Tensioned Shading Systems
Retractable tensioned roller blind systems for horizontal and sloped glazing
Horiso is the exclusive Australian distributor of Guthrie Douglas, the global leader in retractable shading systems for distinct architectural spaces. Tensioned Shading Systems use a unique spring mechanism that constantly hold fabric flat, deploy in any direction and intelligently adapt to the surrounding environment. The system delivers smooth, silent performance and intelligent environmental response.
Horiso collaborates 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.
