The SHY ZIP Roof Blind is manufactured in the UK and is available in sizes to suit any domestic or commercial Roof Lantern or Skylight
SHY have been making electric blinds for Roof Lanterns and Skylights for many years, this is basically a flat roof roller blind using a motor and a constant tension spring system to keep the fabric as flat as possible, on larger systems they move to a twin motor called the fabric tension system, the SHY ZIP Roof Blind really was the first blind of this kind in the UK
These blinds are minimal in look and create the perfect shading solution for any glazed roof area, SHY offer their own range of fabrics which include black out density should your glass roof be in a Bedroom or Cinema room.
The SHY ZIP roof blind consists of a head box which contain the cloth, the roller tube and the motor, you then have a bottom box which contains the constant tension spring system or the other motor in the case of the FTS system, you also have two side channels where the fabric slides inside, this fabric is held captive inside these channels with the use of the ZIP. The ZIP is welded to the edge of the fabric and helps to create tension width wise and the motor and constant tension spring system help create tension length wise. The head box and bottom box is square in profile and come in three different sizes depending on how big the blind is, all of the metalwork is powder coated White or Black as standard but can be powder coated in any RAL colour for an additional charge should you wish.
Operation of these blinds is a via remote control handset or a wire free wall switch, all the motors specified by Radiant Blinds are the Somfy RTS motors, all Somfy motors carry a 5 year guarantee and we have found to be the best and most usable in the UK market. The RTS motors work off a radio signal meaning that you do NOT need line of sight to operate the blind, the signal from the remote control will travel through walls, ceilings, plaster word, brick and even concrete. All Somfy motors are 240v and require an adequate power supply to be put in place for Radiant to connect the blind too, we are happy to liaise with your builders or electricians to make sure the correct power supply is installed to the correct place to keep the installation as neat and tidy as possible.
