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.)

Stop wasting your balcony space. Reclaim the space to fully make use of it.

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.

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.

USA SheerWeave® Fabrics

SheerWeave® fabrics are manufactured by PHIFER USA in their state-of-the-art facility with the highest standards. These fabrics diffuse light while greatly reducing glare and heat, helping you to create a comfortable space to enjoy in.

DOOYA Tubular Motor

DOOYA® is a leading global manufacturer from China with more than 130 registered patents. It implements the international standard: ISO 9001 quality management system, resulting in a high quality motor that is highly efficient for your SHY Zip Blind.

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. While we do have the MaxiView technology to do single super wide piece, the extra high cost is not worth it. Especially when most owners prefer to have more panels for flexibility, so they can close off a portion partially.

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 up one point.

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.

Verified Customer Reviews

What happy customers say about us on Facebook and Google.
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.
