Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Ziptrak awning system work?
A Ziptrak system uses a specially designed side-track channel that securely holds the blind fabric in place. Unlike traditional outdoor blinds that rely on zippers or straps, Ziptrak blinds glide within the track and lock into position at any height. This prevents gaps along the edges and keeps the fabric tensioned, reducing movement in windy conditions. The system can be manually operated with a spring-balanced mechanism or motorised for remote control convenience. Because the fabric is fully retained within the track, it offers improved weather resistance, smoother operation and a cleaner appearance compared to standard outdoor blinds.
Are Ziptrak awnings suitable for windy areas like Darwin?
Ziptrak awnings are specifically designed to perform in challenging conditions, including windy coastal environments like Darwin. The track-guided system prevents the blind from pulling away at the sides, significantly reducing the risk of blowouts. When properly installed and maintained, Ziptrak blinds can withstand moderate wind conditions while providing effective shade and protection. However, like all external systems, they should be retracted during extreme weather events such as cyclones or severe storms to prevent damage. Choosing quality materials and professional installation is essential for optimal performance.
Can Ziptrak blinds block out rain and insects?
Yes, depending on the material selected. Ziptrak awnings are available in PVC and mesh fabric options. Clear or tinted PVC creates a near-weatherproof barrier that blocks wind and rain while maintaining visibility. Mesh fabrics allow airflow while still reducing rain spray and filtering sunlight. Because the fabric sits securely within the side tracks, there are no gaps for insects to enter, making it ideal for outdoor entertaining areas. The result is a more comfortable, enclosed space that can be enjoyed in a wider range of weather conditions.
Engineered Strength
Built for the Territory
Ziptrak awnings aren’t just about smooth operation — they’re engineered for durability in demanding environments. The side-track system prevents fabric blowouts and eliminates gaps, helping block wind, rain, insects and UV exposure. This makes them ideal for Darwin homes where outdoor entertaining is part of everyday life.
Available in a range of mesh and PVC options, Ziptrak blinds allow you to choose between filtered airflow or complete weather protection. They can be manually operated or motorised for ultimate convenience, making them a smart solution for modern homes and commercial spaces alike.
