Choosing the right window treatment is essential in creating a comfortable and cosy indoor environment for your home – and one of the top choices for many homeowners in Singapore is the Ziptrak® Internal Blackout Blinds!
Besides giving unparalleled shade and privacy, these blackout blinds offer many more benefits to enhance your indoor experience.
Today, we’ll walk you through the key factors to consider when purchasing Ziptrak® Internal Blackout Blinds!
What are Ziptrak® Internal Blackout Blinds?
Ziptrak® Internal Blackout Blinds are a window treatment designed to effectively block out light during the day, perfect for spaces such as the living room, master bedroom, home cinema, or any area that requires a certain level of darkness.
Many consider these blinds a versatile design asset because they do more than just regulate natural light, they also provide heat insulation. When used properly, they can help reduce energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills.
Another great benefit of these blinds is enhanced indoor privacy. They’re made from a special type of fabric that prevents outsiders from seeing what’s happening inside, which may deter potential intruders.
Why do you need Ziptrak® Internal Blackout Blinds?
Not every situation calls for blackout blinds, but there are quite a few good reasons to incorporate them into your home in Singapore.
One of the main reasons people invest in blackout blinds is to improve the quality of their sleep. If you’re sensitive to light, having the right window treatment prevents you from waking up at an inconvenient time, resulting in longer and better sleep quality.
This is especially important if you live in a busy area exposed to a lot of artificial light, such as streetlights, shop signs, and security lights.
Blackout blinds could also be a great home addition if you live with children. Nurseries often require these blinds to help growing children get the right amount of sleep every day.
Tips for choosing Ziptrak® Internal Blackout Blinds for your home
1. Understand the different types of blackout shades
The first thing you have to do is to familiarise yourself with the different types of fabric and shades available.
Ziptrak® blinds come in a wide range of fabrics that provide varying levels of shade and privacy. The type of fabric you select is essential because it determines whether the blinds will ultimately meet your needs and preferences.
Make sure to look for fabrics that are specifically made for blackout purposes. These fabrics are usually made with multiple layers or come with a special lining that blocks out light.
2. Know the measurements of your windows
Of course, you can’t pick the right window treatment if you don’t know the measurements of your windows.
Before anything else, measure the width and height of the windows where you plan to install your blinds.
For a perfect fit and complete light blockage, measure at multiple points to make way for variations.
3. Consider the room you want to install it in
Ziptrak®’s blackout blinds come with different levels of light blockage. Most provide total darkness, while others allow some light to enter the space.
Take time to assess whether a room requires total darkness or if it would benefit from slightly filtered natural light.
For example, bedrooms and entertainment rooms usually require a higher level of light blockage, while living rooms and kitchens would look best with some level of natural light in the morning.
