The Fremantle Doctor vs Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds 💨

Every Perth local knows the Fremantle Doctor. Calm morning. Strong afternoon sea breeze. And when it rolls in, it doesn’t hold back.

When wind hits an outdoor blind, the pressure created can be similar to placing a heavy weight against it. That is where engineering makes the difference.

Ziptrak® Outdoor Blinds have been tested on a 2.5m x 2.5m blind using recommended fixings for windy areas. In controlled lab testing, the system was subjected to a static load exceeding 750kg – equivalent to wind speeds of more than 160km/hr.

The side spline was also horizontally pull-tested to the equivalent of 1200kg on one side of a 2.5m blind – more than three times the force exerted on the tracks during 160km/hr winds.

In short, the Fremantle Doctor can blow. Ziptrak® is built to stay put.

No zips – despite the name. Just a purpose-designed, track-guided system engineered to resist extreme side forces and remain in the tracks.

• Withstands wind speeds up to 160km/hr
• Tested using Ziptrak®-recommended fixings
• Designed for Mesh and Clear PVC
• Available in manual spring-balanced or motorised systems

If you live near the coast or in an exposed Perth suburb, wind resistance is not a bonus feature. It is essential.

If the Fremantle Doctor is a regular guest at your place, it is worth installing blinds designed to handle it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All About Shades. WOW!! What a great team. Last week I spoke to Jacinta the Owner and other office personnel over the phone about technical matters of our Outdoor Ziptrack Blinds and Indoor Shutters. Their level of expertise, problem solving, business acumen and response to my requirements was at a very high level of professionalism second to none. My wife and I were greeted today by the presence of Fred from their technical services & Installation department. Great staff presentation, fast and efficient work ethic whilst onsite. What a compassionate and sincere demeanor Fred has on behalf of the company. I would always highly recommend All About Shades to all that desire in dealing with a market leader in its industry.
