ZIP screens
for shade and privacy
Direct from the manufacturer. One dedicated point of contact throughout your project.
Vertical screens whose fabric edge runs inside the side guides, so it stays taut and does not flap. For pergolas, porches, terraces and outdoor dining areas in the provinces of Bari, Foggia, Barletta-Andria-Trani and Taranto in Puglia, Matera and Potenza in Basilicata and Avellino in Campania.
What a ZIP screen is
A ZIP screen is a vertical outdoor blind whose fabric has a zip-like edge that runs inside the side guides. Because the fabric is held along both sides, it stays taut instead of billowing, and it closes the gap where insects would get in. It goes on pergolas, porches, terrace openings and outdoor dining areas. The price depends on width, height, fabric and motor, and is set after the survey.
Low afternoon sun
On the west side of a terrace or pergola, the screen cuts glare while you can still see outside.
Privacy
Towards neighbours or the road, a filtering fabric gives shade and privacy without closing you in.
Insects
With the fabric held in the guides, the space under a pergola is easier to keep free of mosquitoes in the evening.
Outdoor dining
For restaurants and hotels, side screens make the tables usable when the sun is low or the evening turns cool.
Filtering or blackout
Filtering fabric
Lets you see out and lets air through, while cutting direct sun and glare. The usual choice for terraces and pergolas.
Blackout fabric
Blocks the light: for bedrooms facing a terrace, or spaces you want completely screened.
Motor
Motorised operation is the norm on wide or high openings; the configuration is agreed at the survey.
ZIP screen, clear PVC or glass?
| Solution | What it does | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| ZIP screen | Shade, privacy, insects; the view stays with filtering fabrics | It is not a waterproof enclosure |
| Clear PVC curtain | Closes against wind and rain, keeps the view | It does not shade |
| Sliding glass | Rigid, clear enclosure that opens completely | It does not shade |
In Italy outdoor blinds are generally among the works that need no building permit, provided they do not create a permanently closed volume. In condominiums the façade rules apply, and we check them with you.
