What determines the price of a zip screen? Size, fabric, motor and installation

18.10.2026 4 min read SkyArt Group

There is no single price per m² for a zip screen; the size, fabric group (Serge Ferrari or Screen), motorised or manual operation, sensors and installation conditions set it together. Since the difference between motorised and manual is small, motorised usually makes more sense.

Why there is no single price per m²

"Zip screen price per m²" is one of the most searched questions. But two screens of the same area can cost differently, because on a zip screen the cassette, side rails and motor depend on the width and height. On a small screen, the cassette and motor cost weighs more per square metre.

What sets the price

ItemEffect

Sensors and controlWind and sun sensors, wall switch, app
Number of screensSeveral screens on one remote
InstallationFixing to a pergola, wall or ceiling; power supply

Motorised or manual?

There is only a small price difference between motorised and manual zip screens, and the manual mechanism is harder to use and more prone to problems. So when you weigh total cost and comfort together, motorised usually makes more sense. More in: motorised or manual?
