Extruded Aluminum
To ensure the utmost durability, Zipscreen's product range is made from high-quality, precision-extruded aluminum.
The engineering-grade material offers a seamless exterior finish without compromising the strength or the design of the sleek system.
The modern square headbox is one of the slimmest designs on the market -only 5" - for a neat and compact overall look.
Available in multiple configurations, Zipscreen's ultra-versatile outdoor shades can be tailored to suit any home or business, with multiple headbox options. The Zipscreen cassette can be installed with a semi or full fascia, and a semi or full cassette.
Zipscreen's cassette is made from 6061-grade aluminum; a strong and secure solution for outdoor applications. This heavier extruded aluminum can withstand the harshest weather conditions and will not lose its shape over time.
The Zipscreen Difference
With over 30 years of research, design and performance testing, Zipscreen's patented shade technology has been engineered to provide next-level home integration.
Unlike traditional exterior shading systems, Zipscreen utilizes z-LOCK™ - a unique, zip-guided technology.
Tightly integrated with the shade fabric and hidden behind the slim frame channels, z-LOCK connects the left and right sides of the system’s hardware with a streamlined and gap-free finish. Z-LOCK fastens the fabric securely and creates a strong, smooth, frictionless path for the shade while ensuring a perfect seal on all sides.

It usually comes down to privacy, sun control and how a particular shade operates.
There is a lot of product information and fabric choices.
I have many other products available, but the overwhelming product lines that folks want are "The Standard Four".
Delve deeper into our product information and discover more unique designs we have to offer.
I am hoping this information will facilitate most of your window treatment needs.
Honeycomb shades have a few different descriptive names,
Cellular, Pleated and Duette shades.
A " Duette " shade is the same idea,
but this term, " Duette " is a brand name of Hunter Douglas.
A pleated cellular honeycomb shade.
I do carry two Hunter Douglas Honeycomb lines, Alta and Duette.
The HD Duette line has a Cell in a Cell
A step up in quality, the doubled up cell structure allows for a consistent look when mixing a semi-opaque and black out shades throughout the house., in some situations even in the same room.
The Alta line is a more cost effective choice in a single honeybomb cell structure.
A black out fabrics have a significant "graying effect" to the colors.
Most prevalent are white colors, nice and white in semi-opaque, more subdued in black out.
Honeycombs are a double layer of fabric creating an insulating cell.
Available in Sheer, Semi-opaqe and Blackout fabrics.
Various pleat sizes, the most widley used is 3/4 single pleats.
Avilable as Cordless or Cord Lock, Top Down / Bottom Up and more.
The cell being a pocket of two layers of fabric combined into a honeycomb structure,
creating a sound absorbing and insulating air space within the Honeycomb Cell.
A Pleated shade refers to the folding of the fabric that gathers into a nice compact stack.
The use of the term " Pleated " is used to describe an older product line of " Z" shaped folds that are a single layer fabric.
Pleated shades are almost completely replaced by the Honeycomb double structured shades.
There are a few true old time Pleated shades remaining on the market.
Alta uses a sheer pleated fabric on the Tri-light shades.
I tend to use the descriptive of Tri-light shades as " Day/Night " shades.
Essentially a shade built with two fabric selections alternating within a single shade.
The more recent " Duette " shade line now incorporates a Cell within the Cell,
The Cell in Cell makes Blackout versions of the fabric similar to the Seni-Opaque fabrics.
The Alta Honeycomb line uses the more traditional single cell fabrics.
