6 smart features we love about motorised Ziptrak® blinds

Smart homes are becoming more popular – and for good reason. Their integration of style, comfort, and convenience makes them enormously appealing to homeowners.

Motorised blinds in Singapore are among the latest staples for today’s smart homes – motorised Ziptrak® blinds have emerged as a popular choice in particular!

These blinds offer homeowners smart solutions to elevate their living space, both indoors and outdoors. If you want to learn more, read on! We’ll explore the standout smart features that make Ziptrak® blinds so attractive for tech-savvy homeowners.

1. Seamless smart home integration

One of the best things about motorised Ziptrak® blinds is that they can integrate with most major smart home systems. Whether you’re using Google Home or Amazon Alexa, the blinds can be easily set up for control through various apps.

Once integrated, the blinds give you access to remote operation and smart features. For example, you can manage sunlight and privacy at the touch of a button. Or you can arrange for your blinds to roll down before the noontime sun starts blazing.

2. Effortless operation

Ziptrak® motorised blinds also take away the need for manual operation. The result? Blinds that are easier than ever to control, regardless of your physical condition or even size.

Even children can learn to operate Ziptrak® blinds with ease. Combined with remote or wall-mounted controls, these systems make adjusting your blinds effortless!

And in our tropical weather, this can be especially useful. It means you or any other member of the household can easily open or close outdoor patio or balcony blinds – even without having to step out into the heat or rain!

3. The smooth motor system

The motors used in Ziptrak® blinds have been engineered for smooth and quiet operation. This means that users can enjoy minimal disruption, even in terms of sound, when using them.

As such, Ziptrak® blinds can be used even in places like bedrooms or nurseries. Since they’re so smooth and quiet when in use, they don’t even wake up sleeping babies.

And because the system has been designed for consistency and high durability, users have the reassurance that their blinds will still be smooth and quiet even after years of use.

4. Enhanced privacy

Motorised Ziptrak® blinds can give you privacy on demand – and best of all, they can even do it without sacrificing natural light or ventilation!

This is because some Ziptrak® fabrics come in privacy-friendly options that still allow things like natural light into your spaces. For example, there are frosted fabrics that can be used to prevent people from seeing into a room while still letting light into that same room.

This flexibility is a valuable one in places like Singapore, where people often have to live in closely packed properties or HDB flats. You can even schedule for your blinds to go down right before the times of day when neighbours are most likely to be out and about.

5. Superior energy efficiency

Ziptrak® blinds can also support homeowners’ attempts at being more energy efficient. This pertains specifically to attempts to control temperatures in our living spaces.

For example, these blinds can help reduce heat transmission through light, especially when paired with suitable mesh fabrics that still allow ventilation. Pair that with smart control, and you can make them roll down automatically before the hottest parts of the day.

Alternatively, less porous fabrics can be used to keep air-conditioned air from escaping a room or a sealed-off balcony. With these, just make the blinds roll down before running the air conditioner. 

6: Optional integration with sensors

You can also pair Ziptrak® blinds with smart sensors that read sunlight, rain or wind conditions. Using the data pulled from those sensors, you can set specific triggers to make your blinds automatically roll up or down!

Again, this means enhanced efficiency and convenience because it takes the work out of your hands once it’s been set up. Your blinds can even be automated to retract when the weather is fair again.
