Balconies are an integral part of condo living in Singapore, offering a private outdoor space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the city’s stunning skyline. However, the hot and humid tropical climate, along with frequent rain showers, can render a balcony less usable, if it is not well-protected from the elements. This is where blind systems with waterproof fabric come into play, providing an ideal solution to shield your outdoor space. Among the best options available, Ziptrak® Outdoor blinds with RainOut® fabric (created specifically for Singapore) have emerged as a popular choice for condo owners looking for maximum protection.
Why choose Waterproof Fabric?
Singapore’s weather can be unpredictable, with sudden downpours and intense sun exposure. Installing blinds with waterproof fabric ensures that your balcony remains protected from rain, dust and UV rays (for frosted and blackout options), while maintaining a cool and comfortable environment. Ziptrak® Outdoor blinds offers the RainOut® fabric series, which features several key benefits; whether you are hosting a gathering or simply enjoying a quiet moment on your balcony:
Protection Against Rain: Ziptrak® Outdoor blinds with RainOut® fabric series are made from high-quality, weather-resistant materials. Designed to perform year-round, these blinds keep your outdoor space sufficiently dry during unexpected showers, extending the life of your furniture and décor.
UV and heat Protection: The frosted and blackout RainOut® fabrics are also great at blocking out heat and harmful UV rays from direct sun, reducing overall heat in the balcony area.
Enhanced Privacy: In addition, the RainOut® frosted and blackout option also offers a higher level of privacy, preventing prying eyes from seeing into your condo when closed.
Increased retention of cooled air: If you prefer to have cooled air in your balcony space, waterproof fabric can retain the cooled air much better than porous fabrics. No matter how hot it gets outside, you can enjoy your balcony in cool, air-conditioned comfort.
Ziptrak® Outdoor blind system – Your Ideal Choice
Among the many options for balcony blinds in Singapore, Ziptrak® Outdoor blinds stand out as the ideal choice for modern condo living.
Ziptrak® Outdoor blinds are renowned for their simplicity and ease of use. With a simple pull or push action, you can adjust the blinds to your desired height without the need for cords, ropes, or handles. This effortless operation of the manual Ziptrak® blinds is a top choice for condo owners who want hassle-free functionality.
The motorised option offers a different level of convenience, as the blinds can be adjusted with a touch of a button for optimal light and privacy management. The blinds can also be programmed to open or close at specific times via the Somfy® App (using a WiFi bridge – Somfy® Tahoma), providing energy savings by regulating indoor temperature, and adding a layer of security by giving the appearance of an occupied space, even when no one is home.
With Ziptrak® Outdoor blinds, you can match or complement your existing decor with customised options for the track and channel, bottom bar and pelmet. Whether you want a modern or a more traditional finish, the blinds can be customised to suit your style or your MCST requirements, adding both aesthetic value and functionality to your balcony space.
In Singapore’s ever-changing climate, especially during the monsoon seasons, having the right balcony blind system and fabric is essential to making the most of your outdoor space, regardless of the weather. Ziptrak® offers the perfect solution to transforming your condo balcony into a comfortable and protected area. Whether you are looking to shield your balcony from rain or enhance its overall aesthetic, Ziptrak® Outdoor blinds with RainOut® fabric are a must-have for condo owners.
