An enhanced version of the popular PolyWeave 1% fabric, FabricWeave 1% is available only in Singapore, providing homes with stronger weather protection, increased indoor privacy, and improved ventilation.

As one of the most effective indoor blinds for airflow, Ziptrak® combines comfort, weather protection, improved ventilation through its unique construction, so let’s explore what makes it a worthwhile investment for homeowners.

What is Ziptrak® 's Fiberweave 1%?

The first thing you have to know about Fiberweave 1% is that it’s designed to endure Singapore’s intense heat and humidity, along with its frequent sudden downpours,, keeping your space comfortable year-around.

It’s Ziptrak®’s answer to keeping rain out of your space, improving thermal retention, and reducing outside noise, all while allowing as much natural light as possible into your home. It’s also built with more robust, high-quality materials, making it a durable, long-lasting addition to your space.

How does the Fiberweave 1% work?

Among the fabric’s standout features are the high-quality and durable fibreglass composition, effective noise-reducing properties, and thermal comfort.

The entire fabric is made from treated fibreglass and waterproof materials, making it highly durable and resistant to minor wear and tear. It is superior to polymer fabrics, which are commonly used in many blinds on the market.

That means it can withstand heat, ultraviolet rays, and maintain dimensional stability under thermal and wind loads. You won’t have to worry about it easily tearing after exposure to heavy rain and strong winds. 

While the materials may be tougher, the fabric remains translucent to allow as much sunlight to pass through as possible, ensuring that your space enjoys as much natural light during the day.

Additionally, Fiberweave 1% diffuses glare during the day and obscures the view from the outside as well, so passersby won’t be able to see what’s happening inside.

The fabric is available in a wide range of colours, allowing you to achieve an enhanced level of security and privacy at home. There are options that offer both minimal and maximum visibility, depending on your preferences.

When it comes to noise reduction, the fabric has been independently tested and verified to reduce ambient noise levels by 11.9 dB. That’s a rare feature among blinds available in Singapore. For context, a 10 dB reduction generally means that a sound can be heard only half as loud.

Finally, if you opt for the track-guided system, you can enjoy a cooler and more comfortable space throughout the day because the cool indoor air is retained, effectively lowering your electricity consumption. This means lower utility bills and greater savings moving forward.

Do I need to obtain permits to install Ziptrak® Fiberweave 1%?

The fabric itself is available in various condominium-friendly colours, so it is designed to comply with general condominium and apartment guidelines in Singapore. After all, it was created specifically for the Singaporean market.

Although it diffuses light, obscures the view from the outside, and blocks certain weather elements, it does not contain materials that go against window and balcony guidelines. It’s just made from durable but permeable materials.

You also don’t need to tamper with any existing barriers or railings during installation. The entire blinds system is installed within your space’s existing physical boundaries.

Keep in mind that since condominiums across the island have different rules and regulations, the final decision will still depend on your management or owners’ association.
