ULTIMATE SCREEN ZIP - EXTERNAL ROLLER BLINDS
The Hunter Douglas® Ultimate Screen Zip is our most reliable external roller blind system. It provides excellent solar control with the highest wind resistance. Filtering solar radiation, the fabric reduces glare as well as the amount of light and heat that enters the window to a comfortable level. The system also allows a building’s occupants an unhindered outward view.

Application
The Ultimate Screen Zip roller blind can fit in any type of building, from residential homes to offices and hospitals. It is the best choice for large window sizes and high wind loads as the strongest and most durable roller blind available, with no compromise to appearance.
Design & Inspiration
An elegant feature of the wind resistant continuous side guiding of the fabric is the sleek appearance. As the fabric is held in place on all sides the deployed blinds look clean and crisp, adding to the facade design instead of compromising it. Ultimate Screen Zip features the highest quality fabrics that includes our Enduris® Glass Core technology. These fabrics are totally weather resistant and dimensionally stable due to the thermo fixation between the yarns. The 3% or 5% openness factor provides a comfortable light level inside and an excellent view outside.
Colours & Finishes
The hardware components of the Ultimate Screen roller blind mainly consist of extruded aluminium profiles. These can be finished in natural anodised or powder coated in white or any RAL colour on request. The collection of available fabrics comprises two different weaves, various openness factors and more than 30 colours.

Sustainability
Health and wellbeing
The Hunter Douglas Architectural range of ceiling products contribute to sustainable buildings through aesthetic solutions that enhance comfort and save energy. Promoting the health and well being of their occupants is arguably the most important function of building. Our shading solutions promote the use of healthy daylight without the hindrances of glare and thermal discomfort. Our acoustic ceilings are a key element in the provision of acoustic comfort.
Sound materials
Environmentally sound materials are the key to a sustainable building. Our strategy is to pick materials that have good environmental properties to start with. Many of our products are made of aluminum produced in our own smelters. We have optimised our processes to use up to 99% of recycled content to produce the right alloy for our products. Our wood is FSC certified and we embrace the Cradle to Cradle principle in our product development.
Energy savings
Reducing the energy use of the total building stock is key to the prevention of global warming. Most modern office buildings use more energy for cooling than heating. Effective management of the solar energy that passes through the transparent part of the façade is a key strategy in the prevention of overheating in both old and new buildings. Our high performance shading solutions bring substantial energy savings, while at the same time promoting health and wellbeing.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Keen on Green is an important company-wide initiative to reduce energy consumption, water usage and our overall carbon-footprint. We embrace the ISO 14001 framework to actively manage our Keen on Green objectives. Hunter Douglas and its employees actively support the communities in which we live and work, as well as those on a more global scale. Business is people. We pride ourselves on our worldwide network of experienced, intelligent, passionate and creative people who have consciously chosen Hunter Douglas as their employer.
