Exterior retractable screens

Comfort, protection and elegance for your outdoor or commercial spaces.

Enjoy your spaces without insects or excessive heat

At home or in business, our VRM Industries retractable screens turn your spaces into comfortable, ventilated and protected areas. Invisible when open, effective when deployed, they form a discreet barrier against insects, dust and UV rays. With or without motorization, they fit any style of architecture.

FabricsDiscreet protection, natural ventilation

High-density technical fabric with ultra-fine mesh: effective protection without hindering airflow.

  • Coated fibreglass fine mesh: tear-resistant, easy to clean
  • UV reduction up to 50%, depending on the fabric
  • Anti-pollen option for allergy sufferers
  • Less dust and fine particles in light commercial or industrial settings

Roll boxDiscreet integration

The box protects the fabric when not in use, prevents dust build-up and extends the product's life. It fits every opening, from a door to a large patio.

Guide systemCables or ZIP rails

The cable system, discreet and economical, suits small sheltered openings. The ZIP rail system keeps the fabric taut in sustained wind, with better sealing and less risk of jamming. Both ensure smooth, quiet movement.

Finishes and framesCustomization

Several frame colours and fabric densities, according to your needs for privacy, light and sun protection, while preserving the view outside.

Manual or motorizedYour space, your pace

The manual mechanism is smooth and durable; Somfy motorization brings maximum comfort for large openings or high installations, and syncs with your shutters or solar shades.

Frequently asked questions

Can a screen be motorized later?

Yes, in most cases, provided the box and the guide rails were designed for a Somfy motor. Mention it to our team at the estimate.

Do the fabrics protect against rain?

The fabrics are not waterproof, but they limit splashes, wind-driven drops and light rain. For real weather protection, we combine them with solar shades.

What kinds of businesses install this type of screen?

Restaurants, cafés, hotels, spas, clinics, gyms, event spaces and warehouses: anywhere a semi-open space must stay comfortable and clean. Contrasting lines, anti-pollen fabrics and UV filtering meet public-access standards.

Can they be removed in winter?

It isn't necessary: they are designed to stay installed year-round. The box protects the rolled fabric, and the ZIP system blocks snow and gusts up to 89 km/h.

Are there annual maintenance fees?

Very little maintenance: a gentle wash with soapy water once or twice a season. No mandatory annual fee; an optional inspection is offered for commercial installations.

What is the difference from a solar shade?

The screen is first about ventilation and keeping insects out, with a clear view. The solar shade blocks heat and UV with a more opaque fabric. The two complement each other: a solar shade on the west side, screens on the other façades.
