Maximize ENERGY SAVINGS
While Elevating Style.

Curious about 10% vs. 5% openness in sunscreen roller blinds? A 10% fabric lets in more light, preserves your
view, and softens glare, while lower percentages increase privacy and shade. Openness—measured in
percent—defines how much light and transparency your window treatment offers, letting you choose the
balance of view, light, and comfort.

Sun-Smart Style, Daytime Privacy.

Sunscreen fabrics are the quiet heroes of a well-designed space, reflecting solar energy and softly filtering
natural light to help reduce energy consumption. They shield furniture and furnishings from fading and
discoloration, blocking 85–95% of harmful UV rays. By day, they offer a sense of privacy—letting you enjoy the
view while keeping the outside out. At night, however, their protection wanes, providing neither complete
privacy nor insulation after dark.

These yarns provide high heat and weather resistance, longevity, dimensional stability and fire retardancy. The yarns are also mould resistant and can therefore be safely installed in bathrooms and areas of high humidity and moisture.

Heat Protection

In summer the need for heat protection is a key consideration in the comfort of the building occupants and the cost of cooling the building with air conditioning.

Sunscreens transmit as little as 7% of heat, depending on colour and weave. Lighter colours and less open fabrics reflect more heat than darker colours in more open weaves.

Sunscreens provide the greatest heat protection when fitted externally, as they stop most of the sun’s rays before they reach the glass.

Heat Protection

UV ProtectionUV protection. UV radiation damages furnishings – unprotected carpets near windows can fade within months. Sunscreens filter UV radiation, reflecting up to 94% of the UV radiation that is transmitted through the window.

Rollershades

Investment dressing for your windows Style and practicality are usually not words that you would use in the same breath, but Sunscreen fabrics combine both.

Sunscreens

The balance between light and shade, Sunscreens have become the product of choice for shading windows and it is very easy to understand why.

Hardware Specification

Chain control, automation and spring control utilise extruded aluminium roller tube and hard-wearing UV resistant plastics. Durability Glass fibre based fabrics possess inherent strength, dimensional stability and chemical resistance. Polyester fabrics are also available to provide an environmentally friendly option while still offering high levels of performance. Sunscreens are naturally resistant to growth of mould and mildew and are easily cleaned.

Automation

All Sunscreens and Rollershades can be automated with remote control, wall switches or linked to Home Automation Systems.

Maintaining your outside view

The unique weave of Sunscreen fabrics allows a view through the fabric from the area of lesser light to the area of greater light. That means that during the day, building occupants can see through the fabric to the outside, while there is a high level of privacy from people looking from the outside into the building. The darker the colour, the greater the amount of light transmitted, hence the better the view through the fabric. In fact, black fabric provides very little obstruction to the view outside.

Sufficient natural light

Human beings crave natural light. It sets our body clock and triggers the sensation of colour in our brain. The open weave of Sunscreens filters natural light – the higher the openness factor and the lighter the colour, the more light is transmitted.

Sunscreens transmit around 5% to 25% of the outside light, depending on the weave and colour, and so provide significant shading that supplements the shading provided by the glass.

Glare reduction

Reflections and high luminance variations cause eye discomfort, particularly where people are using computers. Sunscreens provide uniform shading across a window, eliminating light spots and annoying reflections. The darker the colour, the greater the glare reduction.
