Shading that meets every demand — for home and business.
MetaForm – Mottura collaboration
MetaForm designs and manufactures premium shading systems of its own design and engineering, continuously developing them for almost three decades, with an emphasis on quality, reliability, and architectural excellence.
Last year, MetaForm entered into a strategic collaboration with Mottura, one of the most renowned Italian companies in the field of shading systems and a pioneer in the development of advanced ZIP technology vertical shading systems.
This partnership is based on shared values: high manufacturing standards, technological development, and timeless design.
Exclusive Representation
As part of this collaboration, MetaForm is Mottura’s exclusive representative in Greece for external shading systems, effectively enhancing the range and level of solutions it offers.
The addition of Mottura systems ideally complements MetaForm’s portfolio, combining Greek know-how and application experience with Italian expertise, innovation, and attention to detail in design.
ZIP TopBox
Premium vertical shading system
Zip TopBox is an advanced vertical shading system designed for effective light control, shading, and privacy in residential and commercial spaces, meeting high architectural requirements.
The WPRO side guides, combined with heat-sealed zippers, offer increased stability, excellent sealing, and high resistance to demanding weather conditions.
One of the key advantages of Mottura vertical ZIP systems is automatic locking. When fully closed, the counterweight locks onto the guides, providing excellent sealing, increased wind resistance, and minimal energy loss.
Certified according to EN 13561:2015 and made of AISI stainless steel, Zip TopBox is known for its sturdy build and dependable long-term performance. Available with electric drive and remote control options.
Important Features & Benefits
Robust construction & certified reliability
Zip TopBox is certified according to EN 13561:2015 and features AISI stainless-steel components for excellent corrosion resistance and long service life.
Outstanding wind resistance (Class 6 – up to 88 km/h)
Delivers enhanced safety in harsh weather conditions, with Class 6 wind resistance certification, tested up to 88 km/h.
Superior wind tightness with WPRO side guides
Wind-resistant side guides ensure a perfect seal against wind, keeping the fabric stable and precisely aligned.
Heat-welded “zippers” for secure fabric retention
The heat-welded zippers prevent the fabric from slipping out of the guide, increasing durability and reliability under use and wind loads.
Block Wind Device: reinforced locking for strong winds
An innovative mechanical system that stabilizes components and strengthens the overall structure, providing extra confidence in demanding conditions.
Flexible operation & smart control
Available with crank or motor operation, with smart control options via intelligent wall switches, the TaHoma app, and voice commands.
Sealing for uneven ceilings & solutions for sloped floors
Special flanged gaskets ensure an excellent fit to the headbox even on uneven surfaces, while adjustment options are available for sloped floors and for closing the gap at the bottom.

Covering Materials
Zip TopBox system can be configured with two different covering materials, depending on the needs of the space and the desired result:
- Perforated PVC: Ideal for effective shading and reduction of solar radiation, while allowing natural ventilation and comfort, without completely isolating the space.
- Transparent PVC: Protects from wind and weather conditions, while maintaining visibility and brightness. Features new generation heat sealing (Invisible Seam technology), which makes the joint almost invisible, unlike conventional techniques used today.
Inclined Floors
