Fabrics : What can they do?

An insight as to what you can expect from your blinds, and the various fabrics that are available, including Blackout, Solar Protective, Pollergen and more…

Each fabric will have a number of redeeming qualities, however some can perform better than others, depending on your requirements.

 

BLACKOUT

  • Designed to prevent any light from penetrating through the actual material. Ideal for bedrooms and spaces where you wish to reduce the light as much as possible. Works exceptionally well with our Blockout Systems.

 

POLLERGEN

  • This window treatment has been designed to help reduce the amount of pollen in the room by just over 50% – so it’s the perfect choice for those who suffer badly from hayfever! Backed by ‘Allergy UK’, this treatment is applied to certain fabrics, and has an active ingredient which captures and neutralises the pollen in the air, so that when it comes away from the blind, it is virtually harmless.

 

SOLAR PROTECTIVE COATING (SPC)

  • A treatment which is applied to specific fabrics, which helps to reflect heat and light much more effectively than a standard fabric. Applied to the reverse of the fabric, this coating has proven to be beneficial in reducing heat loss during winter months, along with reducing the build up of heat in the summer. This helps to conserve energy and reduce heating bills along with the additional benefit of minimising glare. PSC is a no-brainer for specific areas such as conservatories, summer homes and office spaces.

 

ULTRAFRESH

  • Fabrics treated with Ultrafresh provide an additional protective layer against the growth of odours which cause bacteria, mould, fungi and mildew. This fabric is an excellent choice for healthcare settings, care homes, schools nurseries and areas where these harmful odours may be likely. Ultrafresh’s antimicrobial treatment is an extra defence which works by attacking the growth of  unwanted microbes and as an additional benefit, also helps to prevent stains, leaving the fabric clean and fresh looking at all times!
