## Overview
The zip system provides a fully tensioned fabric with side guide rails — ideal for outdoor shading and large windows.

## Benefits
- No side gaps
- Strong wind resistance
- Ideal for outdoor spaces
- Professional shading

## How it works
The zip system is an advanced variant of an external roller blind. The fabric has a zip profile sewn onto the side edges that runs in the side aluminium rail — this keeps the fabric tensioned without vibration, no flapping in wind, and no side gaps for light, insects or smells. The fabric is a special screen — material that blocks 80-95% of sunlight but allows views from inside out. Motorised by default, with optional wind sensor.

## Best for
Zip system is a premium solution for outdoor spaces: terraces, balconies, restaurant patios, hospitality verandas, panoramic French windows. Ideal for the Macedonian summer (sun protection + insect screen) and winter (wind protection on glazed terraces). Often used in hotels and wineries in the Ohrid region for both look and performance.

## Pricing
Zip systems are priced per square metre and cost more because of the complex hardware and motorised mechanism. The price depends on size (single system up to 5×3 m), cassette colour (RAL of choice), screen fabric type (different opacity %) and whether a wind / sun sensor is included. Minimum 4 m². Price includes a technical site survey, manufacturing and installation.

## FAQ
### Can the zip system be used in winter?
Yes — the tensioned fabric blocks wind chill and provides additional insulation. For full winter use we recommend pairing it with closed glazing on the terrace.

### How long do they last outdoors?
The aluminium structure — 20+ years. The screen fabric — 10-15 years under normal exposure. The motor has a 5-year warranty with replacement parts available.

### Do they allow a view through?
Depends on fabric opacity. Standard 5% screen allows views from inside out while blocking 95% of solar heat. For full privacy — choose a blackout variant.
