Ultra-compact XXL screen

In recent years, everyone wants a home with large windows bathed in natural light. To ensure that it does not get too hot in the house during sunny weather, sun protection specialist Soprofen has pushed the dimensional limits within the screen market and designed a high-performance and sleek ZIP screen in XXL size.

Global warming is undeniable. All climate models point to a significant rise in temperature over the course of the 21st century. Recent heat waves in Europe, including in our flat country, are clear evidence of this. At the end of June, Spain experienced an early heat wave with temperatures reaching nearly 46 degrees in Andalusia, while in our country the temperature rose well above 30 degrees for several days.  

However, fans and other energy-consuming air conditioners are not a panacea. Installing screens, however, is one of the most efficient ways to combat overheating. The fabric of the new SCREENAMAX thus filters up to 97% of the sun's rays, ensuring that most of the heat is kept out.

Exclusive and compact

The new SCREENAMAX ZIP Screen uses the smallest case (extruded aluminum) on the market combined with the exclusive patented shaft system called Zoomtech®. This system guarantees that the shaft never deflects and makes it possible to create awnings up to 7 meters in a super small case, with a completely tight fabric without folds.

“The SCREENAMAX is available in two cabinet sizes: an 85 mm cabinet for windows up to 6 m wide and 2.30 m high, or a 105 mm cabinet for windows up to 7 m wide and 4 m high. The slim, sleek design fits harmoniously with all architectural styles, including pergolas and verandas,” said Bertje Lecluyse, Sales Manager Benelux at Soprofen.  

Sublime finish

The finish is impeccable, with no visible screws on the cabinet, bottom rail or guides. The choices are extensive. The frame (case, bottom bar and guides) is available as standard in 15 colors and 3 finishes, but you can also optionally choose from the full RAL color card (at no extra cost from 4 pieces upwards). As for the screen fabric, you can choose from more than 300 models from different fabric suppliers and in different degrees of blackout. And thanks to the ZIP system and the pre-bent Zoomtech® shaft, the fabric always remains perfectly taut, even in windy conditions.

Also solar powered for greater comfort

In addition to the familiar wired or radio-controlled motors, the new zip-screen can also be equipped with an ultra-thin photovoltaic panel that captures solar energy and stores it in a built-in battery. This guarantees autonomous operation for 45 days without sunlight, with one up/down cycle per day. “Solar-powered motorization is available for screens up to 5 m wide and, meanwhile, already accounts for more than 65% of our sales,” Bertje Lecluyse emphasizes.  

The benefits at a glance

With the SCREENAMAX XXL zip-screen, Soprofen offers the smallest case on the market, suitable for very large windows, in a wide range of colors and fabrics with a guaranteed tight screen fabric. The screen ensures perfect light transmission, excellent heat protection and an optimal view to the outside without annoying peeking in. Optional solar powered motor. “SCREENAMAX is an excellent sunshade with the largest dimensions on the market, custom made, with infinite choice of colors, fabrics and motors, and an ultra-compact case and guides that protects your interior from heat and light,’ concludes Bertje Lecluyse.
