Guided motorized screening

Close the side. Keep the space flexible.

Lower the screen when sun, privacy or exposure interrupts the space. Raise it again when an open view is preferred.

Why the guided design matters

More controlled than a free-hanging screen.

The screen edges move inside vertical channels while the motor adjusts coverage. The complete layout is then planned around the opening and fixing surface.

01

Edges stay guided

Both vertical fabric edges travel inside side channels instead of hanging unsupported.

02

Open or close on demand

Motorized movement adjusts vertical coverage as sunlight, privacy and space use change.

03

Select the visual result

Choose the desired balance of shade, privacy and outward visibility during project review.

04

Planned around the site

Opening dimensions, fixing surface, installation direction and finish are reviewed together.

System details

The parts that keep the screen controlled.

A protected cassette, guided fabric edges and a reinforced bottom rail work together as one complete exterior screen system.

Guided bottom rail
01

Guided bottom rail

The reinforced bottom member travels with the screen while both fabric edges remain captured inside the side channels.

Filtered outdoor view
02

Filtered outdoor view

Screen fabrics soften glare and exposure without automatically turning the opening into a solid visual barrier.

Protected upper cassette
03

Protected upper cassette

The motor and rolled fabric sit inside the upper cassette, coordinated with the vertical guides at each side.

Profiles & components

Built as a complete guided-screen system.

The visible aluminum profiles are only part of the assembly. Motor, roller tube, zip edge, guide inserts, spring strips, end caps and the moving bottom rail are coordinated around the finished opening.

A-B

Cassette shell

Upper and lower aluminum covers protect the rolled fabric and internal drive while allowing planned service access.

C

Tubular motor

The motor sits inside the roller tube so the drive remains contained within the headbox.

D

Roller tube

Supports the fabric across the opening and rotates with the motor to raise or lower the screen evenly.

N-O-P

Side-guide assembly

Outer rail, upper guide and spring strip work with the zip edge to keep both fabric sides captured as the screen moves.

F-Q

Bottom rail & end caps

The reinforced moving rail spans the lower edge; matched end components guide its travel inside both side channels.

G-M

Ends, covers & fixings

Side covers, rail caps and internal fasteners finish the enclosure and protect connection points.

01 / COMPACT HEADBOX

108 mm cassette

A compact 108 x 108 mm aluminum enclosure for reviewed openings where a smaller architectural headbox is preferred.

Profile wall reference: 2.0 mm. Final selection depends on finished size and site conditions.

02 / LARGE HEADBOX

130 mm cassette

A larger 130 x 130 mm enclosure used when the reviewed screen size, roller package or project layout requires more internal capacity.

Profile wall reference: 2.0 mm. Larger size does not by itself confirm the final wind rating.

03 / MOVING EDGE

Reinforced bottom rail

The 30 x 70 mm aluminum rail closes the moving edge, accepts matched internal components and travels within the side-guide system.

Profile wall reference: 1.0 mm. Internal configuration and ballast vary with the project.
Why the assembly matters

Profile size, roller tube, motor, fabric, guide insert and fixing method must be reviewed together. Replacing one item with a visually similar part can change travel clearance, fabric alignment and wind performance.

Choose the balance of shade, privacy and view.

Fabric directions

Choose the balance of shade, privacy and view.

Fabric openness changes how much light, airflow and outward visibility the screen retains. Start with the intended use, then confirm the exact material and color during project review.

3% / 5% Solar Screen

Denser screen choices for stronger glare control and privacy while retaining a filtered outdoor view.

10% Solar Screen

A balanced everyday choice when shade, airflow and outward visibility all matter.

30% Solar Screen

A more open weave for greater visibility and airflow in exposed or high-rise applications.

Specialty Fabrics

Full blackout, clear TPU and Serge Ferrari PES options are available for project-specific requirements.

Colors and weave shown online are indicative. Confirm the final fabric sample during project review.

Installation approaches

Inside mount, outside mount, or structural integration.

The best approach depends on recess depth, fixing strength, service access and the way the opening meets the surrounding structure.

Inside mount, outside mount, or structural integration.
01

Inside mount

Recess the cassette and side guides within a prepared opening for a cleaner, more integrated facade line.

02

Outside mount

Fix the system to the face around the opening when recess depth is limited or broader edge coverage is preferred.

03

Column supported

Integrate the screen with pergola posts or a dedicated frame where no continuous wall opening is available.

04

Multi-bay layout

Coordinate several screens across a larger opening, with cassette, fixing and control positions reviewed together.

Made for real outdoor spaces

From private balconies to hospitality terraces.

Use the screen where adjustable vertical coverage helps manage sun, privacy and changing use throughout the day.

Prepare for project review

Three details move the quote forward.

  1. 01Estimate the opening

    Share approximate width and height. Final production dimensions are reviewed later.

  2. 02Show the fixing surface

    A clear site photo helps identify inside, outside or structural mounting conditions.

  3. 03Confirm use and destination

    Tell us where the screen will be used, the quantity and delivery location.

Plan with fewer unknowns

Before requesting your windproof roller shade

How is this different from a conventional outdoor roller shade?

A conventional shade may hang with unsupported side edges. This system guides both fabric edges inside vertical channels for a more controlled enclosure.

Does every size achieve 123 mph wind resistance?

123 mph is the stated maximum wind-resistance level. Finished size, cassette selection, fixing surface, mounting method and installation quality affect the final result, so the project configuration must be reviewed before production.

Do I need final measurements before contacting you?

No. Approximate width and height are enough to begin. A site photo and mounting-surface description help BESITSOL identify the next measurements required.

Can the screen be installed inside or outside the opening?

Both approaches may be possible. The correct direction depends on available clearance, the fixing surface and access for installation.

How do I choose a fabric?

For higher privacy, start with 5% openness or blackout fabric. A 10% openness screen suits general daily use, while 30% openness is recommended for windy or high-rise locations. Clear TPU provides a transparent option. Final selection is confirmed for the project.

What warranty applies?

The motor carries a 2-year warranty. The 10-year fabric colorfastness statement describes expected color retention and is not a fabric warranty.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Start with the approximate opening size, quantity, application and delivery destination. Mounting details and site photos can follow during project review.

What happens after I submit the project details?

The project team reviews the opening, intended use and installation conditions, then confirms what additional dimensions or selections are needed before preparing the quotation.
