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.

Standard Dark Screen Fabrics
	high contrast for clear & sharp view-through coordinated exterior building design exceptional glare control
E-Screen with KOOLBLACK™ Technology
	same great features as standard dark screen fabrics up to 23% improvement in solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) versus standard dark screen fabrics reflects near infrared (NIR) solar energy improved heat control increased energy savings

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.
