ZIP SCREEN SHADING

Zip screen exterior shading for windows, pergolas and facades

Compare motorised, manual and solar zip screen routes for privacy, glare control and weather exposure.

How to choose

  • Use motorised screens for daily facade control.
  • Use manual screens where wiring and automation are not required.
  • Use solar screens when independent operation is valuable.

Short answer

Zip screen exterior shading for windows, pergolas and facades

A zip screen project is selected by opening size, wind exposure, fabric openness, control method and fixing surface; motorised, manual and solar routes should be compared before a quote.

Project selection checkpoints

  • Measure the opening width, height and fixing depth before choosing cassette and guide options.
  • Review wind exposure, facade orientation and fabric openness before selecting the system route.
  • Confirm wiring access, solar suitability or manual operation before finalizing controls.

Country and regulation note

Exterior shading may be affected by facade rules, wind exposure and building-management requirements. Local installer and project authority checks remain necessary for each country.

Project FAQ

Motorised, manual or solar zip screen?

Choose by wiring, usage frequency and installation context. The opening size and wind exposure still need review.

Can zip screens add privacy?

Fabric choice can balance daylight, solar control and outside visibility before final selection.

What should be checked before ordering?

Check opening dimensions, guide fixing, wind exposure, power access and fabric transparency target.
