EXTERIOR ZIP-GUIDED SCREEN SYSTEMS FOR SOLAR CONTROL.

Zip Screen Blinds

Exterior zip-guided screen systems for solar control.

SPECIFIER PROOF

ZIP screens specified by control type and site condition

The Tela ZIP screen range is organised around real project choices: motorised facade shading, no-wiring manual control, solar retrofit, fabric openness and horizontal roof screening for pergolas or verandas.

Wind-stable side guidance

The category copy surfaces the ZIP-guided principle buyers compare against standard roller blinds: fabric retained inside aluminium side channels for a taut exterior screen.

  • Zip-guided channels with integrated zipper
  • Precision fabric tension
  • Exterior sun, wind and weather-protection use

Control options by project

Model choice is clear before the product detail page: powered convenience, manual no-wiring operation, solar retrofit or roof-mounted top screening.

  • Motorised Tela 100
  • Manual Tela 100M
  • Solar-powered Tela 100S and top-mount Tela 100T

Practical sizing and service signals

Visible technical details help dealers and homeowners qualify a lead before requesting a quote, fabric recommendation or technical reference package.

  • Max area 12.5 m2 on core models
  • Covered panel design for maintenance access
  • Natural light with privacy

Fabric and facade planning

The page connects ZIP screen choice to fabric openness, facade exposure and coating references so exterior shading is treated as part of the building envelope.

  • Fabric openness selected by glare, privacy and view
  • Wind pre-check before exposed facade use
  • Coating references for cassettes and guide rails

Before fabric and control type are selected

Confirm opening size, facade fixing, fabric openness, wind exposure and motor/manual/solar preference so the screen is specified as an exterior shading system.

PRODUCT ANSWERS

Practical answers for ZIP screen specification

These answers turn the ZIP screen category into a decision route for exterior shading, facade comfort and retrofit projects.

Which LuxaShade ZIP screen model fits my project?

Use Tela 100 for motorised facade shading, Tela 100M when wiring is not wanted, Tela 100S for solar retrofit situations, and Tela 100T for horizontal top screening on pergolas or verandas.

Read wind and fabric guide

What should be checked before choosing ZIP screen fabric?

Check opening size, facade fixing, wind exposure, view requirement, glare target and privacy need. Fabric openness should be selected as part of the exterior shading system, not only as a colour choice.

Estimate shading impact

Can a ZIP screen replace indoor blinds?

A ZIP screen is an exterior solar-control product. It can reduce glare and heat before sunlight reaches the glass, while indoor blinds mainly manage privacy and glare after heat has entered the room.

Use the calculators and surface references to position a screen as exterior solar control rather than an indoor blind.

PROJECT SELECTION CHECKLIST

Project data that decides the ZIP screen route

Use this checklist before choosing Tela 100, 100M, 100S or 100T. It separates exterior solar-control projects from simple privacy-blind requests.

Opening and fixing
opening width, height, reveal depth, facade material and cassette position
Exposure
wind pressure, sun orientation, rain exposure and service-access constraints
Fabric target
glare control, heat reduction, outward view, privacy and colour coordination
Control type
motorised, manual no-wiring, solar retrofit or horizontal top-screen route
LuxaShade ZIP screens are built around four project routes: motorised Tela 100 for everyday facade shading, manual Tela 100M where wiring is not wanted, solar-powered Tela 100S for retrofit installations, and Tela 100T for horizontal pergola or veranda roof screening. All core vertical models use zip-guided side channels, balanced fabric and aluminium cassette detailing so the screen is specified as an exterior shading system rather than an indoor blind. For early project qualification, check the control method, cassette position, opening width, screen height and access for maintenance. The core Tela range supports made-to-measure exterior shading up to 12.5 m² on the main vertical models, with frame colour selected to match the facade, pergola or window system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which LuxaShade ZIP screen model should I specify?
Use Tela 100 for motorised facade shading, Tela 100M for manual no-wiring projects, Tela 100S when solar power helps avoid cable routing, and Tela 100T for horizontal top screening on pergolas or verandas.
Are ZIP screens the same as roller blinds?
No. A ZIP screen runs the fabric inside side channels with an integrated zipper, which keeps the cloth guided and tensioned for exterior use. A standard roller blind is usually not detailed for the same facade, pergola or terrace conditions.
What should be checked before requesting a quote?
Confirm opening width and height, desired control type, cassette position, frame colour, fabric privacy level and access for maintenance. For exposed locations, the fixing detail and site condition should be reviewed before final specification.
