Comfort. Protection. Aesthetics.

You can rearrange these terms in any order, however, we have to admit that this is exactly what we expect from the space in which we live.

Création Baumann’s fabrics Silver II, meet all these criteria and can control the flow of light and heat entering the room.

Basically this possibility is ensured by the aluminum coating on the reverse side of the fabric, while reflective effect depends on the density of this layer.

If focus directly on the protection, it is possible to mention:

- Protection from prying eyes;

- Protection from light;

- Protection from heat caused by the thermal energy of sun;

- Protection against UV rays;

- Protection of areas where computers are used.

Let us examine each of these components in greater detail.

The level of protection from prying eyes can be selected for each window individually, based on customer’s preferences and personal features.

The brighter the light is, the more it blinds. Direct light acts directly on eyes, while beams reflected from the surface, do not have negative effect on vision.

The function of protection from bright light is realized in practice due to the fact that the peculiar screen absorbs one light segment (A) and the other segment (B) is reflected. Thus, the direct transmission of light is realized by segment (C), which penetrates the fabric. The degree of protection determines the optimal light flux, which is required for the room.

Protection from high temperature is reached by fabric reflection, located directly on the window, the heat of solar energy acting on the window space.

Before we examine the details of the protection from UV rays, achieved by еру fabric Silver II, we remind that sunlight consists of visible radiation (light wave from 380 to 700 nanometers) and invisible (light wave from 0 to 380 nanometers). Ultraviolet rays are referred to invisible radiation.

This protection is required in areas with lots of glass shop-windows or for the preservation of furniture, shown in museums.

The need for protection of computer facilities is determined by the Resolution of the European Union, which points to the fact that all the windows in these rooms must be protected so as to avoid glares on working computer screens.

In conclusion, it must be admitted that, to achieve maximum efficiency it is recommended to hang the fabric Silver II with the reflective side to the window.
