Do you want to enjoy sitting under your pergola even on hot days, without the dazzling sun and uncomfortable heat? And at the same time, do you want to enjoy pleasant environment, even off the summer season, when it gets colder outside? The solution is screen roller shutter - modern pergola shading that will provide privacy and protection from the vagaries of the weather, so you can use your pergola from spring to autumn.
Why choose screen roller shutters
Unlike blinds, the screen roller shutter is seamless fabric that effectively blocks the sunbeams, but still lets in plenty of natural light. The pergola remains bright, but protected from overheating, insects and wind. Thanks to the fabric resistant to UV radiation and moisture, you can enjoy pleasant ambience in your pergola most of the year.
💚 Advantages:
- protection from the sun, wind and rain
- maintaining the view outside
- possibility of motorized control
- elegant appearance matching the pergola structure
💡 Tip: Screen roller shutters are also suitable for balconies and terraces, where they serve as shading and screen for greater privacy.
What type of screen roller shutters should you choose for a pergola?
Screen roller shutters differ in their design, method of guidance and purpose. The basic types include free-hanging, open (with no cassette) and ZIP screen roller shutters.
However, only the last option is suitable for pergolas, as it is the only one that can withstand wind and rain.
The ideal solution – ZIP screen roller shutters for pergolas
Recently, the ZIP system has been cutting-edge and at the same time the most durable method of shading. The fabric is guided on the sides in rails with a special zipper that holds it firmly even in strong winds. Thanks to this, the area remains perfectly taut and protected, while keeping the view outside and natural daylight. All models combine a cassette structure with this zip guide – it protects the fabric from weather influences, has a quiet operation and looks aesthetically clean.
The ISOTRA offer includes three main variants of this system:
- ISOTRA SCREEN ALFA-ZIP – a universal model suitable for most pergolas, terraces and facades. It offers high wind resistance and an elegant appearance in a compact cassette.
- SCREEN ALFA PLUS-ZIP – designed for larger areas or exposed areas, where higher strength and stability are needed. It is characterized by a more robust construction and possibility of larger dimensions.
- SCREEN ALFA SOLAR-ZIP – a solar-powered variant that works completely with no electrical connection. Ideal for additional installations or places where it is not possible to run wiring.
All three types share the same philosophy: maximum comfort, clean design and reliable protection from the weather.
