Components for Shading Solutions

We supply precision-engineered components to leading shade and exterior screen manufacturers across North America and globally. From roller tubes and tension systems to brush seals and mounting brackets, our parts are built to exact specifications - helping you reduce costs without compromising quality.

The exterior shading and motorized screen market continues to expand as homeowners and commercial builders invest in energy efficiency, insect protection, and outdoor living. Zip screen systems, retractable screens, and motorized awnings all consume brush seals, roller tubes, guide tracks, and mounting hardware at high volume.
