The Modulight® Rapid’ Selection guide
The optical and thermal performance of Modulight® solar protection fabrics are tested in accordance with the US ASRHAE or European EN 14501 standards. These values are necessary for set recommendations, but do not help when it comes to spontaneously selecting the right fabric.
This is why Mermet has developed a unique system to help make your choice, enabling the four requirement levels in a building to be qualified :
- Do you want to allow all the light to enter or not?
- Do you want to control on-screen reflections?
- Do you want to protect yourself against heat?
- Do you want to offer good visibility when looking out?
4 indices are determined for each fabric depending on its specific characteristics :
- The weave
- The opening coefficient
- The colour
- The thermal and optical values
Modulight® Rapid' Selection
4 comfort factors for facilitating your choice
 | 4 comfort factors for choosing the right fabric depending on the use or colour desired and ensuring the success of your solar protection. | |
 |  | Level of incoming natural light To get the best from natural light, make your selection from between indices 12 and 30. For a full blackout, choose from within a range of 1 to 5. |
 |  | Controlling glare For adequate glare control, never go below index 22. |
 |  | Protection against heat To be protected from the heat, choose from an indices range of 20 to 40. |
 |  | Quality of outward visibility |
5 stages for optimal selection
The criteria to determine accurately :
1 - The position of your blinds
2 - The family of products (Transparent Sunscreen®, Blockout blinds that dim or black out the room)
3 - Type of application
4 - Dominant colour
5 - Refining the selection with Modulight® Rapid' Selection: Determine the key function desired in order to define the two comfort indices to give priority to.
