Russell by Louise Sigvardt has an elegant, fine woven look. Constructed with a special white backing, it can deliver total darkness even if the daylight outside is powerful. Reflecting this, it meets the highest classification, the 100,000-lux test, and is ideal for rooms where blockout performance is desired. Simple collection including elegant, warm and cold neutrals.

Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period.
The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.
Light transmittance indicates the percentage of the visible light penetrating the textile. Densely woven textiles in dark colours usually have a lower light transmittance, whereas loosely woven fabrics in light colours allow more light to pass through.
Flame retardant performance depends on the type of foam used. There are differing requirements concerning the flame-retardancy of textiles dependent on the area of application, country or even region. Our textiles pass the majority of international standards and are also tested for a selection of regional requirements.
Optical properties according to EN14500: 2008
Optical properties according to EN14500: 2008
The percentage of solar radiation reflected by the textile.
Optical properties according to EN14500: 2008
The percentage of solar radiation absorbed by the textile.
The percentage of openings in the textile.
Results are based on reference glazing D according to EN1450: 2005.
The percentage of solar energy that penetrates through glazing and textile. A low value means good thermal performance.
Results are based on reference glazing G acc. to EN14501: 2021.
U-value describes the thermal heat loss (or gain) through a fenestration. The U-value reflects the energy flow through glass and fabric when there is a temperature difference between outside and inside, and is the insulating property. The lower the value, the better the textile's thermal heat insulation properties.
