Luxa 100T — Horizontal Top Screen
Formerly known as Luxa 100T — Horizontal Top Screen
ZIP 100TA horizontal zip screen designed for pergola and veranda roofs — fabric tensioned across the underside of the roof to filter sun, glare, and heat. Used over Sereno 700, Vetra WG, or any flat roof up to 6×4 m. Motorised, RAL frame.
When even bioclimatic louvres need a softer light.
The Sereno 700 louvres tilt to 115°, but at noon some terraces still need a softer touch — afternoon sun raking across glass walls, glare on a screen, heat radiating off polished stone. The Tela 100T runs a tensioned fabric across the underside of the pergola or veranda roof. Press a button and the fabric extends along precision rails, kept flat against gravity by counter-tension springs. Light is filtered, not blocked; the louvres above can stay open for ventilation. Compatible with Luxa Sereno 700, Vetra WG, Vetra Cube, and most flat aluminium roofs up to 6×4 m. Aluminium cassette, fabric range 350-450 g/m² translucent, any RAL frame colour. RTS motor IP44, wind class 2.

PRODUCT ANSWERS
Practical answers about Luxa Tela 100T.
Use these answers when comparing a horizontal top ZIP screen for pergola, veranda or roof-glazing shading projects.
What is Luxa Tela 100T used for?
Luxa Tela 100T is used as a horizontal or roof-mounted ZIP screen route where glare, heat and overhead sunlight need to be controlled above a pergola, veranda or glazed opening.
Compare ZIP screens →When is a top ZIP screen better than a vertical ZIP screen?
Choose a top ZIP screen when the main solar gain comes from the roof or overhead glazing; choose a vertical ZIP screen when the exposed side or facade opening is the problem.
Compare vertical screen →What should be checked before quotation?
Confirm roof opening size, mounting surface, fabric tension path, drainage or gutter interaction, wind exposure, motor route and whether the screen pairs with a pergola or veranda.
