Polyscreen® FabricsThe technical and aesthetical characteristics of the Polyscreen® fabric, designed and manufactured by Celtic Group, ensure bigger energy saving and better solar protection and sunlight management. Its high-tenacity PVC-covered polyester thread gives it greater solidity than fibreglass, preventing it from breaking or fraying and giving it a firmer look – a perfect fabric both for interiors and exteriors. Its mesh structure, the different weights and openness factors, its lead-free composition and its fire-resistant classification make it the leading technical fabric in light management. |
|
‹ More ResistantThe Polyscreen® performs excellently in situations in which the fabric is tautly drawn and is sturdier in the event of twisting, with high resistance to tearing and breakage. The best fabric to withstand extreme conditions on exterior installations. |
‹ More FlexiblePolyscreen® is a stable fabric that does not lose its shape with changes in temperature thanks to its high linear expansion coefficient. It won't fray either. Its exclusive cylindrical thread type allows for excellent rolling and unrolling and gives it an attractive textile finish. |
‹ OdorlessUnlike other fabrics, Polyscreen® does not give off unpleasant odours. |
‹ Envaironmentally-friendlyCareful management throughout the production process and the use of recyclable, lead-free materials guarantee a commitment to protecting the environment. |
‹ Non-abrasive/Allergen FreePolyscreen® does not contain components that can cause irritation or allergic reactions during handling, as fibreglass does. |
‹ 8 Models, More Than 100 ColorsThe original range of 8 groups of fabrics classified by thickness and weight offers more than 100 colours and endless possibilities for personalisation upon request. |
‹ Different Openness FactorsFor optimum light management, Polyscreen® comes in different openness factors: 1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, and 14% to offer tailor-made solar protection, increased or reduced transparency, privacy and the perfect level of thermal comfort. |
‹ More VersatileAn excellent fabric for interior or exterior use with unique characteristics allowing it to be used with different types of blinds: vertical, roller, panel, roman shades, awnings and skylight blinds, in any size and for any type of application. |
