White Reflect, a curtain designed by Louise Sigvardt, offers exceptional solar reflectance and glare control. It delivers this performance by uniting an un-dyed white front layer, woven from Trevira CS, with an aluminium backing. The curtain features a Panama binding which softens the drape of the high-performance metallised layer and creates a shimmering translucency. White Reflect comes exclusively in white, as no other colour can match the same level of performance.
Louise Sigvardt: “The aluminium layer added to the un-dyed white yarn softens the brightness, resulting in a broken white or cold sand.”

LightFastness
ISO 105-B02
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.

Visual light transmission %
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.
-
Absorption (100 mm) 0.20/Class E (Absorption flat) 0.35/Class D (Absorption folded)
EN ISO 354
Acoustic absorption is indicated as αw-value which approximately corresponds to the percentage of sound absorbed. For instance, an αw-value of 0,4 translates into 40% absorption of sound. Acoustic absorption of a textile is measured in its flat and draped state.

Airflow 43 Pa s/m
EN ISO 9053-1
Airflow resistance influences the sound absorbing qualities of a textile. Typically, the denser the construction of the textile, the higher the value.

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.

Regular cleaning is important in order to keep the curtain textile looking its best and to prolong its life. Dust and dirt wear down the textile and also reduce its fire-retardant properties.

Metallised curtains
We recommend cleaning curtains once a year if needed. If used heavily, a more frequent cleaning may be appropriate. All curtain fabrics from Kvadrat are supplied with a care label. We only recommend mild cleaning for metallised curtains as the alubacking might be damaged by washing and severe handling. Please always handle metallised curtains with care eventually bearing white gloves during handling to protect the alu backing. Please take into account a possible skrinkage between 1-2%. A professional dry cleaner may also assist in working out maintenance schedules which ensure that the fabrics are maintained properly so that a good indoor climate and maximum duration of the curtains are achieved.

Regular care
If possible, we recommend washing curtains once a year. If used heavily, a more frequent cleaning may be appropriate. All curtain fabrics by Kvadrat and Sahco are supplied with a care label. We recommend the use of detergent without optical bleach for all items in which, according to care instructions, washing is possible. Please take into account a possible shrinkage between 1–4 %. It is always possible to wash at a lower temperature that the one specified for light soiling. Please contact a professional dry cleaner if dry cleaning is the only option for maintenance. A professional dry cleaner may also assist in working out maintenance schedules which ensure that the fabrics are maintained properly so that a good indoor climate and maximum duration of the curtains are achieved.
