The zipper holds the fabric in tension between two opposing side channels at all times, fitting many applications: top down, bottom up, or even inclined or horizontal orientation.

We stock aluminum shade boxes and side channels for your convenience in both our South Florida and New York locations. Solar to black-out Our zipper shades are available with different types of solar screen fabrics and in a variety of colors. No-light fabric will create true black-out as the zippered sides of the fabric traverse the side channels. Tensioned vertical drop screens Tensioned zipperlock shades 22 23
