Implementation recommendation

An exceptional lifespan

Made from a coated fibreglass yarns base (Sunscreen®) or prepared after weaving (Blockout), Modulight® fabrics offer the best characteristics for withstanding any punishment :

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)

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.

Year after year, the printed fabrics in the Modulight® collection lose none of their characteristics when they are exposed to UV rays.
Their performance characteristics are measured using a colourfastness test in relation to light.

Fire classifications

The fabrics in the Modulight® collection are non-flammable and fully comply with the most demanding fire safety standards in the world :

Classification in France
Classification in Germany
Classification in Great Britain
Class in China
Class in the USA
Class in Australia

Class Uno in Italy

After having been printed on (digital printing, screen printing) the fabrics in the Modulight® collection retain all their fire-retardant properties (M1, FR, etc.). Likewise, the solvents used during printing evaporate, leaving only the pigments required on the fabric.

Sprinkler fire safety

Airscreen® 2750 fabric from the Modulight® collection complies with tests involving ceiling textiles spread beneath sprinklers in accordance with DDSC directives (configuration of exhibition halls) and the APSAD – CNPP specification (configuration of sales areas).

Quality control

The fabrics in the Modulight® collection are checked in accordance with ISO 9001 quality management requirements.

IMO

Used as a ship's fitting, Sunscreen® Satiné 5500 fabric from the Modulight® collection complies with the requirements of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and benefits from the CE 0062 mark (Bureau Veritas).

Health, Hygiene and the Environment

Modulight® fabrics fully comply with current legislation. Likewise, the compounds used when they are treated do not emit any hazardous substance exceeding the maximum levels specified in the European standards and other health and safety regulations.

Thus Sunscreen® and Blockout fabrics (excluding Karellis) do not feature any chemical substances hazardous to the health and safety of users. They are also guaranteed lead-free, with these properties being certified by the Oekotex standard 100 quality label.

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 with the fabric 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.

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 superimpose rolled-up or folded pieces of fabric in the case of prolonged storage.
