VERTICAL ZIP SHADE
Wind-Locked Drop Screen with Welded Zip Retention for Facades & Patios
Designed for Architectural Distinction & Performance
The Vertical Zip Shade is the world standard in high-wind external drop screens. Engineered with a continuous zipper heat-welded along both fabric edges and seated inside spring-cushioned PVC side inserts, the fabric cannot pull out of its tracks even under gale-force winds up to 120 km/h. Fitted with high-tech micro-perforated composite textiles (Ferrari Soltis or Serge Ferrari), the zip screen filters up to 95% of solar heat while preserving outward visibility and completely blocking insect entry.
Key Engineering Highlights
- Welded continuous zip guidance keeps fabric securely locked inside side channels in winds up to 120 km/h
- Blocks up to 95% of radiant solar heat on exterior glass facades, dramatically lowering cooling energy costs
- Acts as a multi-functional barrier: solar shading, privacy screen, windbreak, and insect barrier
- Concealed headbox and flush channel detailing compatible with luxury villa architecture
- Automated Somfy motors with sun/wind sensor integration for effortless hands-free climate control
