Natural light and warmth are very beneficial during colder months, creating a welcoming ambience in the home or business. However, heat and harsh UV can make outside areas unbearable in the hotter months. By incorporating retractable shading in the form of an Issey MaxiZip you can control the amount of shade cover you have at any one time. This flexibility lets you keep outside spaces cool and shaded in summer, while still allowing in natural UV warmth during winter. Install a MaxiZip in your home or business today and create wonderful alfresco areas to be enjoyed – all year round.

The MaxiZip has a unique zip system that integrates with the track framework - forming a fully sealed canopy. This added advantage provides superior wind resistance (approx. 75kph) and also provides the option for the MaxiZip to be fitted with a waterproof fabric. By providing 100% water resistance the MaxiZip creates shelter from the rain and allows the creation of fully protected outside areas.
