Vertical ZIP Screen
A Vertical ZIP Screen drops straight down its side channels to cover a window, balcony or façade opening with a flat, frameless plane of shade. WorldWideTradeX supplies Vertical ZIP Screen systems to distributors, dealers and project companies from Türkiye.
The everyday form of the ZIP Screen
A Vertical ZIP Screen travels down its side channels to seal a rectangular opening, presenting a flat panel of guided fabric.
The vertical drop is the configuration most people picture when they think of a ZIP Screen: a screen that travels down its aluminium side channels to cover a window, balcony front or glazed façade opening. The channels follow the opening, so the fabric sits flat and frameless rather than billowing at the sides.
Because the fabric is zipped on both sides, a Vertical ZIP Screen keeps its tension and seals the opening closely. Specified with a mesh fabric, it cuts solar gain and glare while keeping the room bright and the outward view softly open, which is why it is a common choice for both homes and hospitality terraces.
The vertical form is the same side-guided principle as the rest of the range. The difference from a motorized unit is only how it is driven, and many vertical screens are motorized.
Where a Vertical ZIP Screen fits
The flat, guided drop suits any rectangular opening that needs shade, screening or privacy.
Windows and apartment fronts
Seal glazed openings with a flat, frameless screen that tucks away when retracted.
Balconies and terraces
Shade and insect-screen the balcony without a bulky or boxed frame.
Shopfronts and cafés
Manage sun and glare at the glazed front of a business.
Hotel and resort façades
Repeatable shading across guest-room and terrace openings.
Pergolas and outdoor structures
Use as the side wall that tracks with the structure.
Offices and commercial buildings
Control glare on glazed commercial elevations.
Side channels that follow the opening
Mounting is built around the two guide channels rather than a free-hanging track.
The screen is fixed at the top cassette and runs down two aluminium side channels fixed to the opening. The zipped fabric edges travel in those channels, so the screen stays flat and tensioned for its full height regardless of breeze.
The channels can be face-fixed to the reveal or recessed into the structure, and the cassette can be exposed or concealed above the opening. Finish is powder-coated aluminium matched to the façade or frame colour where specified.
Because the mount is a pair of slim channels rather than a box frame, a Vertical ZIP Screen reads as a near-invisible plane of shade when down and tucks away neatly when retracted.
What a Vertical ZIP Screen delivers
A single guided screen solves several problems on a façade or balcony.
Flat, frameless shade
Side-guided fabric presents a clean plane with no billowing sides.
Solar and glare control
Shades the glass from outside, cutting heat and glare before they enter.
Wind stability
Zipped edges keep the screen taut in breezy conditions.
Insect protection
A lowered screen seals the opening while air still flows through.
Privacy
At lower openness the fabric screens the view from outside while keeping daylight in.
Weather buffering
Softens rain mist and prevailing wind at the threshold.
One vertical family across the range
The same side-guided construction is offered as a vertical drop across openings large and small.
A Vertical ZIP Screen spans small balcony windows to wide terrace and façade openings, all built on the same aluminium structure and zipped side channels. Many are motorized; manual versions remain available for smaller or power-free openings.
We keep the full configuration detail on the product pages so this page stays focused on the vertical form. Use the links to explore the range and the related applications.

Vertical units are supplied as a complete guided assembly ready to mount.
Each Vertical ZIP Screen is supplied with the top cassette, the two aluminium side channels, the bottom rail and the specified fabric, with the motor included where a motorized unit is specified. Controls and any sensors are added as configured for the order.
Installation fixes the side channels to the opening and secures the cassette above, then the fabric is zipped into the channels. We supply the documentation the installing contractor needs, and mounting options are confirmed with the project team so the screen suits the reveal.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Vertical ZIP Screen?
A Vertical ZIP Screen is the everyday form of the product: a side-guided screen that drops straight down its aluminium channels to cover a window, balcony or façade opening with a flat plane of shade. The fabric edges are zipped into the side channels so it stays flat and tensioned.
How does a Vertical ZIP Screen stay flat?
Its fabric edges are zipped into side channels on both sides, so the screen stays tensioned and flat for its full height instead of billowing like a free-hanging blind. That is what gives it its clean, frameless look.
Where are Vertical ZIP Screens used?
On windows, balcony fronts, shopfronts, hotel façades and the glazed ends of pergolas, anywhere a rectangular opening needs shade, glare control, insect screening or privacy.
Can Vertical ZIP Screens be motorized?
Yes. Many vertical screens are driven by a tubular motor with remote, switch or app control, and manual crank or spring versions remain available for smaller openings.
What is the difference between a Vertical ZIP Screen and a roller blind?
A roller blind hangs free at the sides and flaps in wind. A Vertical ZIP Screen's fabric is guided in side channels, so it stays flat, resists wind and seals the opening more closely.
Do Vertical ZIP Screens provide privacy?
At lower openness factors the fabric screens the view from outside while still letting daylight in, so they give daytime privacy without fully blocking the opening.
Are Vertical ZIP Screens wind resistant?
Yes, within the limits of their specification. The side-guided construction is what gives them wind stability; the right channel size and fabric are selected for each elevation's exposure.
Can Vertical ZIP Screens be supplied from Türkiye?
Yes. As a ZIP Screen Supplier from Türkiye, WorldWideTradeX supplies vertical systems and components to trade buyers on export terms, with fabric, drive and documentation specified per order.
