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.

Minimal support wires for very large roof lantern blinds

Very large roof lanterns (over 3.6m x 3.6m) can be catered for with minimal support wires.  Additional wires are necessary to ensure the fabric is supported and that it does not sag or ripple during operation, or when the fabric is drawn at full length.

A blind that is over 3.0 metres wide by 6 metres long, or 3.5 metres wide by 6 metres long will need just two wires at even spacings.

Very large lanterns, over 3.5 metres wide and 6 metres long, will require four wires evenly spaced.

Colour Coordinated Hardware

Our system includes a cassette box and side-channelling and is available as standard in RAL 9910 (White) and RAL 9905 (Black). However, we can supply you with powder coated hardware to your colour specification for a nominal charge.
