ScreenLine

What ScreenLine does

ScreenLine, headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, is a specialty manufacturer of solar protection systems integrated within double-glazed insulated glass units. Founded in 2000 as a Brazilian licensee of Italian patent-holder Pellini, the company produces three core product lines — Linha Lâminas (micro aluminum slats with NO FOGGING anti-condensation treatment), Linha Blackout (pleated fabric blocking 99% of light), and Linha Twin (combined slat and blackout in a 27mm chamber). The differentiating technology is a patented magnetic actuation system that operates blinds sealed between the glass panes without perforating the perimeter seal, preserving the airtightness of the insulated chamber. Available in manual, motorized (direct-drive brushless), and self-powered (W Smart System, rechargeable via solar panel or micro USB) variants, the system is compatible with existing building and home automation platforms. The company's go-to-market is consultative enterprise field-sales targeting architects, specifiers, developers, and glaziers in Brazil and across Latin America, supported by technical specification services and certifications from IFT Rosenheim (Germany), TNO (Netherlands), and CSTB (France). Pricing is per unit (not per m²), with the magnetic actuation system as the primary cost driver and the best cost-benefit achieved on continuous glass panels exceeding 1.5 m². ScreenLine's primary vertical is hospitals and healthcare facilities, where the sealed system's aseptic, maintenance-free operation addresses hygiene requirements; secondary verticals include commercial offices, hospitality, residential, education, government, industrial, and energy — with over 250,000 m² installed in Brazil over 20+ years and claimed presence in 33 countries across five continents. The company is privately held, with 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and no parent-company relationship.

Core offering

ScreenLine manufactures and supplies solar protection systems (Linha Lâminas micro-aluminum slats, Linha Blackout pleated fabric, and Linha Twin combined system) integrated within double-glazed insulated glass units. The products are driven by a patented magnetic actuation mechanism, originally developed by Pellini (Italy) in 1992 and exclusively licensed for Brazil and Latin America, which controls the internal blinds without perforating the perimeter seal of the glass chamber. Products are specified for new construction and renovation projects across healthcare, commercial, hospitality, residential, educational, and industrial buildings.

Product overview

ScreenLine offers a patented magnetic-actuated solar protection system featuring aluminum slats or blackout fabric enclosed between double-glazed insulated glass units. The product portfolio consists of three distinct lines: Linha Lâminas (slat-based system with light-shelf effect for glare-free natural lighting and up to 80% solar protection), Linha Blackout (pleated fabric blocking 99% of light for complete privacy and darkness), and Linha Twin (combined slat and blackout system offering the versatility of both solutions in one unit). All lines operate via the company's proprietary magnetic actuation mechanism, are compatible with building and residential automation systems, and provide decades of maintenance-free durability by remaining sealed between glass panels.

Products and services

• Linha Lâminas Solar protection system with micro aluminum slats treated with exclusive NO FOGGING anti-fogging paint, sealed inside double-glazed insulated glass and operated by patented magnetic actuation. Provides up to 80% solar protection while maintaining outward visibility, and creates a light-shelf effect that redirects sunlight to the ceiling for uniform, glare-free natural daylighting. Available in manual (rod/wand, cord) and motorized variants. SL 20 and SL 27 slat-width variants exist (12.5 mm and 16 mm) for different window dimensions.
• Linha Blackout Light-blocking system featuring pleated fabric enclosed between double-glazed insulated glass panels, blocking 99% of sunlight for total privacy and darkness. Available in white-ice color and suitable for doors, windows, facades, and interior dividers. Operates via internal or external motorized actuation with home-automation integration capability, all driven by the same magnetic actuation mechanism as Linha Lâminas.
• Linha Twin Combined solar protection system integrating both micro aluminum slats and pleated blackout fabric inside a single double-glazed insulated glass unit. Users can orient the slats for natural daylight distribution or deploy the blackout layer for complete light blocking and privacy. Features internal motorized actuation with home-automation integration and operates exclusively with a 27 mm glass-chamber configuration.

Direct peers

• Mechoshade Systems: US manufacturer of architectural window shades and automated solar-control solutions targeting commercial and institutional construction. Comparable specification-driven GTM and addressable segments to ScreenLine.
• Pellini S.p.A. Pellini is the Italian originator (1992) of the magnetic actuation blinds-between-glass technology that ScreenLine exclusively licenses for Brazil/Latin America. Directly comparable as a blinds-integrated-IG system manufacturer serving similar architectural specification-driven channels.
• Unicel Architectural: Canadian manufacturer of integrated blinds-between-glass units (e.g., Vision Control) using magnet-controlled louvers sealed within insulating glass. Direct competitor in the integrated-blind IG category with similar healthcare, commercial, and high-end specification use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Hunter Douglas: Global leader in window coverings (interior and exterior blinds, shades, shutters). Overlaps with ScreenLine in shading/solar control for commercial and residential buildings, with a much broader SKU portfolio and global distribution.
• Solar Gard / Eastman Chemical (Window Films): Major manufacturer of architectural window films for solar control and UV protection on existing glazing. Different delivery mechanism (film retrofit vs. integrated factory-sealed blind) but competes for the same energy-reduction budget.
• Draper Inc. US manufacturer of window shades, projection screens, and solar-control solutions for commercial and institutional buildings. Overlaps with ScreenLine in architectural shading for healthcare, education, and corporate facilities.

Regional players

• Skyco Skylights: North American-based skylight and sloped-glazing manufacturer using integrated between-glass shading. Comparable glazing-integrated solar control concept, but primarily serving US/Canada rather than Latin America.

Emerging players

• Corning Architectural Technologies (SageGlass / View Dynamic Glass): Corning's SageGlass and View Inc.'s electrochromic dynamic glass compete with ScreenLine's sealed-blind solar control by tinting glazing electronically. Different mechanism but directly substitutes the same solar-protection function in premium commercial facades.
