Internal roller blind fabrics: A key component in reducing carbon emissions and improving building performance

Though internal roller blind fabrics are a small design element, they play a key role in reducing a building’s carbon footprint. Buildings contribute 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions, with 28% from operational use and 11% from materials and construction. Every design decision helps in reducing these emissions.

Internal Roller Blind Fabrics: A Key Component in Reducing Carbon Emissions and Improving Building Performance discusses how thoughtful blind fabric selection can reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of a building. By incorporating sustainable materials, blinds reduce the reliance on energy-intensive processes, both during their manufacturing and throughout their lifecycle. Additionally, choosing eco-friendly fabrics can align with broader architectural goals, supporting the visual appeal and functionality of spaces while simultaneously decreasing energy consumption.

Sea-Tex fabrics types: non-metalised, ES metallised, and white backed performance. Each of those fabrics has different fenestration properties and are intended for use on different applications based on project requirements and types of window glazing.

Sea-Tex is a high-performance roller shade fabric composed of 50% recovered ocean bound plastic pollution, with an average-sized commercial project utilising approximately 480 kg of this material. This innovative, sustainable fabric is suitable for manual, motorised, and automated solar-control roller shade systems, providing comprehensive technical support for both commercial and residential applications through Horiso.
