ZION Sliding sunshade system – Control the sun, live in comfort

Louvered Roof ideas for an attractive outdoor space

In modern architecture, beauty and function must work hand in hand. The ZION Sliding Sunshade System by SCHILDR is designed exactly for that — to blend natural warmth with modern engineering.Built from premium aluminum and finished with wood-effect lamination, ZION creates the timeless look of real wood while keeping all the durability and low-maintenance benefits of aluminum. The result? A clean, modern shading system that turns any terrace, façade, or outdoor space into a year-round retreat.

Take Control of the Sunlight

ZION’s sliding panels let you easily adjust how much sunlight enters your space.

Whether you want full shade during the afternoon heat or filtered light for a cozy morning, you decide how your environment feels.

  • Reduce heat and glare in summer
  • Allow natural warmth and brightness in winter
  • Save energy by naturally regulating indoor temperature

It’s the perfect balance between design, comfort, and smart living.

Wood-Effect Lamination — Nature Meets Technology

Unlike regular powder-coated panels, ZION uses wood-effect lamination, a special high-temperature transfer process that applies natural wood texture directly onto aluminum.

That means:

  • A warm, organic wood look — without any of the upkeep
  • Long-lasting resistance to UV rays, humidity, and corrosion
  • A finish that won’t peel, fade, or discolor over time

You can choose from multiple lamination tones — light oak, dark walnut, teak, or modern gray — to match your architectural style perfectly.

Flexible Configurations – Double, Triple, or Quad Systems

Every project is unique, so ZION comes in modular configurations:

  • 2-panel systems – great for small patios or balconies
  • 3-panel systems – ideal for medium terraces or restaurant fronts
  • 4-panel systems – perfect for wide façades, villas, or poolside areas

Each module glides smoothly on its own track and can be operated manually or motorized — providing effortless control at the touch of a button.

Combine with Other SCHILDR Systems

ZION integrates seamlessly with SCHILDR’s other architectural systems — such as the CABBANA Motorized Louvered Roof, FORTE Zip Screen, or GRANDE Sunroom — to create a fully enclosed, climate-controlled outdoor living space that you can enjoy all year long.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean my ZION panels?

Very simple — just use a soft cloth and mild soapy water.

Because the laminated finish is sealed and smooth, it doesn’t require any sanding, painting, or special maintenance.

Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges — that’s it! A quick wipe keeps your panels looking brand-new for years.

Can the wood color be customized?

Absolutely.

We offer a variety of wood laminations — from natural oak to deep walnut and modern gray tones.

Each one is UV-resistant and weatherproof, so your chosen look stays consistent even under strong sun and rain.

Is it durable in harsh weather?

Yes — ZION is engineered with 6063-T6 structural aluminum, ensuring full resistance to:

  • Intense sun and UV exposure
  • Coastal humidity and salt air
  • Wind and temperature changes

It’s designed for coastal, desert, and four-season climates alike.

Can I combine ZION with a roof or screen system?

Definitely.

Many homeowners and architects pair ZION with the CABBANA Louvered Roof or FORTE Zip Screen to create a multi-layered shading system — offering both vertical and overhead protection for maximum comfort.
