Why retrofit a zipSCREEN?
A retrofitted zipSCREEN offers numerous advantages— technical, aesthetic, and functional. Unlike interior sunshades, a zipSCREEN is installed on the outside of the window. This blocks sunlight before it hits the glass pane —effectively preventing the interior from overheating.
ROMA Textile Screens stand out for their robust construction, wide variety of colors and fabrics, and innovative zip technology, which securely holds the fabrics in place along the side of the guide rail. This ensures the fabrics remain taut even in windy conditions—for trouble-free operation and clean lines on the building’s facade.
