How do Wire Guide Screens differ from Zip-Track Screens?
Unlike Zip-Track Screens, which use a fully enclosed track system to secure the fabric tightly, Wire Guide Screens rely on stainless steel cables for guidance.

Where are Wire Guide Screens best suited?
Wire Guide Screens are ideal for patios, balconies, pergolas, and outdoor windows, providing excellent sun protection, heat reduction, and privacy while allowing outward visibility. They work best in areas where complete wind protection is not required.
Can Wire Guide Screens be manual?
