Fabric Types and Available Options

Primary Purpose of the Screen

Your screen can accomplish one or several things depending on the purpose of the product. You can choose one, several, or all of the topics listed below. 

  • Shading - The addition of a zip screen can make a space more comfortable by providing shading to an area that may be in the direct sun for extended periods of time.

  • Privacy - By installing a zip screen, you can create a space that is enclosed and private from neighbours, public areas, or general foot traffic. 

  • Blackout - Whether it be for a nursery, hospital room, or an amphitheater; blocking all light to improve sleep, ensure privacy and focus, or improve any experience can make a world of difference.

  • Aesthetics - With such a variety of colours and types, you can create a space that stands out significantly while still providing an open-air space to enjoy the great outdoors.

What Your Options Offer You

The different options offer much more than just a simple shade or a bit of privacy. They can attract attention, liven up a dark corner, or create a majestic dining area for guests. You can utilize these options to your advantage when installing a screen in any area. 

Colours

The different colours provide more than just something to look at. When taking the following list of options into account, you can personalize any space to fit your needs.
