During the winter months, the Outdoor Connex is designed to provide insulation, keeping guests comfortably warm and protected from the elements. The combination of the Ziptrak blinds and architectural membrane roof creates a barrier against cold winds and helps retain heat, making outdoor spaces cosy and inviting even in colder climates. In the summer months, the Outdoor Connex creates shaded and cool spaces, reducing heat penetration and providing UV protection for guests.

Zip awnings are good for hospitality settings as they help retain heat, prevent rain from penetrating from the side, and can act as a wind break. The zip awning can also be made as a fly screen, much needed for dining areas in summer.

Shade Factor’s Warema Zip Awnings are designed for hospitality environments thanks to their stability in high winds and the fact they can be made in huge sizes. When Techne Architects + Interior Design restored the Village Belle Hotel in St Kilda they approached Shade Factor to find a way to screen their huge westfacing windows which are hit by the afternoon sun. Shade Factor’s Warema motorised vertical awnings were specified to provide a comfortable setting for afternoon patrons.

The zip guided blinds trap solar heat before it reaches the glass to maintain a cool, glare-free atmosphere inside, and the fully tensioned Warema ZIP system keeps the awnings stable even in high winds, despite the immense size of the system.

Specialist in interior solar shading fabrics and blinds, Verosol recommend their large internal and external roller blind systems. Verosol’s Veromax and external Ambience roller blind systems provide all-weather protection for outdoor dining areas as well as sun protection around poolside areas. When it’s hot outside, external roller blinds reflect the heat and cool the interior. In winter, they retain warmth inside, all of which can assist to reduce energy costs.

Veresol’s Veromax and Ambience Zipscreen external roller blind systems are suitable for both internal and external use and are available with various options including: headbox, guide wires, side channels with or without zip. Both systems can be manually operated via crank or spring, or motorised and fully automated and integrated into Building Management Systems - or simply operated via a switch or remote control. Verosol’s hardware systems and control options are available with a wide and diverse range of fabrics that provide flexibility to suit a number of different applications and installation types from simple café blinds with clear or tinted PVC to complex fully integrated systems.
