High-tech fabrics for various fields of application

Sun protection textiles are technical fabrics whose function is to keep out too much heat and blinding sunlight. Sun protections installed on the outside reduce the effects of excessive heat. The warm sun rays are blocked before they hit the glass. In addition to this functional requirement, the textile also meets a decorative function. The sun protection textiles of heroal zip screens are made from durable, heavy textile qualities and very easy to clean and maintain, especially in comparison to venetian blinds. Furthermore, the screens used for heroal zip screens are water- and dirt-repellent, rot resistant, fungicidal, UV-resistant and permeable to air, and withstand all kinds of weather. The openness factor (OF) is a percentage indicating how much light will transmit through a fabric. The factor is about 14 % with an almost complete outward vision maintained, and 10 % with a generous vision. A factor of 4-5 % indicates a good outward view, whereas a factor of 0 % describes a complete blockout of light.

  • Textile allowing a clear view outside

    Sergé – clear view and wide range of design options

    This fabric is made of woven and coated glass fibres. The thread has a glass fibre core and an additional PVC coating. This way, especially smooth fabrics are manufactured. The fabric creates a comfortable atmosphere and ensures a clear view to the outside. The high-tech polyester textiles represent solutions that are always suitable, especially for high demands on design.

    Please find a selection of the wide range of colours and designs here.

  • Textile offering high stability of shape for large surfaces

    Soltis – for very high shape retention

    The basis for this fabric is a coated, pre-tensioned polyester fabric with a high tensile strength, also referred to as polyester textile. After the weaving process, the fabric is stretched in both directions under high tension, and then fixed using liquid PVC. This way, the resulting shape retention is very high, so that the textile, even under strong load, almost does not lose its shape. Through a combination of high fabric tension and low sagging, the sun protection fabric is very suitable for covering large surfaces. Please find a selection of more than 100 colours and designs of the fabric Soltis here.

  • Textile offering extremely high durability

    Orchestra - exclusive coating

    The sun protection fabric „Orchestra“ is made of very thin acrylic fibres.

Furthermore, the textile offers highest quality when it comes to colour retention and robustness.

FAQ

  • What are the advantages of a zip screen?

    Glare protection: Undisturbed use of daylight

    Textile zip screens protect you from direct sun radiation while still letting in natural daylight. The versatile fabric qualities offer a wide range of transparencies, from translucent to up to 100 % protection from sun and UV-radiation.

    No light leakage: Complete darkening of living area

    Through the gap between textile and window reveal, standard vertical awnings with rope or rail guidance may still let in some light, which may be quite disturbing. A zip screen, however, operates via a zip fastening system connected to the guide rails, leaving no gap for any light leakage. That way, a 100 % darkening of the living area can be achieved with a suitable fabric quality.

    Sight protection: Privacy at the push of a button

    Protect your privacy. Zip screens protect your home from unwanted prying eyes. At the push of a button, you create the privacy you need at home, while still letting in natural daylight into your living area.

    Heat protection: Enhancement of energy balance

    Since zip screens are installed outside, in front of the window, sliding door or curtain wall, they create an ideal room climate inside. The textile absorbs the sun rays before they hit the glass, and thus protects the room from heating up.

    Weather-resistant: Highest stability in any weather

    Thanks to the innovative zip technology, the textile is firmly held in its guide rails. Even with high wind speeds of up to 145 km/h, the zip screen does not deform or become loose.

    Design: Unobtrusive integration of sun protection at a later date

    Zip screens offer you a wide range of design options, from various different textiles and panel box variants to narrow guide rails and a fully concealed integration of the sun protection. Therefore, zip screens are ideally suited for a retrofit.

  • Why is the design of the zip screen heroal VS Z so subtle?

    Narrowest guide rail on the market

    The innovative zip fastening technology lends the heroal VS Z its special stability and a high textile tension. It is hidden in the guide rails at the sides of the sun protection. With a width of only 25 mm, the guide rail of the heroal VS Z is the narrowest on the market, allowing for a very discreet integration of the sun protection into the existing building shell - even if installed at a later date. This makes the zip screen heroal VS Z also very suitable for renovation.

    Various box sizes and variants

    The textile zip screen heroal VS Z winds in an extremely space-saving way, hence the sun protection requires only very small panel boxes ranging from 95 – 125 mm. The panel boxes are available in half-round, 90° and 45° designs. That way, heroal VS Z blends discreetly into the façade of a building.

    Concealed sun protection

    Depending on the installation situation, both guide rails and panel box can be completely plastered in. The zip screen becomes totally invisible from the outside. Especially for new buildings, we recommend to let the textile sun protection disappear in the façade – for an especially harmonious integration into the building shell.

  • Is the zip screen suitable for all kinds of window styles?

    Zip screens for wooden, PVC or aluminium windows
