Electric ZIP screen with 230V tubular motor for large-format facade shading up to 5,500×4,500mm (24.75m²). Dual control: wireless remote and wall switch. Smart home compatible. Translucent waterproof coating supports exterior solar-control performance. ZIP guide system for wind-resistant operation. Aluminium head box, side guides and bottom bar powder coated in any RAL colour.
MODEL SELECTION
ZIP screen selection reads control type, opening size, facade orientation, fabric openness, guide detail and wind conditions together.
Control
Motorised, solar or manual
Opening
Width and height
Guide
Vertical or roof route
Fabric
Light, heat and privacy
Projects needing wired control and smart integration
Facades where wiring is difficult
Smaller openings without motor preference
Areas needing overhead light and heat control
Control type
Motor, solar battery or manual crank is selected with electrical infrastructure, usage frequency and service access.
Fabric and guide
Fabric openness, colour, ZIP guide and wind conditions are part of the same technical decision.
Integration
Pergola, veranda, facade or glass-roof connection is confirmed by dimensions, drainage and automation needs.
TECHNICAL PROFILE
Read the system character first, then confirm material, glass or infill, fixing detail, anchors and performance data together.

The Luxa 100 is a motorised exterior ZIP screen system designed for facades, windows, and glass curtain walls. Unlike interior blinds that only reduce glare after solar heat has already entered the building, the Luxa 100 can reduce solar heat gain depending on project conditions before it reaches the glass — making it one of the effective passive cooling strategies when specified correctly.
The side-guided ZIP rail mechanism guides the screen fabric within aluminium side channels using a continuous zip fastener on both edges. This eliminates wind uplift, fabric fluttering, and light gaps that plague conventional roller blinds. Wind resistance: reviewed for project wind exposure (Beaufort 12).
The quiet 230V tubular motor operates silently (<40 dB) and integrates with wind sensors, sun sensors, and rain sensors for sensor-based automatic operation. Maximum single-screen dimensions: 5,500 mm width × 4,500 mm height (24.75 m²).
Screen fabrics are available in three categories: Sunscreen mesh (1–10% openness factor for daylight and outward visibility), translucent (diffused light without view), and blackout (0% openness for complete darkness). All fabrics carry Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification and are fire-rated to EN 13501-1 Class B-s1,d0.
Energy performance: external ZIP shading can reduce cooling demand depending on orientation, glazing and fabric openness. The g-value (solar heat gain coefficient) drops from 0.6 to under 0.1 with a ZIP screen deployed. This is recognised in green-building assessments when project data is documented.
PRODUCT DECISION GUIDE
Use this product when dimensions, fixing conditions, intended use and technical expectations are clear enough to move into quotation.
Works for facade, window, pergola side-closure and hospitality glare/privacy control.
Set fabric openness, guide fixing, motor/control choice and wind class during product selection.
Specify it as an envelope comfort layer, not a simple blind.

PROJECT INPUTS
A ZIP screen is selected by opening size, fabric, guide detail, control type and wind exposure. It should be treated as exterior shading, not as a simple interior blind.
When heat and glare should be controlled before solar gain reaches the glass.
Fabric openness is selected by privacy, view, daylight, glare and thermal goal.
No. Size, guide fixing, wind and service access can require a different model or module split.
Avoid exact energy savings or wind resistance without project-specific data.
PRODUCT ANSWERS

APPLICATIONS
Reduce solar heat before it enters through your windows. The ZIP screen mounts on the exterior face and can improve comfort in south-facing rooms when fabric, glass and orientation are selected correctly. Outward visibility is maintained with sunscreen mesh fabric.
Most homeowners install screens on south and west-facing windows where afternoon sun creates the most heat gain. A ZIP screen can reduce reliance on air conditioning in some moderate-climate projects.
Office buildings with extensive glazing can face high cooling loads. The Luxa 100 can reduce solar heat gain as part of a project-specific facade strategy. Sensors automate the screens based on sun position and wind speed.
Architects specify exterior ZIP shading to achieve green-building documentation goals. The concealed cassette housing integrates cleanly into curtain wall mullion systems.
Glass-roofed conservatories overheat in summer. Vertical ZIP screens on the glass walls combined with the horizontal Luxa 100T on the roof create complete solar control without losing the garden view.
The combination of wall screens and roof screens allows precise climate management: block direct sun while maintaining diffused daylight. Available with rain sensors for automatic protection.
