Engineered to withstand rigorous European testing standards (DIN EN 13561 / EnEV GEG 2024 compliance). Direct OEM factory supply for the German commercial and luxury residential sector.
Why German architects, facade engineers (Fassadenplaner), and B2B stockists are replacing traditional interior blinds with motorized exterior ZIP track screen systems.
In Germany's evolving architectural sector, strict compliance with the Building Energy Act (Gebäudeenergiegesetz - GEG 2024) has fundamentally changed how commercial and residential envelopes are specified. Indoor solar protection is no longer sufficient to stop modern buildings from overheating during summer months. Solar radiation must be intercepted before penetrating the glazing layer.
Our motorized ZIP screen systems deliver an exceptional total solar energy transmittance rating (gtot ≤ 0.05 when paired with solar control double or triple glazing). By installing heavy-duty motorized exterior ZIP screens, German developers significantly reduce summer air conditioning cooling loads by up to 78%, earning vital credits toward DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) and LEED certification.
Furthermore, Germany’s transition toward automated smart homes (KNX, Loxone, Somfy io-homecontrol) has accelerated the demand for OEM motorized screens equipped with obstacle detection motors, ultra-quiet tubular drives, and weather-station integration (wind and rain sensor automation).
From high-rise wind exposure in Hamburg ports to Passivhaus residential builds in Munich and Baden-Württemberg.
Multi-story commercial headquarters require extreme wind stability. Our ZIP retention guide systems utilize continuous stainless-steel spring mechanisms and high-tenacity side zippers that lock the fabric securely inside extruded aluminum side channels. Tested to withstand wind speeds up to 120 km/h (Beaufort Wind Class 10), guaranteeing zero fabric blowout in coastal or high-altitude urban wind tunnels.
Modern luxury villas in southern Germany prioritize minimal sightlines without compromising thermal insulation. Our surface-mounted and concealed (recessed brickwork lintel) headboxes seamlessly integrate with thermal break aluminum windows and curtain walls. Combined with high-tech fiberglass-PVC mesh (Serge 1%, 3%, 5% openness factors), home occupants retain uninterrupted exterior views while maintaining total privacy and heat rejection.
Restaurants, hotel rooftop lounges, and bioclimatic pergolas in Munich, Cologne, and Hamburg demand all-weather outdoor spaces. Motorized drop ZIP screens serve as dynamic vertical wind and rain barriers. Equipped with clear PVC window inserts or acoustic mesh fabrics, venues extend outdoor seating operational months deep into autumn and early spring, directly maximizing venue profitability.

Combining 25+ years of architectural aluminum fabrication with rigorous quality management for seamlessly executed export logistics into Germany.
We utilize high-grade 6063-T5 & 6063-T6 structural aluminum extrusions. CNC automated cutting and punching guarantee wall-thickness tolerances within ±0.15mm, ensuring smooth cassette closure and perfectly aligned vertical ZIP tracks.
Factory electrostatic powder coating standard ranges from 60 to 80 microns (Architectural Qualicoat Class 1 & 2), available in standard German colors including DB703 Fine Structure Anthracite, RAL 9016 Traffic White, and RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey, backed by a 10 to 15-year weather-resistance guarantee.
All motorized screens and thermal window systems are pre-assembled, operational-tested, and individually wrapped in multi-layer protective film. Consignments are packed in reinforced fumigated wooden crates or A-frame glass crates, accompanied by explicit technical drawings, wiring diagrams, and piece-by-piece packing lists for effortless customs clearance at German seaports.
Addressing technical compliance, minimum order quantities, custom color matching, and logistics schedules.
Yes. Our motorized exterior ZIP screens undergo rigorous pressure chamber and wind tunnel tests in accordance with DIN EN 13561 standards. Thanks to our heavy-duty zip-guide side track mechanism and reinforced bottom bar weights, our ZIP systems achieve Wind Class 6 certification (withstanding wind speeds up to 120 km/h depending on box size and width).
We work directly with leading European motor brands including Somfy (io-homecontrol, RTS, wired motors), Becker, and Geiger, as well as our high-performance proprietary smart electronic motors. Our systems natively support 230V / 50Hz electrical grids and integrate seamlessly into KNX, Loxone, Control4, and dry-contact building management systems (BMS).
Absolutely. We manufacture strictly based on shop drawings submitted by your technical team. We offer custom headbox dimensions (85mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm) and custom powder coating matching any standard RAL color, DB metallic structure color, or custom anodized finish (15-25 microns).
Standard production and factory assembly for motorized ZIP screen systems require 3 to 4 weeks upon drawing sign-off and color approval. Sea freight transit time from our port to Hamburg or Bremerhaven typically ranges from 28 to 35 days. Express air shipment is available for urgent motor hardware or custom component replacement.
Profiles and cassettes are wrapped in shock-absorbent foam and packed into custom-built, heavy-duty wooden crates reinforced with steel strapping. Glass panels and fragile motorized components are secured in vertical A-frame crates with corner protectors, ensuring zero movement during multi-leg container shipping.
For custom OEM export orders, we welcome project-based scope orders starting from a minimum container load (20GP / 40HQ) or aggregated commercial project orders. For stock distributors testing our fabrication quality, sample orders or trial batches of 10 to 20 units can be arranged.
We provide a comprehensive warranty structure: 5 years on tubular motors and electronic control systems, 5 years on outdoor mesh fabrics (against UV fading, rotting, and seam separation), and 10 to 15 years on extruded aluminum frame structure and powder coating finish integrity.
Yes. Every order is backed by our dedicated in-house engineering team. We supply full CAD section drawings, facade anchoring details, electrical wiring schematics, and step-by-step installation guidance manuals in English and German for easy assembly by local German window installers (Fensterbauer).
