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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• Zip screens – the solution for discreet sun protection
  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.

• 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.
