01 / Fabric properties
Colour for your room. Performance at the glass.
The front of the fabric creates the interior look, while a reflective coating can add solar protection. This is useful when you want an attractive texture with a practical function in a sunny room.
Surface sheen alone does not reveal every property. Compare the fabric code and technical information, not just the collection name.
02 / Fabric properties
Reflection and blackout are different properties.
A pearlescent coating does not automatically mean blackout. Manufacturers offer versions with different light transmission levels. First decide whether you want softer daylight or a room that is as dark as possible.
Key points: assess light transmission and solar reflection separately.
03 / Fabric properties
See it in your home.
Tell your consultant when the sun bothers you most and how you use the room. Holding a sample against the glass helps assess the light, while the room-facing side can be compared with furniture and walls.
A precise temperature change cannot be determined from the fabric description alone. The window, its orientation and ventilation also matter.
