Wind-rated Zip Shade and Drop Screens for bug-free outdoor living.
The sun and bugs don't have to keep you indoors. Our retractable screens let you enclose a deck, gazebo, garage or balcony in seconds — blocking harmful UV rays and insects while keeping your view intact.
The first external screen in the world that's truly wind-tight in every position. Zip Shade is Wind Class 3 rated — tested to withstand 130 km/h wind with no blow-out from the side channels — and fully insect-proof once closed thanks to a sealed zipper track and bumper rail. Motorized as standard, with app and remote control.
A practical, manually operated alternative for openings where a Zip Shade track isn't required. Diffuses light while retaining your view, with a satin-anodized aluminum roller tube and powder-coated, rust-free castings.
Zip Shade has passed European Wind Class 3 testing — 130 km/h with zero side-channel blow-out — verified by independent wind-tunnel testing. That's the difference between a screen that survives a GTA summer storm and one that doesn't.
