Sunlight Reflection
Fabrics for Selt reflectors and Selt awning blinds
Solar radiation is always partially transmitted, absorbed or reflected by the fabric.
Ts – Solar energy transmission. The proportion of solar energy passing through the fabric. A low percentage of this parameter means that the fabric reduces solar energy well.
gtote – Total solar energy transmittance. Solar energy that actually penetrates the room through the blinds and glazing. A low value means good thermal performance.
Tv – Transmission of visible light. The total percentage of light radiating through the fabric at wavelengths of 380 to 780 nm (nanometers). This is the so-called visible spectrum (total illumination).
As – Absorption of solar radiation. The proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the fabric. A low percentage of this parameter means that the fabric absorbs little solar energy.
Rs – Reflection of solar radiation. The proportion of solar radiation reflected from the fabric. A high percentage of this parameter means that the fabric reflects solar energy well.
Opening factor – fabric opening degree (So)
The relative area of fabric holes is determined independently of color. For fabrics with the same weave, the opening factor should be measured based on the darkest color in the collection. So – Opening Degree given in the left corner of each fabric group in the configurator. The higher the percentage, the greater the degree of opening and, therefore, the greater the light transmission. The description of the remaining properties can be found in the template below.
