Optimum fabric appearance thanks to outstanding technology

The MHZ ZIP 6 system features a patented glider technology engineered for exceptionally smooth, precise operation and a consistently refined fabric appearance. Each glider is strategically positioned to guide the fabric evenly into a slim cassette, ensuring it layers neatly without creasing while maintaining a clean, tailored look. As the shade moves, the gliders transition seamlessly within the side channels, reducing fabric stress and supporting long-term durability.

An integrated stabilizing system keeps the roller tube perfectly aligned, allowing the fabric to open and close gently and uniformly every time. The result is a quiet, controlled movement and a flawless finish across the entire shade. Designed for both large glass façades and outdoor applications such as pergolas, the ZIP 6 maintains a consistent, streamlined aesthetic—even across varying widths delivering a sophisticated solution where advanced engineering meets elevated design.

Operation and installation

The integrated motor ensures effortless, reliable operation by automatically detecting resistance and adjusting performance accordingly, providing safe and consistent use of your sun protection system. During installation, precision is easily achieved with adjustable two-part guide rails that allow for up to 3 millimetres of alignment on each side, ensuring a flawless fit.

A convenient plug-in connection simplifies power setup and allows for quick, accurate configuration of end positions. For ongoing maintenance, the system is thoughtfully designed with accessible service features, including a discreet service hatch that allows the fabric tube to be removed efficiently when needed.
