About

About Zip Blinds / Zipscreen

Have you ever dreamt of a home where the sun seamlessly peeks through your windows, orchestrating the perfect blend of natural light and privacy, without you having to manually pull your blinds?

Introducing automatic blinds in Singapore – the future of home automation.

Automatic blinds are increasingly becoming popular in Singapore homes, especially in areas like balconies and outdoor patios, due to their modern look, ease of use and durability. Smart zip blinds are no different – unlike traditional outdoor blinds that require manual pulling, smart zip blinds come with motorised systems that make lifting and pulling blinds an effortless activity.

What Is A Zip Blind

A zip blind is an outdoor blind with aluminium side tracks. The fabric has a sewn-in zip on each vertical edge that runs through the track. As the blind lowers, the zip slides into the track and holds the fabric edge tight to the frame. As it raises, the fabric unzips out and rolls into the head-box.

Patented System

z-LOCK™ Zip-Guided System

The detail that separates a zip blind that holds up from one that doesn't.

Designed and tested in Australia, the z-LOCK™ side retention system holds the fabric edge tight to the track at a higher tolerance than standard zip blinds. Less flutter under wind load. Cleaner seal through a Sumatra squall. The fabric stays put when the weather doesn't.

The z-LOCK™ system has been recognised in Singapore and internationally for its innovation, functionality, and design — the side retention is what we look at when we judge whether a zip blind will still be performing in five years.

Usage

Zip Blinds helps to save your electricity bills in Singapore

Singapore's extreme weather is hard to predict, and it changes how much electricity your home needs to stay comfortable. Intense heat and thundery rains push air-conditioning hard, which lifts electrical bills and your carbon footprint. Zip blinds keep you and your family comfortable in any weather. Besides keeping rain off the balcony, our zip blind system blocks up to 90% of unwanted heat when the blinds are down. Save on electrical bills in Singapore year-round with our outdoor zip blind systems.

Sun/UV Protection

Outdoor-grade mesh cuts glare and filters harsh tropical sun across your balcony or terrace. With the blind down, less solar heat and UV reach your glazing and outdoor seating, so adjoining rooms stay more comfortable and you rely less on air-conditioning during the hottest hours.

Wind & Dust Resistance

The zip-in-track design keeps fabric edges locked in aluminium side channels, so the blind holds its shape in gusty conditions instead of flapping loose. That same seal helps cut the fine dust and grit that otherwise blows straight onto outdoor furniture during squalls and hazy spells.

Rain Resistance

When thundery rain arrives, lower the blind to form a taut plane across the opening; the mesh and track system sheds wind-driven water so your balcony stays drier and more usable. Roll it back into the head-box when the skies clear and the outdoor room is yours again.

Insect Resistance

With the blind lowered and zipped into the tracks, mosquitoes and other flying pests meet a physical barrier—without shutting off airflow through the openness of the mesh you select. Comfort outside after dusk, without dousing the whole balcony in repellent.

FAQ

Common Questions About Zip Blinds

Will a Zip Blind Hold in a Singapore Squall?

Yes, when sized and installed properly. Our zip-blind installations have held through years of squall seasons. We do not promise typhoon-grade performance, because that is not what the product is rated for. The realistic envelope is moderate to strong wind and steady rain.

Can I See Through a Zip Blind When It Is Lowered?

Through an open-mesh zip (10% to 15% openness), yes. You get a softened view and a noticeable cross-breeze. Closed-mesh zips (3% to 5%) block more view and more weather. Some clients install one of each on the same opening for full daily flexibility.

Do I Need MCST Approval for a Zip Blind?

On a condo balcony, usually yes. On HDB external balconies, also yes. We work to the MCST and HDB external-installation guidelines and help prepare the documentation, including bracket fixing details and product spec sheets.

What Is the Lead Time?

Typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks. Custom-sized fabric and motorisation are import-only in many cases and add a week or two. If your handover is fixed, we stage measurement and install around it.
