Zip Screen Systems
Discover the most stylish and convenient way to protect yourself from the sun with next-generation outdoor screens.
Ferrini zip screen systems stand out with remarkable sun protection. Their unique functionality shields you from heat while letting in enough daylight for a natural atmosphere, with an excellent view from inside out. Our vertical zip screen Zipline Neo has been tested in the METU RÜZGEM wind tunnel: an industry record 172 km/h wind resistance.
A zip screen stops the sun, insects and wind, but it is not built for blackout or security; if those two come first look at roller shutter systems, and if shade from above is enough, at awnings.
Product options

The zip screen system is applied to restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, shops, villas or any building you want. It is a system preferred to reduce the sun effect in spaces with remote or button control.
Extra protective fabric is produced to be fully resistant to all external factors, impact, water, sun, snow and wind.

Special fabrics are used in our systems. These fabrics from Copaco and Serge Ferrari brands are specially designed for outdoor conditions.
You can look at the fabric catalog for colour options.
All aluminium parts are suitable for painting in RAL colours and wood transfer coating.
Apart from these, if requested, we can print any visual or text that is suitable for the fabric colour and print quality.
One of the most important factors for outdoor screen systems is their resistance to wind. Its importance becomes apparent when fabrics tear and profiles deform on systems exposed to high-speed winds. Zipline Neo withstands wind speeds of up to 172 km/h thanks to both the fabrics used and the aluminium components. (METU Rüzgem, Wind Tunnel Test Report)

For manufacturers: stock-length profiles and accessories
You do not have to buy zip screens from us only as knock-down systems. Manufacturers with the capacity to cut and assemble in their own workshop can also buy Zipline Neo and Zipline Sky-S as stock-length profiles and accessories: you do the manufacturing, we supply the system and the technical support.
- Knock-down system — a cut-to-size, fully packed kit; the dealer only installs it.
- Stock-length profiles and accessories — box, guide and bottom profiles in stock lengths; accessories such as zip strips, springs, end caps and mounting brackets supplied separately. Cutting and assembly are up to you.
- Manufacturer support — technical catalogue, cutting dimensions and production training, from your very first batch.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is it installed?
Is the zip screen wind-resistant?
Yes. Zipline Neo has demonstrated resistance up to 172 km/h in wind tunnel tests carried out by METU Rüzgem, making it suitable for coastal areas and windy climates.
What is the difference between a zip screen and a classic awning?
A zip screen uses a zipper-like system that fixes the fabric edges into rails, providing much higher wind resistance than classic awnings.
Can zip screens be used in vertical and ceiling applications?
Yes, Ferrini zip screen systems can be used in both vertical (balcony, terrace, façade) and ceiling (winter garden, glass roof) applications.
Zip screen or awning — which should I choose?
An awning shades only from above and the edge of the fabric is free; a zip screen locks the fabric into the guides on both sides, so it does not flap in wind, stops insects and dust, and closes the sides to build an enclosed volume. If shade from above is enough, an awning is more economical.
We have compared the two row by row: zip screen or awning. For the difference between the vertical and ceiling zip screens, see the zip screen comparison.
Can I buy zip screen profiles and accessories and manufacture the screens myself?
Yes. Manufacturers who can cut and assemble in their own workshop can also buy the Zipline Neo and Sky-S systems as stock-length profiles and accessories; we support you with the technical catalogue, cutting dimensions and production training. Contact our sales team for details.
