Smart living is more than a trend in Singapore. These days, it’s a reality. Singaporeans have embraced the convenience of smart-home technology rapidly over the past years.
Automatic blinds like those from Ziptrak® are popular devices in home automation due to many benefits. Among other things, they offer easy control over home temperature, privacy, and light without compromising on aesthetics.
Smart-home-ready design
Ziptrak® home automation blinds are designed with modern living in mind.
They integrate with popular smart‑home platforms like Google Home and Amazon Alexa, allowing homeowners to enjoy voice‑controlled access to the blinds.
The integration works through a Wi‑Fi bridge that links the motorised blinds to smart‑home hubs or virtual assistants. Configuring the connection typically takes just a few simple steps. Once set up, the blinds can be controlled remotely or digitally.
For instance, homeowners can raise or lower their Ziptrak® blinds with simple voice commands, or use a mobile app for the same purpose.
The Somfy® or Dooya® app used with Ziptrak® blinds also makes it possible to operate them even when away from home. For example, the blinds can be adjusted remotely while at the workplace or out for lunch.
Exceptional convenience and comfort
Manually adjusting blinds can be time-consuming, especially if you have a larger home with multiple blinds. Motorised blinds remove that hassle by giving you effortless control at any time.
With Ziptrak® motorised blinds, all it takes is a single click or voice command to adjust them. You can even move up to 5 blinds at once, making it easy to manage light and privacy throughout your home.
And for those with a structured routine, the Somfy® or Dooya® app used with Ziptrak® adds another layer of convenience. It allows you to automate exactly when your blinds open or close.
For example, you can set a schedule for Ziptrak® blinds to open or close based on your daily routine. If you want the blinds to lower automatically during the hottest time of day, the app can schedule that.
Alternatively, you may want outdoor blinds to be reactive to weather events like precipitation. In that case, you can pair them and the app with weather sensors to close the blinds automatically when it starts to rain.
These automations can even contribute to energy savings. By keeping excess heat out during the day, they may reduce the need for air conditioning, which can in turn help to lower electricity costs over time.
Built for quiet and durability
Motorised Ziptrak® blinds use the world-renowned Somfy® motors from France. Known for quiet operation, these motors allow the blinds to run smoothly and with minimal noise.
At the same time, these motors have been engineered for daily use, giving homeowners the benefit of quiet operation without sacrificing durability.
Because the Ziptrak® design relies on a track-guided system, the motorised blinds also boast low maintenance requirements and high reliability. This is especially noticeable in comparison to traditional chain-operated alternatives.
Motorised Ziptrak® blinds are designed to stay smooth over years of use, with reduced risk of wear or misalignment even with frequent operation.
Unique features for universal usability
Ziptrak® offers a number of unique features that set it apart from other blinds, including other automatic blinds. Below are some of the most popular among homeowners:
- Patented track-guided system: The Ziptrak® side spline was inspired by the high-performance sail splines used in sailboats. It anchors the blind fabric tightly to the track for a complete seal. The result is improved light control and protection from the elements even in extreme weather conditions.
- PestOut® pelmet: The Ziptrak® pelmet is designed with built-in brushes that clean the blinds each time they’re moved. By incorporating self-cleaning into the blind’s daily operation, maintenance is reduced. This keeps the fabric in optimal condition for longer.
- Customisable materials: Ziptrak® blinds can also be customisable in a number of ways. The brand offers a wide selection of fabrics designed for both performance and aesthetics. They include rain-protection options, blackout options, and frosted options.
