Vertical awning (ZIP screen, Reflexol)

A fabric screen that glides vertically in side guides, turning an open area into a sheltered, welcoming space. Ideal for panoramic windows, balconies, porches and the sides of pergolas. It reduces sun, heat, wind and insects while preserving daylight and the view.

Two solutions for vertical shading

Choose according to wind load, budget and façade design.

Premium · wind protection

ZIP screen (85–125 mm cassette)

A high-performance solution for dependable protection. The fabric runs inside enclosed aluminium ZIP guides, so its edges stay secure even when fully extended. Built to withstand strong winds, it provides both sun and wind protection on façades, porches and pergola sides.

Economical · classic

Reflexol (type 200/210)

A light, attractive vertical screen for windows, balconies and façades. Its fabric winds onto a tube and moves along guide cables — a simpler, more affordable design without enclosed ZIP tracks. It shades interiors, limits overheating and helps protect furniture and floors from fading.

Why choose a ZIP screen

Views and daylight

Micro-perforated fabric preserves daylight and the view while reducing heat and glare.

Privacy

By day, you can see out while limiting views in; at night, privacy depends on the chosen fabric’s transparency.

Wind resistance

The fabric edges stay in the guides even when fully extended, providing greater wind resistance than Reflexol.

Protection against insects

The screen held in its guides also forms a barrier against insects.

Heat protection

Technical fabric blocks much of the sun’s heat, helping keep the interior cooler.

Comfort in every season

Creates sheltered ‘walls’ around the pergola for comfort even in cooler weather.

ZIP screen sizes

Cassette size depends on the opening: larger openings need a larger roller tube and cassette to keep the fabric taut.

Why choose Reflexol

Minimalist appearance

A slim steel cable replaces bulky side guides, giving the system a light appearance that does not overwhelm the façade.

Protection against overheating

Prevents the room from turning into a sauna on hot days.

Reinforced roller

The larger roller diameter ensures smooth operation and even fabric tension across the full width.

Wind stability

The stainless-steel cable keeps the fabric taut and stable in windy conditions.

Panoramic view

The open system preserves an airy feel even when the awning is lowered.

Protection of the interior

Helps prevent floors and furniture from fading in direct sunlight.
