Architects & Specifiers Technical Information
We can assist you in planning the installation from initial drawings stage to enable blinds to be integrated into the final building. We can also provide technical support.
Below is an outline of our features and benefits. Click here for access to the full technical information.
Product Features and Benefits:
| Unique patented cord-tension system | Prevents "fan effect" when shaped blind retracted |
| UV stabilised polymer construction | Extremely stable when exposed to UV rays |
| Energy efficient | Reduces airconditioning and heating costs. Can be included in Energy Audit |
| Health & Safety Compliant | Powered option removes cords or chains on larger windows and friction operation on smaller windows |
| Anti-static | No dust particles to affect allergy sufferers and easy to keep clean |
| Range of transparencies from transparent to blackout | Can maintain or eliminate external view and light |
| Fits close to glass | Maximum efficiency in eliminating solar heat |
| Motorised patented PowerPleat option | Ease of operation and access. IPX4 Certified for proven reliability |
| Metalised coating option | Reflects more heat and glare, higher performance than standard vertical or roller blind |
| Heat-treated fabric ensuring permanency of pleats | Durability and much longer lifespan than standard blinds |
Product Specification:
| Light Transmission | The lower the % the more effective the fabric. All our fabrics range from 41% to 0%. 0% represents blackout fabric. |
| Solar Reflection | The higher the % the more solar energy will be reflected from the blind. All our fabrics range from 37% to 74% |
| Solar Transmission | The lower the % the more effective the fabric at reducing solar energy entering a room. Our fabric solar transmissions range from 41% to 0% |
| Thermal insulation (U Value) | Our blinds deliver U values ranging from 0.8W/msqk to 0.7W/msqk dependent on glazing specification and application |
| Ultra violet Transmission | The lower the % the more effective the performance. All our fabrics range from 44% to 2% |
| Flame Retardant | Our blinds are inherently retardant due to yarns used in their construction. All fully comply with industry standard BS 5867 |
| Colour fastness | Fabrics are measured by the internationally recognised level of colourfastness to light on an exponential scale of 1-8. All our fabrics are 5 or higher. |
