Question & Answers
Have questions about Ziptrak® Interior Blinds? Find answers to the most common questions below.
What is the warranty period on Ziptrak® blinds?
From 1 September 2024, all genuine Ziptrak® components are now covered by an extended 5-year warranty (previously 2 years). This applies to both our Outdoor and Interior systems, giving you even more confidence that your blinds are built to last.
If you ever experience an issue, simply contact your retailer — they’ll be your first point of support. Retailers may also provide their own warranty on top of Ziptrak®’s, so it’s worth confirming the details with them when you make your purchase.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
- The fabric/skin of the blind is not manufactured by Ziptrak®, so it is not included in the Ziptrak® warranty.
- To keep your warranty valid, your blinds need to be fabricated and installed according to our official manuals.
With genuine components and professional installation, you can relax knowing your Ziptrak® blinds are backed by years of reliable performance and support.
How much do Ziptrak® blinds cost?
Ziptrak® blinds are custom-made, so price depends on:
- System type (Outdoor or Interior)
- Size
- Material (Outdoor: PVC or mesh / Interior: light filtering and blockout options)
- Operation (manual or motorised)
- Installation complexity

Why is there no Zip in a Ziptrak® Blind?
Ziptrak® has been manufacturing outdoor blinds since the turn of the millennium — the year 2000 — when our founder and inventor, Tony de Maaijer, first designed, built, and installed outdoor blinds for a restaurant in Adelaide, South Australia.
At the time, there were no other track-guided systems on the Australian market. Tony used to describe the operation of the blind as “zippy,” meaning it moved easily up and down the track and could be used by people of all ages and abilities. There was no actual zipper in the blind, as Tony had invented an innovative method of holding the fabric in the track using a side spline. Tony always regarded a zipper as something for clothing, not for blinds — and he still does!
The brand name “Ziptrak®” was inspired by the effortless, zippy motion of the blind gliding smoothly along the track — but there has never been an actual zipper in the product. Our engineers have rigorously tested zippers, and the results are clear: Ziptrak®’s patented side spline technology is far stronger, more durable, and more reliable than a zipper could ever be.
Over the past 25 years, this innovation has set the standard for outdoor blinds. With imitations — often featuring zippers — “Ziptrak®” has become a generic descriptive term for a product category, much like Band-Aid® or Corn Flakes®.
There is only one Genuine Ziptrak®.
What are Ziptrak® Interior Blinds?
Ziptrak® Interior Blinds provide superior insulation, privacy and sun protection. They are an innovative approach to traditional blinds for indoor living environments. Ziptrak® Interior Blinds are track guided, which means the blind material runs securely within a vertical track on both sides. When retracted, the blind is neatly hidden within a discrete and modern pelmet.
Capitalising on our patented track guided blind system; we re-engineered every element to be slimmer and more subtle. Each detail required meticulous design, utilising the most exceptional materials and finishing options. The result is a remarkably unobtrusive form, with timeless simplicity, worthy of its presence within your home.
How is the Ziptrak® Interior blind operated?
The Ziptrak® Interior blind can be either hand operated or motorised. With hand operation, the blind is spring balanced, resulting in the blind weight being supported by a tensioned spring inside the pelmet. The subtle bottom bar is easily moved with the touch of a finger, allowing you to open or close the blind in seconds, or leave at any intermediate position along the track. When retracted, depending on the height your blind is installed at, you may not be able to reach the bottom bar to lower the blind. To assist you, there is also an optional pull stick which extends your reach, so that you are able to pull the bottom bar down.
For motorised blinds, there is no visual difference when compared to a manual hand operated blind. You’ll have a simple, easy-to-use remote that allows you to open or close the blind with one touch. Whilst in movement, touch again to stop the blind and leave it at any position along the track.
Neither manual or motorised Ziptrak® blinds require cords or chains, which add unnecessary clutter to your window and a safety risk to children.

A single Ziptrak® Interior blind can be a maximum of 3000mm wide, with a 2800mm drop. The minimum width is 450mm.
For drops up to 1600mm, the pelmet size is 75mm for most fabrics. Drops over 1600mm require a 95mm pelmet size – depending on the fabric selection.

Why are Ziptrak® Interior blinds great for insulation?
Ziptrak® Interior blinds have superior insulation properties to lower your energy bills, reduce your environmental impact and make your space more comfortable. Traditional blinds, such as panel drapes, roller blinds and venetians all have huge gaps that allow heat to enter during summer and escape during winter. Even cellular blinds, which are known for great insulation performance, aren’t a sealed system as there is a gap to the left and right.
Ziptrak® Interior solves this issue with an innovative track guided system, where the blind material runs within vertical tracks, creating an effective temperature barrier. The tracks are mounted flush against your window frame with highly precise custom installation for every situation.
I have a large set of windows which are floor to ceiling, what options do I have with Ziptrak® Interior?
The Ziptrak® Interior blind have a maximum width of 3000mm and drop of 2800mm. With multiple window and door openings, you can split into multiple blinds to effectively cover the area. When pelmets are mounted very high for windows that reach ceilings, motorisation is a popular option. If you have a door opening within a set of windows, it is advisable to have the door opening covered by a separate blind. This allows you to have the other windows covered, whilst the door blind is left retracted.
Why should I choose track guided interior blinds?
There are many advantages to a track guided system:
- Advanced light blocking – no light-gaps on either side of the blind
- Spring balanced – leave the blind at any height
- Hand operated – pull down, push up with the touch of a finger
- Motorised – simple remote for electric operation, leave at any height
- Child safe – no cords or chains
- Superior insulation – no gaps for heat to enter during summer or escape during winter*
