FAQs

What’s the difference between a ZIP screen and a roller shade?
ZIP screens have side tracks that lock the fabric in place, great for wind and bugs. Roller shades are simpler with manual control.

Can I control the shades with my phone?
Yes! Motorized systems can be set up with remote controls, wall switches, or integrated into smart home apps.

Do these shades protect against hurricanes?
No, outdoor shades are for comfort and shade. For hurricane protection, choose our storm-rated shutters or mesh screens.

How much upkeep is needed?
Just rinse the fabric and frames with mild soap and water a few times a year.

What’s the lead time?
Typically 4–8 weeks, depending on system size and fabric choice.
