Architects and designers have started to work with the design principles of biophilic design to create interior environments that have elements of natural lights, fresh and natural elements into the space. These spaces create an environment that foster mental wellness for everyone, not just children.
While architects are focused on creating environments that foster mental wellness for all, parents are focused on having a safe yard for your pets and children to play in. Parents often focus on obvious outdoor safety solutions like gates & fences to keep children and pets safely contained in the yard, but what about the awnings or shading solutions?
Exterior Roller Shades
Outdoor roller shades are a powerful addition to any outdoor entertainment area. These shades can minimize the wind impact, block insects, and keep weather out of the shaded area. Outdoor shades add sophistication to any outdoor entertainment area.
Our Zipscreen solution creates the ultimate exterior shading experience. Zipscreen shades are created using our unique zip-fed fastening system. Our award-winning Ultra-Lock v2 mechanism adds safety and security to the shade by securely locking the system in place, making it difficult for children to remove the shade from its position.
All Zipscreen systems are designed as cord-free products for a truly child-safe solution. Manual Zipscreen systems can be controlled through Rollease Acmeda’s trusted spring system using a crank gear or easy-pull hem bar.

Automated For Safety
Motorized shades add convenience to exterior shading solutions. Adding automation to these systems add convenience to the outdoor space. For the most part, exterior shades are larger than normal interior home shades which can make controlling the shade difficult.
Large outdoor shades that come down like garage doors can potentially injure small pets or children. Pairing exterior shading systems like Zipscreen with an Automate™ FT Motor adds additional layers of safety to the outdoor patio environment.
Automate™’s FT Motor has impact detection to stop a shade that encounters an obstacle in its path. When the FT Motor detects an obstacle hitting the hem bar, the motor will try again twice before automatically settling above the obstruction instead of continuing to close. This protects your children and pets from being harmed by a roller shade moving to the down position.
Create a truly automatic shading solution by pairing the FT Motor with the Pulse 2 Hub. Use the Pulse 2 app to set schedules and timers or integrate into third-party systems such as the popular voice assistants Alexa®, Google Home Assistant®, or Apple HomeKit, or a sophisticated home automation platform such as Crestron, Control4, Savant, and more.
Automate offers sun and wind sensors to trigger operations of the motorized shading system by opening and closing the shade depending on the weather.
