Safety Guarantee, Material tough enough to withstand any punishment
An exceptional lifespan
Made from a coated fibreglass yarns base (Sunscreen®) or prepared after weaving (Blockout), Modulight® fabrics offer the best characteristics for withstanding all tests :
- Excellent mechanical resistance (breakage and tearing), and they can be tensioned without any deformation in order to create shapes and volumes.
- Excellent dimensional stability due to their base material - glass.
- No heat deformation.
- No shrinkage; they maintain their original dimensions within the required tolerances (elongation to breakpoint, flatness).
- Colourfastness to light : When exposed to light (including UV light), the colours of Modulight® fabrics remain stable over time.
Sunscreen® fabrics
When they are used as large outdoor blinds, Sunscreen® Satiné 5500 or Natté 4503 fabrics offer various advantages :
- Great wind resistance thanks to their glass fibres, which are protected by their coating.
- No water pooling due to aeration of the fabric, which enables natural run-off.
Coated fibreglass, which is a high-performance material, offers numerous advantages :
- It withstands chemicals and temperature variations.
- It does not rot, deteriorate, or accumulate mould, even in humid locations, due to its composition which, combined with aeration, provides natural ventilation.
Blockout fabrics
Thanks to their anti-bacterial treatment, Blockout fabrics (Paradis 11600, Fiz 12905, Auris 11900) are protected from any deterioration and offer greater durability.

Manufacturing recommendations
When manufacturing a panel, making up the sheet of fabric involves cutting (cold process or ultrasound cutting) and assembling the panels and/or making pocketssleeves by welding themn (using thermal, high-frequency or ultrasonicound processes) or sewing them together. Stiffeners (rods inserted into the detachable sleevessewed-on pockets), which are sometimes necessary for large blinds or tensile structures covering a large area, can be used to reinforce the fabric.
Please feel free to refer to the instructions for making up the products, the details of which are featured on the back of each brochure in Mermet's Modulight® collection.
Cleaning
It is easy to clean the Sunscreen® fabrics in the Modulight® collection :
- Dust can be removed using a vacuum cleaner or blower, without rubbing.
- Clean them using a sponge or a soft brush dipped in soapy water.
- Outdoors, you can use a pressurised water device, provided you maintain a reasonable distance.
- Never use solvents or abrasive substances likely to cause damage to the fabric's coating.
- Rinse using clean water and then dry the panel fully deployed.
For Blockout fabrics :
- Dust can be removed using a vacuum cleaner or blower, without rubbing.
- Never use solvents or abrasive substances likely to cause damage to the fabric's coating.
- You can use vegetable gum to remove surface stains.
Storage conditions
- Store the rolls of fabric horizontally without stacking them, in a location where the temperature and the humidity level are stable.
- Never fold the fabric.
- Do not leave rolled or folded panels of fabric on top of each other in the case of prolonged storage.
