🧱 Screeny Technical Specifications

A detailed breakdown of Screeny system configurations, tube sizes, cassette options, maximum widths, and the structural differences between GPZ and Storm models.

Screeny Systems Under 5m Wide

Designed for standard residential openings and smaller alfresco areas.

  • 63–80mm tube Suitable for most domestic installations under 5m.
  • 110mm cassette or 130mm cassette Provides clean housing and improved fabric protection.
  • Cabrio option (no cassette) Open‑style system for installations where a cassette is not required.

Screeny Systems Over 5m Wide (Up to 8m)

Engineered for large spans and commercial‑grade openings.

  • 110mm tube Required for maintaining rigidity across wider widths.
  • Single extrusion across the full length (no joins) Ensures structural stability and eliminates weak points.
  • 150mm cassette Larger housing designed to accommodate the heavier tube and wider fabric roll.
  • No Cabrio option Cassette is mandatory for structural integrity at these sizes.

GPZ vs Storm — Key Differences

A comparison of the two major Screeny side‑channel systems.

Storm System

Built for high‑wind environments and exposed installations.

  • 80km/h wind rating Tested and rated for significantly higher wind loads.
  • Spring‑tension side channels Provides stronger fabric retention and reduces blow‑outs.
  • Heavier bottom‑rail extrusion Minimises flex and bending on large spans or windy sites.
  • Bottom rail fits within the side channel Creates a sealed, interlocking system for improved stability.

GPZ System

Ideal for standard residential applications.

  • Standard wind resistance
  • Lighter bottom rail
  • Conventional side‑channel engagement
  • Suitable for sheltered or moderate‑exposure installations

Summary

Screeny systems offer multiple configurations depending on width, exposure, and structural requirements. The Storm model provides enhanced wind resistance and stronger mechanical components, while GPZ suits typical residential installations.
