Originals. Infinite possibilities in transparencies and colours

816 Originals is a transparent metal backed fabric woven from 100% PES Trevira CS and is inherently flame retardant. Offering excellent vision out and high performance, independent of colour selected. Providing superior heat and glare control with a high level of insulation for comfort all year round. Suitable in high sun areas.

Verosol Originals are available in four transparencies, from very transparent to block-out (darkening). The Originals collection is very suitable for pleated binds but also for roller blinds and panel glide systems. All the transparencies in the collection can be combined in a twin-pleated or twin-roller blind to provide ultimate blinds at any time of the day or night. The Original Collection also contributes to a comfortable living and working environment and prevents reflections (glare) on your computer screen or TV. Originals are flame retardant, formaldehyde and PVC free. Using the Originals makes a positive contribution towards sustainable building models such as LEED (USA) certification, Green Star (Australia) and Breeam (United Kingdom).

GLOSSARY OF TERMINOLOGY

SOLAR REFLECTION

The ratio or percentage of solar energy reflected by the shading. With Verosol fabric reflection on the aluminium side. Abbreviations: Rs, Rsol. The higher the number the better.

OPENNESS FACTOR

The percentage of open area (pores) to the total area of the shading fabric. These pores are necessary to enable view through. Abbreviation: OF. The higher the number the better viewthrough.

U-VALUE

Thermal heat loss (or gain) through a fenestration. The U-value reflects the energy flow through glass and shading when there is a temperature difference between outside and inside, and is the insulating property. Units are Btu/hr-ft²-°F or W/m².K The lower this U-value, the better the thermal heat insulation. The lower the number the better.

IR EMISSIVITY

The ability of a material surface to radiate (infrared) heat out. Metals in general and specifically aluminium have low IR emitting properties. IR emissivity of; glass is about 0.800, plastics is about 0.900 but a clean aluminium surface has an IR em of 0.15. Therefore metallised fabric has so called Low-E properties. The lower the number the better.

SOLAR FACTOR G-VALUE

Ratio between the total solar energy transmitted into a room through a window and the solar energy on the window. g-value is the solar factor of the combination of glazing and solar protection device. (EN14501). The lower the number the better.
