How it works
SMARTZip Roof Lantern Blind
The Zip Roof Lantern Blind – ‘SmartZip’ for your roof lantern will normally be fitted, horizontally, at the bottom of the lantern. This means that the blind is a lot lower than the glass and therefore it is best to avoid unsightly support wires. With a SMARTZip Roof Lantern Blind there are no wires, leaving you to enjoy an unobstructed view of the lantern and sky above.
Specification
To achieve the desired result the blind fabric has a strip of one half of a nylon ‘zip’ welded to it which keeps the fabric retained and taut inside a section of aluminium side channelling.
The fabric roll is stored within a neat but durable cassette which conceals the mechanism. Finally, the motorised or battery-operated system is supported by a discreet frame within the lantern.
This innovative device can accommodate the majority of lantern dimensions.
