When you’re planning an outdoor space that’s both stylish and functional, Ziptrak® are a popular choice. They help create privacy, block out wind and glare, and make outdoor areas more usable all year round. But what’s the real Ziptrak® price in Australia? That’s something we’re often asked, especially by homeowners around the Yarra Valley who are renovating or settling into a new property.
Whether you’re hosting a weekend barbecue or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, having the right outdoor blinds can make all the difference. Ziptrak® are designed to suit our local lifestyle, offering protection without closing you off from the outside. They’re practical, durable, and a smart addition to any renovation project. We’ve put together a straightforward breakdown of what you can expect when budgeting for ziptrak®, plus a few key factors that influence the price.
What Are Ziptrak®?
Before we get into the costs, let’s look at what Ziptrak® actually are. You might have seen them around but not known the name. These are outdoor blinds that work similarly to indoor roller blinds, but they’re built to handle Australia’s outdoor conditions. The “zip” element refers to the hidden side channels that hold the fabric in place. This keeps the blinds taut, reduces flapping in the wind, and gives a cleaner, more secure finish.
We offer ZipTrak®, a trusted brand known for outdoor durability and easy operation. You can learn more about the system on our ZipTrak® page.
How Much Do Ziptrak® Cost?
There’s no single price that suits every setup, but as a guide, ziptrak® typically start from $1,200 to $1,500 per blind for standard installations. For larger outdoor spaces or fully motorised systems, you could be looking at $2,000 or more per blind.
Here’s what influences the final cost:
- Size of the blind: Larger openings mean more materials and higher costs.
- Fabric type: Clear PVC, mesh, or blockout fabric options all come at different price points.
- Operation type: Manual blinds are more affordable. Motorised blinds cost more but offer added convenience.
- Installation requirements: Difficult access, custom framing, or additional support structures will add to the price.
- Accessories: Pelmets, side tracks, and bottom seals can be added for a neater finish or better weather protection, but they come at an extra cost.
