Tensioned Shading Systems
Retractable fabric-based systems for horizontal and sloped glazing.
Horiso is a distributor of technical shading systems by Guthrie Douglas, the global leader in automated retractable shading systems for extraordinary spaces.
Tensioned Shading Systems use a unique spring mechanism that constantly holds fabric flat, deploy in any direction and intelligently adapts to the surrounding environment.
Horiso collaborate with architects and design teams as early in the process as possible, to specify an interior or exterior shading system specific to your project, that will disappear into its surroundings when not in use, harnessing the power of light and shade as positive architectural features.

Key Features
Motorised Systems
All Tensioned Shading systems are motorised retractable systems.
Various Draw Directions
Various draw directions available:
bottom to top - top to bottom - side to side.
bottom to top - top to bottom - side to side.
Installation on Shaped glazing
Systems suitable for internal and external installations on a range of shaped glazing: rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal and circular.
Group Control of Blinds
Systems can be operated individually or group controlled across large glazed areas.
Smooth and Silent Operation
Single barrel mechanism keeps the fabric constantly under tension and produces a smooth, quiet travel.
High Quality and Durable Components
Return pulleys are manufactured in stainless steel.
