mc.2 Unveils MAGNAZip+: A New Benchmark in Zip Blind Technology, Backed by an 8-Year Warranty
Addressing Common Issues of Traditional Zip Blinds
Zip blinds have become a popular choice in Singapore for enhancing outdoor living spaces. However, many homeowners with traditional zip systems have experienced frustrations such as fabric distortion and poor wind performance. These issues often lead to "smiley face"-like creases and loose, sagging fabric when the wind blows, affecting both the appearance and functionality of the blinds.
“MAGNAZip was developed specifically to resolve the common issues homeowners face with first-generation systems,” says Mr. Wilson Chew, Founder and Managing Director at mc.2. “Building on the success, we’ve now created a stronger, more durable version - MAGNAZip+ - that delivers on everything homeowners have trusted about our original MAGNAZip system but with even greater performance and peace of mind.”
Stronger, Smarter, and Improved Structural Integrity
The most significant structural improvement in MAGNAZip+ is its reinforced zip fastener system. Where the original MAGNAZip uses a zip width of up to 15mm, MAGNAZip+ steps up to 23mm, providing a fuller, tighter seal along the entire length of the side track. This enhanced contact area is critical in high-wind conditions, preventing the blind from billowing, misaligning, or stressing the fabric at the track interface.
The 4.7-metre panel width, a 24% increase over its predecessor, enables coverage of wider openings with a single panel, which is particularly advantageous for the expansive open balconies and glass-fronted terraces common in newer condominium developments. Complementing this is a 25mm welder bar (more than double that of the original system’s 12mm), ensuring enhanced stitching where the fabric meets its structural anchor points.
MAGNAZip+ is powered by the Somfy motor, a globally recognised benchmark for motorised blind systems, delivering smooth and consistent operation throughout the product’s lifespan. The Somfy-driven system is compatible with smart home integration, enabling control via smartphone or voice command for homeowners who value convenience and connectivity.
Underpinning all of this is mc.2’s commitment to quality assurance through its in-house manufacturing capability. The MAGNAZip+ is fabricated using state-of-the-art welding machinery to ensure stitching precision that extends the operational lifespan of the system well beyond that of standard market alternatives.
The warranty coverage has also been substantially strengthened. MAGNAZip+ carries an 8-year warranty covering both parts and labour, up from the 5-year parts-only coverage of the original system. This extended commitment reflects mc.2’s confidence in the durability of the improvements made, and its accountability to customers long after installation.
MAGNAZip vs MAGNAZip+: At a Glance
To serve the full spectrum of homeowner needs, mc.2 continues to offer both MAGNAZip and the enhanced MAGNAZip+. The original MAGNAZip remains a dependable and cost-effective choice for standard balcony applications, whilst MAGNAZip+ is the recommended option for homeowners seeking greater structural performance, wider spatial coverage, and the added assurance of an extended warranty.
