Building a zip screen that looks good is one thing; making sure it stays locked in place when a storm hits is another. At MAYDRIVE, we prefer to prove our quality on the factory floor rather than just talking about it. Operating through our website, maydrivemotor.com, we’ve just released raw factory testing footage showing our motorized zip screens (windproof roller blinds) going up against wind speeds powered by jet-engine-level fans.
In high-wind areas—whether on high-rise residential balconies, open patio covers, or aluminum pergolas—standard blinds often flap out of their tracks or suffer motor lockups. To guarantee real-world durability, our engineering team put MAYDRIVE zip screens through continuous high-velocity airflow tests. Thanks to our heavy-duty side-zipper track design and high-torque tubular motors, the screen remained completely steady, holding its tension without popping out or stalling.
Every project has different demands, which is why we keep our manufacturing agile and customizable. B2B partners, shade integrators, and distributors can order custom screen dimensions, select specific motor torque (Nm) outputs, choose control protocols (RF, smart home, or BMS integrations), and customize mounting profiles to match local market needs.
“We wanted to give our clients clear, unfiltered proof of how our zip screens perform under severe stress,” said Kevin, Sales Manager at MAYDRIVE. “Running these aircraft-level wind tests right in our facility gives our partners total confidence that they are installing a shade system built to handle tough outdoor conditions.”
