The high performance of Mermet® serving the new Museum of Toulouse (France)

New: a double skin envelope for floating skeletons
Bay windows enclose the bones of the skeletons that make up the façades of the exhibition halls. The architect designed a ‘shop window' using Japanese walls in Mermet® fabric: fabrics which do not undulate and which express all the beauty of the great curved glassed-in windows.

| An atrium window in E-Screen 7510 in the room ‘Le Grand Carré'
Made up of a 16-metre high atrium window, the ceiling of the Grand Carré is also supplemented by Mermet® fabrics, stretched on frames. This time, the E-Screen 7510 0202 White was selected for the enhancement of natural light. This great hall, with open access, needed to have excellent lighting while preventing glare.
