Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our zip screen and shading systems.
A zip screen system is an advanced exterior shading solution where the fabric is guided by side rails using a zip mechanism. This creates a sealed, wind-resistant screen that provides superior protection against sun, heat, wind, rain and insects while maintaining outward visibility.
Our 100mm cassette systems are tested to withstand winds up to 100 km/h, while our heavy-duty 125mm cassette systems can resist winds up to 130 km/h. This makes them suitable for exposed coastal and high-rise installations across Europe.
We exclusively use premium screen fabrics from Serge Ferrari and Copaco. These technical fabrics offer excellent UV protection (up to 97%), heat reflection, and durability. They are available in various openness factors (1%, 3%, 5%, 10%) and over 50 colours.
