Screen roller
The classic screen roller blind operates on the principle of free fabric movement within side guides, with a weighted bottom bar held in place by the guides. This system is suitable for smaller windows and balcony doors where a basic level of shading and sun protection is needed, and where there is little exposure to strong weather conditions. The classic screen roller is primarily recommended for smaller windows in areas with low wind levels. In all other cases, the ZIP screen system is generally advised due to its numerous advantages, offering better stability, protection, and long-lasting functionality.
ZIP Screen roller
The ZIP screen roller blind is a more advanced version of the screen shading system, operating on a zipper principle. A special zipper is welded to the edges of the fabric and guided along the side tracks, offering numerous advantages compared to the classic system.
Advantages of the ZIP Screen Roller Blind
Tensioned Fabric – Thanks to the zipper system, the fabric remains taut in all positions, ensuring a flawless appearance of the blind.
High Wind Resistance – The fabric stays securely in the side tracks even during strong gusts of wind, making the ZIP system ideal for windy areas. It can withstand wind speeds of up to 120 km/h.
Complete Blackout – When combined with blackout fabric, the ZIP screen roller can provide total darkness in the room.
Insect Protection – The fully enclosed blind effectively prevents insects from entering your home or office.
Wind Protection – The ZIP screen system allows for the installation of transparent, crystal-reinforced fabric, which offers excellent wind protection and is a great solution for terraces, hospitality spaces, and other outdoor areas.
Which System to Choose?
If you need basic shading and sun protection, the classic screen roller blind is a good choice for smaller windows that are not exposed to wind. However, if you're looking for a more robust solution that offers wind resistance, complete blackout, and additional insect protection, the ZIP screen system is the better option.
Due to its numerous advantages, the ZIP screen system is generally the preferred and recommended choice, as it offers greater stability, protection, and long-lasting functionality.
Regardless of your choice, both systems provide a modern shading solution that enhances living comfort while also contributing to the building’s energy efficiency.
