SHYZIP®​ Introduction

Tired of flimsy Zip Blinds that get pulled out of their side channels? Use SHYZIP, the patented Zip Track system from Japan. Now you can enjoy your balcony space confidently with peace of mind for years to come.

At Direct Curtain, we know that you want to make great use of the balcony. In order to do that, most owners install Zip Blinds to protect the balcony from outdoor elements.

The problem is there are many low-quality zip blinds that are ripped out of the side tracks just within 1-2 years. Worst of all, there is no proper after-sales support. (We have to turn down a lot of requests to repair those as we were not their original vendor.)

We firmly believe that homeowners should not overpaying for a lousy product that will not last long.

As homeowners ourselves, we understand that and care about having a long-lasting product in our homes, which is why we offer a strong 5 Year Warranty on the SHYZIP system.

Here’s how you can get the SHYZIP:

1. You can get an instant estimate using our online catalog. (Or whatsapp us your floor-plan.)

2. Arrange for a site-survey. (Nominal fee of $50, which will be offset from confirmed order. Essentially FREE.)

3. Finish installation and enjoy the new balcony space!

(Do check your colour codes with the MA office to see if our fabrics can match the colours.)

So you can stop wasting your balcony space and instead reclaim the new space to fully make use of it!

Features of the SHYZip Blind

SHYZIP Zip Fastener welded to fabric with Inner Rail and Cushion Gum in Side Channel

Patented SHY®​ ​Zip Fastener System

The secret of the SHY® system lies in its special Zip ribbon, which is welded strongly to the blind fabric. The Zip is then held securely in the specially designed aluminium Side Track. This design allows the Zip to run smoothly yet tightly locked even under strong wind. The resulting SHYZIP® system offers excellent wind resistance with unparalleled stability.

Neat & Stylish Design

The SHYZIP® system has a beautiful modern look with its rectangular pelmet cover design. The side track also gives a clean and minimalist look with the “screw-less” design.

Important Notes on Zip Blinds

If you have not used Zip Blinds before, there are a couple of pointers to take note. Please click on them to learn more.

Zip Blinds use perforated sunscreen mesh fabrics to filter out the strong sun glare and heat.

These fabrics have tiny holes and allow you to enjoy outside scenery view during daytime, while providing you with privacy as people standing outside cannot see in.

The opposite happens as night falls, you will not be able to view outside and if your ceiling light is turned on, someone standing outside can view inwards.

In summary, the “dark side” will be able to view the “bright side”.

Zip Blinds fabrics are perforated with very tiny holes (1% perforation). They can still block normal rain splashes well. But when strong wind blows the rain towards the blind, a bit of rain water will still seep through the tiny holes. Please be mindful that the Zip Blind system is not a 100% watertight solution.

The Zip Blind has a typical max width of 5m. However that max width is only doable for ground units. For condos and etc, a more practical width is around 2.7-2.8m so as to be able to go into the lift. Sometimes, if the balcony width is about 3.5m, you might be able do one wide piece but we will need to climb stairs with additional labour cost. Anything wider than that, you’ll have to split the blinds into 2 sets.
For condos with a MA, the colours would have already been determined by the management. Do check with them on the approved colour codes. They would have a sample in their office. We should be able to match 90% of the fabric colours in the market. For the frame colours, no problem at all as we offer free powder coating for now.

A normal 3-pin socket power point is required. Cable casing will be laid to the nearest point. If there is no existing power socket in the balcony, you will need to hire your own certified electrician to fix it up.

As the fabric is an outdoor mesh by nature, it will naturally have minor imperfections due to its flexible weave material. Crease lines & minor “distortions” in the mesh are to be expected, especially in areas near the side tracks. This is especially true as the blind has been rolled up during storage & transport.

Leave the blind down for a few days, over time & under sunlight, some creases/distortions may disappear while others remain. This is not a cause for concern and is considered standard.

One should NOT expect the zip blind to have a solid smooth surface as the fabric will expand & contract when subject to rain, sun & wind over time.

What our happy clients say.

We had a great experience working with Direct Curtain to install Zip Blinds in our balcony. The team was always prompt and responsive, and the measurement and installation process was fuss free. Their price was reasonable as well. Will definitely go back to them in the future!

Yini Chua
I had meetings with some of zip track servicing companies and chose Direct Curtain with their prompt and clear feedback to my satisfaction. While their technicians work for installing Shy Zips and Venetian blinds/curtains for my new unit, I was quite impressed with their professional and quality works in pursuit of preciseness. Though quoted prices can be seen as if it is expensive compared with other quotations from neighbour service providers, my family is very satisfied with all of Shy Zips, Venetian blinds, etc. that they installed for my unit.

정정훈

A breakaway from traditions where brokers are displaced by robots, driving lower overheads and higher efficiency. This is Direct Curtain. 11 sets of smart home zip blinds were installed professionally within 10hrs end to end all inclusive is superb productivity, translating into reasonable quotes to customers with NO compromises on quality or support. I like Direct Curtain. Alot. And I’m confident you will, too. 6 stars, not 5.

FAQ for SHYZIP Blinds

S.H.Y. are the initials from the founder’s name, Seizo HaYashicughi. Combining it with “Zip” from Zip Blinds, we get SHYZIP ®.

(Sometimes, people also refer to them as SHY ZIP.)

SHYZIP ® was first invented in 1985 and has been around for more than 38 years. It has been installed in many different parts around the world!

The core parts of the SHYZIP® system are the pelmet cassette, the side tracks and the SHY® Zip fastener system. These are imported from Japan by a local sole distributor in Singapore.

We complement the rest of the blind system by using USA Phifer fabric and China Dooya motor.

Zip Blind is the general category name for such blinds. (Other common names include Zip Track Blinds, Zip Track, Track-Guided Blinds, Windproof Blinds and etc.)

Ziptrak (without the ‘c’) is a brand that hails from Australia, alongside with Zipscreen.

There are many other brands from different vendors, just like DirectZip™ is our own in-house brand, and SHYZIP® is from Japan.

All above mentioned brands fall under the general “Zip Blinds” category for such outdoor blinds.

Definitely so.

Take a $1.5M condo for example. Assume the balcony is 2.5m length by 1.5m width, which works out to be 40 sq ft floor area for the balcony.

If the whole condo floor area was 1000 sq ft, that balcony space would have cost about $60k, which is a pretty expensive outdoor space. If your balcony is larger in space, it will had cost even more!

By investing in the SHYZIP Blind, you now get to “enclose” the outdoor balcony and extend your indoor living space, which now makes it more worthwhile with the additional space.

Furthermore, the SHYZIP system has a strong 5-years guarantee that the fabric will never get ripped out of the side tracks. Enjoy your new space with peace of mind!

The SHYZIP® Zip Blind use a special patented SHYZIP fastener system to secure the blind fabric onto the side tracks.

This setup allows the blind to roll up and down smoothly and still prevent the blind from flapping under wind.

The SHYZIP system is exceptionally strong and guarantees that the blind fabric will never tear from the side tracks, even under strong wind condition.
