What is a zip screen?
A zip screen is an exterior roller blind whose fabric edges carry a zip-like strip that runs inside the side channels. Because the edges are held in the channels along their full height, the fabric stays taut and does not flap or blow out in the wind the way a free-hanging outdoor blind can. The closed edges also leave no side gaps for insects.
Zip screens are fitted outside the glass or around open spaces such as terraces and pergolas. They shade the space before the sun reaches the glazing or the seating area, keep insects out and still allow a view through the fabric. LuxiVeil zip screens are made to measure in Antalya; motorized operation is the usual choice for large or numerous screens.
How to choose a zip screen
Fabric
Screen fabrics filter sun and glare while keeping the view; transparent PVC closes the space against wind and dust while letting in more light. Choose by whether the priority is shade, view or enclosure.
Opening and fixing points
Measure the opening and check where the cassette and side channels can be fixed: to the wall, the window reveal or pergola posts. The supporting structure must be able to hold the channels securely.
Operation and power
Motorized operation is recommended for large screens and for terraces with several screens, which can be grouped to move together. Plan the power supply early, ideally before façade or pergola works are finished.
Wind exposure
Zip screens cope with wind far better than free-hanging outdoor blinds, but every external system has limits; on very exposed sites, screens should be raised in storm conditions.
Where zip screens are used
Restaurant and café terraces
Outdoor seating that needs sun and wind protection so it can be used for more of the year.
Pergolas and verandas
Open structures that can be closed on the sides for shade and insect protection.
Hotel and villa terraces
Balconies, pool-side lounges and private terraces that need shade without losing the view.
Large glazed façades
External shading for windows facing strong sun, keeping heat and glare off the glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a zip screen and a regular outdoor roller blind?
A regular outdoor roller blind hangs freely or runs on cables, so its edges can move and flap in the wind. On a zip screen the fabric edges are locked in zipped side channels along their full height, which keeps the fabric taut and closes the gaps at the sides.
Do zip screens keep out insects?
Yes. When the screen is fully lowered, the zipped edges leave no side gaps, so the fabric works as a barrier against insects as well as sun.
Can zip screens be used on a pergola or restaurant terrace?
Yes. Pergolas and restaurant terraces are typical applications. The side channels are fixed to the posts or walls, and several screens can be operated together to close the space quickly.
Should zip screens be motorized?
Every LuxiVeil product can be supplied motorized, and for zip screens it is the usual choice: the screens are often large, mounted outside and grouped, so motorized operation is easier and more even than manual cranking.
Is there a minimum order, and can I see samples first?
There is no fixed minimum order quantity. Every blind is made to measure in our Antalya workshop, fabric samples are sent for your approval before production, and deliveries can be phased to suit the project. Lead times are confirmed per project once the specification and final measurements are agreed.
How do I measure my windows for Zip Screen Blinds?
Measure the width and height of each window in centimetres. For a blind fitted inside the recess, measure the width at the top, middle and bottom and send the smallest figure; for a blind fitted outside the recess, add the overlap you want on each side. Send the list with room names or window numbers, and we check every size with you before production.
How can I request a quote for Zip Screen Blinds?
Send your project requirements through our RFQ form or message our export team on WhatsApp. We prepare a project-specific proposal.

Vertical Blinds
Vertical blinds are an ideal answer for wide glass surfaces and large windows. Rotating the hanging vertical slats fine-tunes daylight and privacy, and drawing them to the side opens the whole window, which makes them a practical choice for offices, meeting rooms, hotels and homes.
Aluminium Venetian Blinds (Metal)
Slim horizontal metal slats give crisp, precise light control with a clean, modern appearance. Aluminium venetian blinds are a practical and durable choice for offices, schools, healthcare spaces and homes, and are easy to wipe clean.
Picasso Blinds (Silhouette)
A silhouette-style blind that suspends soft horizontal fabric vanes between two layers of sheer fabric. Tilting the vanes lets you shape the daylight and keep privacy without rolling the blind up, filling the room with an even, diffused glow and the elegant look of a dressed sheer curtain.
