What is a zip screen?
A zip screen is a guided screen arrangement for an opening. The selected system, guides, material and operation must be specified for the actual balcony or doorway. Product details can differ between brands.
Manual or motorized operation?
Manual operation is listed from ₹950 per sq ft. Automatic screens use a motorized configuration and are listed at ₹1,450–₹1,700 per sq ft. Discuss power provision, controls and installation access for the automatic option.
Check the opening and exposure
The selected mounting needs to suit the opening and exposure. Discuss wind and rain conditions, clear access and how the chosen screen should be operated in poor weather. A screen is not an assurance of weatherproofing or balcony safety.
Compare the right configurations
A small fixed window screen and a large guided balcony screen serve different openings. Compare operation, mounting, dimensions and maintenance access rather than assuming that one type replaces every other.
