DESIGN
The fabric has zippers on the sides, and if the guide rails are properly installed, the zippers ensure the fabric remains
taut in any position of the lower profile thanks to the tension between the zipper and the guide rails.
Cracking may be heard when rolling up the shutter, which is caused by the fabric tension that expels air from below the
fabric when rolling up. Wrinkling may also appear on the zipper side, caused by various material thicknesses and the
related expansion factors.
In case of blackout shutters, the zippers are on the Soltis side of the fabric, not on the side with the blackout film, which
increases adhesion and lower fabric movement. Due to this fact, it may be possible that part of the fabric in the zipper
may be visible due to wind force or in oblique view, but this is of little importance compared to the overall view or the
fabric tension (reduction of wrinkling).
When the 86/92 fabric is used, the zippers are always on the back side of the fabric –i.e., facing the window. In addition
to placing an inscription or a logo to the fabric, it is also possible to inverse the fabric colour or the fabric side on the
sunshade.
BLACKOUT
The Veranda can also be used to black out the room, i.e., to protect it from light coming from the outside during
presentations or projections, but it is not a 100% blackout during which it would be possible to develop photographs.
The following must be taken into account to achieve proper blackout:
• It is only possible by using a blackout fabric.
• The spaces between the guide rails, the box, the wall, and the window frame must be carefully sealed (for example, by
using silicone, rails, etc.).
• Wind action may cause the bottom lath to waft up, and a gap may occur as a result.
• Account should be taken of a small gap between the extension pole and the guide rail.
• Placing an extra angled profile (30×20×2) for the bottom section against the wall reduces the chance of light
penetration even more.
FASTENERS
All fasteners are made of stainless steel, and all accessories are always part of the supply.
PACKAGING
The Veranda HRV80-ZIP is supplied packed in rigid cardboard boxes.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper use and maintenance substantially increase the Veranda’s service life.
Do not use the Veranda as rain or wind protection.
Regular maintenance prevents excessive wear and operational problems.
Cleaning the frame: use soft water instead of aggressive substances that are likely to damage the coating and
protective layers.
Cleaning the fabric: in dry condition, using a semi-stiff brush.
Remove stubborn stains with warm water and a weak solution of a detergent, then rinse with plenty of clean water.
Prior to rolling up, leave the fabric to completely dry up (this also applies in case of unexpected rain).
