Mermet fabrics with KOOLBLACK™ Technology know how to resist heat
Mermet’s unique, patented KOOLBLACK™ Technology increases the energy efficiency of dark sunscreen fabrics to levels comparable with light colours. KOOLBLACK™ delivers reduced cooling costs and improved comfort, with the glare control and view-through of a conventional dark screen fabric.
With Mermet’s KOOLBLACK™ Technology you get all the benefits of dark coloured sunscreen fabric – such as superior view-through and exceptional glare control – but with a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) similar to a light coloured sunscreen fabric. In fact, KOOLBLACK™ shows up to 23% improvement in SHGC compared to standard dark screen fabrics.

G-Value or SHGC is a factor that shows how effective a glazing system – glass & window covering – is at blocking heat from solar radiation. The lower the SHGC, the higher the protection from heat gain. |
