Product Description:
A range of internal sunscreen fabrics, woven from PVC coated fibreglass. Fabrics can effectively reduce heat and glare transmitted into internal spaces while still allowing outward vision. The fabrics can reduce electricity consumption and associated greenhouse gases by reducing the demand for air conditioning.
Hunter Douglas ECOVIEW®, EXTRAVIEW® and LINCSCREEN™ were formally tested and found to have low VOC emissions, according to the Green Star™ VOC limit applied to carpets, the closest relevant metric available for interior products.
LINCSCREEN™ is woven with alternative light and dark sides, with the dark side providing good visibility and glare reduction, while the light side provides a degree of heat control.
ECOVIEW®, EXTRAVIEW® and LINCSCREEN™ are suitable for interior mounted window covering applications, including sunscreen roller blinds, roman blinds, panel glides and verticals. Automated sunscreens can be connected to building management systems for optimal control of glare and thermal efficiency.
