Just how durable is the ZST Telescopic Rod?

The ZST Telescopic Rod. A classic Fakro essential used to operate those hard to reach Fakro windows and all of those Fakro blinds. Well, all except Fakro pleated blinds. Sorry pleated blinds fans. But what of the rod?

Let’s take a look up close and personal with the one and only, Fakro ZST telescopic Rod.

Standard length ZST Telescopic Rod

So here is the rod at its basic, standard length. Not a bad reach by any means. It'll do the job for you when called upon. But what if you need a little more reach?

Maximum length ZST Telescopic Rod

Yes it’s an extender! That’s right, check out the reach on that beauty. You don’t just have to extend it to the rod’s maximum power, it has a few slots there so you can adjust the rod to a length that suits you. In fact, here are the finer details:

Standard length: 119cm

Extends up to: 134cm, 164cm, 190cm, 218cm.

The ZSP Control rod extension can boost this length to up to 330cm! Wowsers.

But back to the title question. How durable is the ZST telescopic rod? Well, you see, this blog post was inspired by an accidental drop test. A couple of days ago, our showroom ZST Rod had accidentally fallen from the top floor of the showroom to the bottom floor. Gasp!

Undamaged: ZST Rod "Is that all you've got?"

Fear not, the rod was perfectly fine! It survived unscathed and ready for another day of hard work. Nothing broken, not it's circular end piece nor it's spirit. What a trooper.

The height of which it dropped, according to my calculations, was roughly equal to a medium-sized bear standing on a coffee table. Also, the floor surface was not carpeted or laminated either! Well done, ZST Rod. Nothing phases you.

So there you have it, indisputable scientific evidence that the ZST Rod is one tough cookie that will be there for you when you need it most, and won’t judge you if you do accidentally drop it, though it may be slightly wary of you in the future.

If your special ZST Rod does happen to break or sustain some kind of damage, not to worry, we will get a replacement sent out to you in a giffy! No fuss. Just call us or email us.

Next week, I'll show you how ZST Rod's operate the windows and blinds in detail!
