The heroal Zipscreen sun protection fabrics are high-performance technical fabrics. They effectively prevent heat and glare from entering by intercepting the sun’s rays before they even reach the window glass. This reliably prevents overheating and creates a comfortable indoor climate. At the same time, the fabrics fulfil a decorative function and offer a high degree of design freedom. The materials used are water-repellent, mould- and rot-resistant, UV-resistant, have good air permeability and are stain-resistant, and are designed for long-term use outside.
The so-called opening factor (OF) describes the transparency of a fabric:
Sergé fabrics are made from woven fibre glass with a PVC coating. This combination results in particularly supple fabrics that are pleasant to the touch and offer a clear view of the outside. These high-quality, high-tech fabrics are ideal for sophisticated architectural projects and are available in a wide range of colours and designs.
Soltis is a coated, pre-stressed polyester fabric with high tensile strength. Thanks to being tensioned in both directions and fixed with liquid PVC, the fabric retains its shape even under heavy loads. With its low tendency to sag, Soltis is particularly well suited to large glass surfaces and is available in over 100 colour and design options.
The Flexilight 6002 Opaque fabric offers particularly effective UV protection. Its special surface texture is stain-resistant and easy to care for. At the same time, this flexible material impresses with its ease of processing and durability.
The Orchestra sun protection fabric is made from fine acrylic fibres and features an exclusive Cleangard coating. This makes the fabric particularly water- and dirt-repellent, colourfast and durable. Ideal for anyone who values a high-quality look and minimal maintenance.
Twilight Pearl is a modern, 100 per cent PVC-free fabric designed to provide high-quality privacy, glare and sun protection. Its textile character ensures an attractive appearance, whilst the harmonious transparency maintains the view to the outside. The odourless fabric actively utilises daylight, reduces annoying glare and provides effective protection against overheating in summer. Thanks to its high weather resistance and flame-retardant properties, Twilight Pearl is ideal for sophisticated textile sun protection solutions.
