Zip screen systems are modern shading and side-enclosure solutions that create a closed vertical screen that does not flutter in the wind and keeps out flies and insects by locking the zipper (zip) along the two edges of the fabric into the side profile. Unlike classic curtains, the zip screen stays taut and closed up to a certain wind speed because it is locked into the rail along its edges.
The ceiling zip screen is a shading system applied horizontally under a glass roof or pergola roof, where the fabric locks into the rail at both edges and cuts the heat and glare created by the sun. While glass roofs let the sun in to warm in winter, in summer they can overheat the area beneath through a greenhouse effect; the ceiling zip screen comes in at exactly this point, cutting the sun right under the glass surface and keeping the area cool.
