The innovative zip_2.0 vertical window awning combines modern design, cutting-edge technology, and user-friendly functionality. These vertical awnings provide comprehensive heat protection. Tailored models can be installed to complement any unique architectural style and can be equipped with additional insulation for enhanced cooling, ensuring comfort during hot summers.
Experience comfort within your own space. The zip_2.0, with its cubic shape, exudes a simple yet exclusive character. These vertical window awnings present a design-oriented, high-quality appearance with their textile materials.
The zip_2.0 comes in cassette sizes of 11cm and 15cm, offering type S or M drop bars. Awnings can reach dimensions of up to 4.8m in width and 6m in height. The expansive cassette enables shading of areas up to 20 square meters.
Constructed with high-quality materials, these awnings boast exceptional stability. The type M drop bar version of zip_2.0 is designed to withstand winds up to 6 on the Beaufort scale out of a maximum of 10.
Different weave structures, diverse colours and the choice of your desired level of transparency provide extensive possibilities when it comes to configuring your personal zip_2.0 window awning. Colour-fast and non-stretching, the easy-care technical woven fabrics also impress with outstanding thermal properties: they filter more than 85 percent of solar energy and positively influence your building’s energy efficiency.
Ensure the safe and reliable operation of your new window awning with the integrated motor, which automatically detects any resistance. The Hirschmann plug simplifies and accelerates power supply connections. Adjustable and precise guide rails enable adjustments down to 3mm, providing the perfect fit for any space.
The zip_2.0 is available in 11 and 15 centimetre cassette sizes and with type S or M drop bars. When retracted the type S drop bar is completely inside the cassette, which produces a flush look. The textile awning can be up to 4.8 metres wide and up to as much as 6 metres high. With the large cassette it is also possible to provide shade to areas of 20 square metres.
High-quality materials, meanwhile, give the awning exceptional stability: depending on the size of the drop bar an awning with a type M bar will withstand hurricane-like gales of up to wind resistance class 6 (10 on the Beaufort scale).
