Offices of UNOFI

Thanks to the combination of different technical systems for insulation, heating and energy savings, the office building offers its occupants maximum comfort combined with environmental protection. It is an approach that Pitch Promotion, a UNOFI partner of long standing, wished to consolidate by controlling light and glare as well.

With the Satiné 5500 Low E, the only glass-fibre-based fabric offering very low emissions thanks to double-sided metallisation, Mermet once again confirms its expertise in light management, heat control and design, on this occasion equipping the offices of UNOFI, the French union of financial notaries, located in Brive-la-
Gaillarde.

The technology of the Satiné 5500 Low E

This metallic transparent fabric envelopes the building and helps to reduce the energy consumption associated with air conditioning, lighting and heating. The project includes some 200 fabrics totalling 600m² installed in the form of manual blinds, fitted to all the tall, narrow windows that define the facades of this 4-storey building.

THE best solution for interior solar protection

Thanks to the metallisation on both sides, this fabric acts as a real thermal shield, offering extraordinary properties for an interior blind:

• Unrivalled thermal protection: the fabric on its own reflects 78% of solar energy
• Unequalled emissivity level of 15%
• Comprehensive glare control with 96% of sunlight filtered out
• Excellent exterior visibility
• Optimised influx of natural light

Thanks to the Satiné 5500 Low E fabric by Mermet, interior solar protection becomes a matter of genuine high performance, enabling both renovation and construction projects to enjoy an energy revolution!
