Motorized Shading for Roof Applications
Roof zip screen systems are motorized fabric shading systems installed beneath roof structures such as glass roofs, pergolas, and other glazed overhead systems. Using the same core principle as vertical zip screens, the fabric moves within a guided rail system to deliver shading exactly where it is needed.
Installed under the roof, these systems help filter direct sunlight, reduce glare on glass and transparent surfaces, and lower heat buildup in bright areas. The result is a more comfortable and usable space throughout the day, especially during strong sun exposure.
Roof zip screens are ideal for glass pergola roofs, fixed or retractable glass roofs, winter gardens, sun rooms, covered terraces, patio roofs, and other glazed residential or commercial spaces. They are a practical solution for improving comfort while preserving the clean and open feel of the structure.
Designed for Roof Comfort & Clean Integration
Built for Roof Systems
Motorized Convenience
High-Quality Screen Fabrics
Slim, Discreet Profiles
Improved Daily Comfort
Seamless Shade Control for Bright Overhead Spaces
Roof zip screen systems create a softer, more balanced atmosphere beneath glazed roofs by managing daylight in a controlled and elegant way. Their discreet under-roof integration preserves openness and transparency while helping outdoor living areas feel calmer, cooler, and visually more comfortable throughout changing daylight conditions.
Ideal Applications for Roof Zip Screens
Roof zip screen systems are best used wherever an overhead glazed or pergola roof allows in too much direct sun at certain times of day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about pergola systems, installation, and performance.
Regulations vary by country, city, and project type. In many cases, bioclimatic pergolas require approval, especially when enclosed with glass. We can provide technical drawings and information to support conversations with your architect or local authorities.
Timelines depend on project size and season. After design approval, production typically takes several weeks, followed by an agreed installation date. We’ll share a detailed schedule with your offer.
Impergo systems are engineered and configured according to local wind loads and exposure. Integrated drainage channels manage rainwater, and when closed, the roof is designed to protect people and furniture below.
Yes. For colder regions, we select appropriate profiles, spans, and roof systems. Glass and shading options help improve comfort and energy performance
Mostly simple care: cleaning aluminium and glass with mild detergent, keeping drainage channels clear, and having motors and moving parts inspected at recommended intervals.
Many Impergo pergolas are designed to accept glass walls and shading systems at a later stage. You can start with a roof-only system and upgrade as your needs evolve.
Yes. Most bioclimatic louvered and retractable roofs can be motorized, with options for remote control, wall switches, app integration, and weather sensors.
We offer defined warranty periods for the aluminium structure, motors, and surface finishes. Details are provided with each project proposal.
