Create thermal comfort with metallised textiles

Maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature can be a challenge. Sunlight entering through windows can cause overheating, while in colder months, heat can escape through windows, even with modern glazing.

Kvadrat Shade roller blinds are designed to address these issues by helping to regulate indoor temperatures for year-round comfort. Our metallised textiles reflect solar engery in summer and create an insulating layer in winter, providing effective thermal control.

Reduce the need for heating and cooling

At Kvadrat Shade we strive to set the standard in our industry. Our high performance polyester based fabrics combine outstanding functionality, durability and style to meet the needs of modern architecture.

Our metallised textiles are designed to reduce energy consumption throughout the year. In summer they reflect heat to keep interiors cooler, while in winter they help to retain heat by minimising heat loss through windows. This ensures a comfortable indoor environment in all seasons and reduces reliance on heating and cooling systems.

By improving energy efficiency, our metallised textiles play a key role in reducing carbon emissions and supporting a more sustainable future. Choosing Kvadrat Shade means investing in innovative solutions that prioritise performance, comfort and environmental responsibility.

 

Enhance your energy savings

Kvadrat Shade metallised textiles offer significantly increased energy saving potential compared to standard fabrics, helping to improve building performance. To support your project needs, our Expert Centre can offer bespoke reports that highlight energy savings and carbon reduction potential. These reports can also be used as documentation for building certifications such as BREEAM and LEED, making it easier to achieve your sustainability goals.

Solar and heat protection in summer

Our metallised textiles are the solution for spaces with a lot of windows, where it can get uncomfortably hot in summer. Sunlight enters through the windows and the indoor temperature quickly rises. The reflective layer on our metallised textiles blocks solar radiation and prevents heat build-up, keeping the interior pleasantly cool – even in summer.

Insulating in winter

When it is cold outside, a lot of heat is lost through windows, even in modern buildings with double or triple-glazing. Our metallised textiles act as an extra layer of insulation and emit little heat. The aluminium layer that reflects sunlight in summer, keeps the warmth in during winter.

Enjoy thermal comfort while saving on energy consumption

Metallised textiles reduce the need for heating in winter and cooling in summer, and therefore diminish energy consumption up to 25% (Source: Based on dynamic simulations by using Parasol – Lund University). The less energy used, the lower the carbon emissions; contributing to a sustainable future.

Our metallised textiles are independently verified as an equivalent alternative to outdoor solar shading: in the summer the metallised textiles reflect sunlight, keeping indoor temperatures from rising rapidly. In the winter, the aluminium layer acts as an insulator to reduce heat loss and keep heat inside.
