We cannot really comment on our competitors’ warranties. Here at Aurora Designs, we only work with quality locally owned companies who offer us extended warranties. We pass them on to our customers and add some additional warranty at our own cost for the peace of mind of our customers. This is one of the many things that sets our service apart from the rest here in Canberra. We have the best quality products and back that up with the best warranties and the best after sales service.
The eZIP Outdoor Blinds are designed to withstand moderate wind conditions. For added protection, it can be fitted with an optional wind sensor that will automatically retract the blind during high winds or unexpected gusts. Whilst many products on the market will claim wind tolerances of over 100kph, like the eZIP, we don’t recommend leaving them down in such conditions and common sense should prevail, hence why an affordable sensor is the right solution.
