Innovation in technology and design allow this offering to let in natural light while blocking the glare and heat associated with it. The Chroma solar shade aluminum fabric features high reflectance backing and expands Mermet USA’s offerings of high-performance Sun Control Textiles. The fabric’s fiberglass yarn—combined with a nano-layer of aluminum—cuts glare, provides thermal comfort, and performs well in adhesion, weathering, and breaking strength tests. Its unique construction of fiberglass and metal enables view-through, while a variety of colors and tightly woven design provide fashion in addition to function. Here’ how it all breaks down:
78
percent of solar radiation is reflected.
98
percent of visible light is blocked.
29
percent improvement in Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is attained when used with a standard insulated glass unit.
36:64
percent ratio of its composition between fiberglass and vinyl.
2x2
basket weave style is left visually intact because its nano-layer of aluminum only covers the fabric’s fibers.
5
classic shades are available.
1976
is the year Mermet entered the solar protection market.
