Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Does a ZIP screen stop all rain?

A ZIP screen is primarily a vertical shading and wind-control product. Performance in rain depends on fabric, opening, installation and exposure.

Can it be installed into a pergola?

Yes, when the chosen pergola and opening allow the cassette and side guides to be integrated correctly.

Which fabric should I choose?

The choice depends on solar exposure, desired visibility, privacy and weather conditions. HOTEND selects the fabric together with the project specification.
