It depends on your choice of fabric. Porous fabrics do not significantly reduce external noise. However, blackout fabrics can reduce noise to some extent, resulting in a noticeable difference.
Preliminary tests at a high-traffic test site revealed a 30% reduction in external noise (5 to 6dB)
Zipblind® are very capable of keeping cold air in, but they should not be expected to completely keep cold air in. The amount of cold air that Zipblind® will keep will be determined by the fabric you choose.
Porous weave fabrics make it possible for cold air to escape more easily.
Non-porous fabrics, on the other hand, are significantly more effective at conserving cold air within the area as they do not allow air to pass through.
Zipblind® are very capable of keeping the rain out, although they do not guarantee total water tightness. The amount of rain protection offered by track-guided blinds is largely dictated by the fabric used. When there is little to no wind, the bulk of the rainwater simply runs down the exterior of the blind and down to the ground.
Porous weave fabrics will allow more water to pass through, especially when there is a strong wind blowing strongly against the blind. Non-porous fabrics do not allow water to pass through and therefore offer better rain protection. However, in heavy rain and strong winds, some water may enter via the Zipblind® system.
ZipBlind® will not have a smiley face at all.
