These shades feature side-channel technology that zips the fabric securely into place, minimizing gaps. The system is built to resist strong winds and repel water, making it ideal for exposed patios and decks. With heat-resistant materials and UV-blocking options, they provide daytime shade and long-term fabric integrity. Whether managing glare or shielding against the elements, zipper shades function smoothly with minimal wear, even in seasonal shifts. They’re engineered to create lasting outdoor comfort in changing conditions.
Zipper shade fabrics are made from coated polyester or fiberglass mesh, known for tensile strength and color retention. Options include solar-blocking fabrics with openness factors ranging from 1% to 10%, giving users control over heat and visibility. The tight weave resists stretching, tearing, and fraying. Water-repellent coatings ensure durability during heavy rain, while the breathable structure allows airflow without sacrificing comfort. These materials are tested for UV degradation and mildew resistance, ensuring reliable performance year after year.
Each system is engineered for precise mounting on aluminum, concrete, or wood structures. Zipper tracks can be recessed or surface-mounted to suit the aesthetics of existing beams, soffits, or overhangs. The perimeter hardware is powder-coated for corrosion resistance, and mounting options include wall, ceiling, or side attachment. Installers assess the space’s wind exposure and sun angle to determine track tension and fabric selection. This ensures a tight seal and consistent function, regardless of shape, size, or outdoor layout.
