Zip Screen Technology & Wind Resistance - Technical Specifications

Zip Screen Technology: Engineered Shading for Extreme Environments

Zip Screens represent the pinnacle of outdoor shading engineering. Unlike traditional roller systems, Zip Screens are designed to provide a hermetically sealed environment, capable of withstanding significant atmospheric pressure.

1. The Zipper Channel Mechanism

The core innovation is the high-frequency welded zipper system attached to the fabric edges. This zipper is locked into self-lubricating PVC inserts within the aluminum side tracks.

  • 100% Perimeter Seal: Eliminates light gaps and prevents fabric blow-outs.

  • Insect Protection: Acts as a hermetically sealed barrier when fully deployed, ideal for dining patios.

  • Smooth Operation: Tension-balanced tracking for silent and consistent movement.

2. Fabric Technology: Solar Heat Management

We utilize micro-perforated technical textiles from global leaders Serge Ferrari (France) and Copaco (Belgium).
Solar Rejection: Blocks up to 90% of heat before* it reaches the glazing.

  • UV Shielding: Capped at 99% protection, preventing interior furniture degradation.

  • Visual Transparency: 3% - 5% openness factor allows for external views while maintaining privacy.

3. Wind Resistance & Reliability

systems are certified for high-velocity environments, making them suitable for coastal resorts and high-rise balconies.

  • Certification: Tested up to Class 6 Wind Load (steady speeds of 130 km/h).

  • Durability: All aluminum components are 6063-T6 grade with thermoset powder coating.
