In pursuing the goal of becoming an increasingly sustainable company, DFB has added a variety of green fabrics to the Sol-R-Control line. The majority of our new fabrics have attributes that are environmentally friendly including zero P.V.C content, recyclable, reclaimable, and GreenGuard Certified. At DFB, we are committed to sustainability.
Managing sunlight can sometimes be difficult, but with the wide variety of Sol-R-Control fabrics available through DFB, choosing the perfect material is no longer a problem! Our fabrics have light-filtering qualities that diffuse light, reduce glare, and help control solar heat gain to make any room a more comfortable environment. Sol-R-Control fabrics provide energy-efficient solutions by reducing the amount of solar heat gain. While lighter color fabrics reflect light and illuminate the interior with just the right amount of light, darker fabrics provide an outstanding view to the outside and absorb light making them ideal for viewing computer and television screens.
Our wide variety of fabrics allow for an exciting palette of styles, patterns, colors, and weaves, which provide you with the tools to create the perfect look for your project. Our fabrics are extremely durable and are perfect for high-traffic areas. From restaurants to corporate centers to residential units, our Sol-R-Control fabrics provide the perfect balance of light, comfort, and beauty. For more information on our variety of Sol-R-Control fabrics, please contact your sales representative.
SHADING COEFFICIENT
Represents the relative percentage of solar heat through a combination of glass and specific shadecloth.
- A shading coefficient equals lower heat gain
- Light colors have lower shading coefficients than dark
Solar Optical Properties
The properties of Sol-R-Control fabrics are used to calculate the combination of any glass and shade fabric.
- Ts - Total Solar Transmittance
- As - Total Solar Absorption
- Rs -Total Solar Reflectance
- Tv - Visible Light Transmittance
- Of - Openness Factor
Openness Factor
- Refers to the fabric's weave density
- Darker fabrics woven more tightly are most often desired
Performance
- Hangs flat without buckling
- Meets the large or Small Scale Vertical Burn Requirements of the National Protection Association
- Certified by an Independent Laboratory
