Luxa 100 Zip Screen Blinds
Formerly known as Luxa 100 Zip Screen Blinds
ZIP 100A motorised zip screen that lowers a tensioned fabric panel between aluminium rails — sun control, wind shelter, mosquito barrier in one. Used on windows, terraces, and pergola sides. Engineered in Germany. Up to 6 m wide, 200+ fabric colours, any RAL frame.
Pull a screen down. Keep the breeze. Lose the glare.
Late afternoon, the sun has rounded the corner and the terrace is glaring. Press a button and the fabric lowers between the side rails — locked at every height by the zip system, tensioned even in project-reviewed gusts. The view stays open through the screen. The breeze stays. The glare goes. Tela 100 fits windows for façade shading, terrace fronts for evening privacy, and pergola sides for full enclosure. Aluminium cassette, fabric weight options from 350 to 600 g/m², any RAL colour. RTS motor IP44, wind class 3 to EN 13561. Compatible with cloud hub, Alexa, and Google Home.

The fabric edge is locked into sealed aluminium side channels by an integrated zipper running the full height. This eliminates flapping, billowing, and gaps that affect conventional roller blinds. The Luxa 100 is reviewed by project for wind exposure, fabric selection and opening size — suitable for exposed terraces, coastal locations and high-rise facades after project check.
Yes. The screen fabric filters natural daylight while blocking direct sun glare and outside visibility. Depending on the fabric openness factor (1%, 3%, 5%, or 10%), you control the balance between transparency and privacy. Darker fabrics provide better outward visibility; lighter fabrics offer more privacy.
Width: 900–4,000 mm. Height: 500–3,500 mm. Maximum area: 12.5 m² per screen. For larger openings, multiple screens can be installed side by side with minimal gap between cassettes.
Yes. The Luxa 100 is designed for integration with pergola systems (Luxa Sereno 700, Luxa 800, Luxa WG) as side closure. It provides wind protection, sun shading, insect screening, and partial rain protection. The cassette mounts directly to the pergola beam profile.
Multiple fabric types: screen mesh (various openness factors from 1% to 10%), blackout (full privacy), insect mesh (ventilation with bug protection), and transparent PVC (rain view). Fabric colours available in a wide palette to match architecture and interior design.
Yes. With insect mesh fabric, the sealed ZIP channels create a gap-free barrier against mosquitoes, flies, and other insects while maintaining full airflow. The zip mechanism ensures no gaps at the sides — unlike conventional fly screens.
Clean the fabric with lukewarm water and mild soap 2–3 times per year. Brush the aluminium guide channels to remove dust and debris. The motor is a sealed service component. The fabric can be replaced without removing the cassette housing. Do not use high-pressure washers on the fabric.
Yes. Connect a wind sensor and/or sun sensor to automatically retract the screen in high winds or deploy it when sun intensity exceeds a set threshold. Rain sensors can also trigger automatic retraction to protect the fabric.
The price depends on dimensions, fabric type, colour, and automation accessories. The Luxa 100 is positioned as a premium motorised solution at a more accessible price point than comparable European-brand equivalents. Request a personalised quote from your PONARC dealer.
