How is a zip screen installed? Steps and what to watch

01.11.2026 5 min read SkyArt Group

Installing a zip screen is simple: fix the cassette at the top and the side rails at both edges, seat the fabric in the rails and connect the motor. Have an electrician do the wiring.

Installation steps

  1. Measure: Measure width and height at top, middle and bottom; use the narrowest value (measuring guide).
  2. Cassette: Fix the cassette that holds the rolled screen at the top.
  3. Side rails: Fix them at both edges, aligned with the cassette.
  4. Fabric: Seat the zipper edges of the fabric in the rails.
  5. Motor: Connect the motor, pair the remote and set the up and down limits.

What to watch

  • Have an electrician connect the motor.
  • Branches or leaves in front of the rails can catch in the channel; consider this when choosing the spot.
  • A single screen is at most 4500 × 3000 mm; divide wider fronts.
  • We give phone support if you get stuck.
