Solarzip™ Drop Down Awnings: Sturdy Protection from Wind and Rain
Solarzip™ Drop Down Awnings are designed as a vertical awning system with encapsulated side guides, offering a stable and reliable shield against wind and rain. The unique high-temperature welded zip keeps the fabric securely within the guide rails, minimizing movement even during strong gusts.
These awnings feature patented heavy-duty PVC inserts that act as movement absorbers, preventing fabric tears within the tracks — an improvement over less advanced systems. For added convenience, Solarzip™ Drop Down Awnings can be equipped with an optional headbox, which neatly stores the screen when not in use.
Available in a wide range of fabrics, mesh or clear PVC, we particularly recommend the Solarview mesh. Solarview allows for clear views from the inside while maintaining privacy from the outside, providing an aesthetically pleasing alternative to clear PVC, which may show marks more quickly.
Awning Automation The Nice Way
Nice tubular electric motors, remote controls and wind sensors combine design and ergonomic functionality to increase your comfort and safety. The motors fit discreetly inside the rolling axle to control your Retractable Awning in a single movement. Sophisticated shock-proof materials, immaculate finish, and essential wear, comfort and ease are guaranteed by the internationally renowned and prize winning Nice Italian designs.
NiceWay® and Ondo® Remote Controls
NiceWay is a range of advanced transmitter modules to control AWNINGS, ROLLER SHUTTERS or gates. Ondo is the versatile NiceWay line support; the wall support with its simple magnetic fixing system, transforms Ondo from a comfortable portable remote control to an inconspicuous wall plate. Ondo made in shiny dirt resistant plastic has a rubber lower section to improve grip.
