, because that certification applies to specific fabric and frame builds rather than to every Ziptrak.
Earlier generations of outdoor blind used rope-and-pulley or clip-and-eyelet systems, which meant the blind was either fully up or fully down and somebody had to walk the perimeter fastening clips. Ziptrak replaced all of that with a spring balance and a centre lock. One hand, one movement, and the blind holds wherever it is released — including part-way, which is what you actually want when the sun is low but you still want the view.
The heavier the blind, the more work a spring balance is doing. Large Ziptrak blinds get a secondary assistance spring for exactly this reason: without it, a wide blind becomes a two-hand job and the mechanism wears faster. This is worth raising at the measure, because it is a specification decision rather than an upgrade you can add later.

A Ziptrak blind uses a hi-tension assistance spring inside the axle to balance the weight of the fabric. The blind stops and holds at any height, so it can be set part-way to cut low sun without closing the space in.
Ziptrak offers a fire-tested configuration for multi-storey balconies certified to ISO 13785-1:2002. The certification applies to specific fabric and frame combinations rather than to every Ziptrak build, so confirm the exact specification your strata or building surveyor requires before ordering.
Yes. Ziptrak blinds are available with spring-balance manual operation or with a motor. Manual operation costs less and needs no power at the opening; motorisation suits wide or high blinds and anyone who would rather not reach.
Ziptrak blinds are available with or without a pelmet box. Leaving the pelmet off gives a cleaner line under an existing roof; fitting one hides the rolled fabric and protects it when the blind is up.
Ziptrak blinds take clear PVC, tinted PVC or woven mesh. Clear PVC blocks weather completely and keeps winter warmth in. Woven mesh cuts glare and heat while letting the space breathe.
Yes. Nu Style Shutters is an authorised Ziptrak® manufacturer and installer, which means Ziptrak blinds sold here are genuine and are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
The track-guided design holds the fabric under tension on all four sides, which is why Ziptrak handles wind far better than an unguided blind. In genuinely severe weather any outdoor blind should be rolled up — the same advice applies to every system in the range.
