Recently one of Champion Blinds most popular screen roller blinds was featured on the ecospecifier website. The ecospecifier aims to help building professionals, designers and home owners make informed choices about sustainable products that reduce their environmental impact. Ecospecifier is an online database of eco and healthy preferable products, materials and technology. Here’s what they had to say about the Enviroshade roller blinds:
“… Enviroshade is a woven polyester roller blind fabric with an optional metallised backing. Product is manufactured from Trevira CS yarn, a flame retardant fabric. Product is suitable for use on indoor roller blinds, skylight blinds and decorative panels.
Fabrics can effectively reduce heat and glare transmitted into internal spaces while still allowing outward vision. Many of the options within this range have a visual light transmittance (VLT) of less than 10% and are therefore effective at reducing glare.
The fabrics can achieve reduction in the demand for air conditioning, reducing electricity consumption and associated greenhouse gases, particularly when used in conjunction with a closely sealed blind system. Actual performance will depend on the hardware configuration used.
Enviroshade is available with a metallised backing which is able to reflect solar energy and reduce heat gain. The backing is made from aluminium, a high embodied material. However, aluminium backing makes up less than 2% of the product. Non-metallised fabric is designed to resist moisture and is suitable for use in humid areas.
Use of this product may contribute to the achievement of Green StarTM credit points.”
