Screen fabric applications

Pergola

A pergola is a freestanding or attached structure that can be equipped with fabric roofing and/or sidewalls.

Recommended fabrics:

• Sidewalls: The SWK ZIP, SWK6, and SWK15 screen fabrics are ideal for side closures, creating more intimate spaces that are sheltered from wind and light, while maintaining ventilation and visibility to the outside. A significant advantage of the SWK ZIP is its innovative weave that allows it to fit perfectly with the vertical blinds of pergolas, ensuring flawless flatness even for large dimensions.
• Roof: The SWK TOP, translucent and waterproof, ensures good light transmission through the roof while providing perfect waterproofing.

Velum

The velum awning, also known as a slide wire awning, is a system designed to provide shade for both conservatories and outdoor pergolas. It consists of a system of taut cables, onto which the awning fabric is threaded.

Recommended fabrics: the screen fabrics SWK6, SWK15, SWK ZIP and SWK TOP protect you from UV rays while letting through just the right amount of natural light. SWK TOP comes with a bonus: it is waterproof! All of these fabrics are tear-resistant and easy to maintain.

Conservatory blind

The conservatory blind is designed to reduce solar gain in fully glazed structures like the conservatory. Installed above the roof or vertically along the walls, it prevents the glazing from overheating and helps lower the indoor temperature. Positioned externally, the blind also adds a decorative touch and enhances your comfort: it limits heat and glare, dampens the sound of rain, and increases privacy.

Recommended fabrics: the SWK ZIP, SWK6 and SWK15 screen fabrics protect you from UV rays while letting through just the right amount of natural light. As they are tear-resistant and easy to maintain, these are the ideal fabrics for this kind of installation.

Shade sail

Inspired by the marine environment, the shade sail is a solar protection system made of a fabric secured at the corners and tensioned between walls or posts. Due to its lightness and ease of use, it provides a stylish alternative to traditional shading solutions.

Recommended fabrics: The SWK ZIP, SWK6, and SWK15 are particularly suitable for this application thanks to their breathable and highly durable mesh. These micro-perforated screens protect against heat and UV rays and are very easy to maintain. Designed in UV-resistant colours, they will suit all your outdoor spaces and accompany you year after year.

Vertical roller blinds

Textile blinds are unfurled vertically down the full-length windows and are equipped with a cassette to protect the roller mechanism, as well as lateral guide rails or cables to keep them working day after day. Thanks to the different fixing options available, they can adapt to all sorts of environments.

Recommended fabrics: The SWK ZIP, SWK6, and SWK15 screen fabrics protect against UV rays while allowing the right level of light to pass through, all while preserving the view to the outside. A major advantage of the SWK ZIP is its innovative weave, which allows it to perfectly adapt to vertical blinds, ensuring flawless flatness. All fabrics offer excellent tear resistance and are easy to maintain.

Zip screen blind

The zip screen blind is a solar protection system featuring a fabric equipped with a zipper, allowing secure vertical guidance from top to bottom—even in windy conditions. Firmly integrated with the frame to which it is attached, it acts as a sealed membrane against heat, light, and UV rays.

Recommended fabrics: The SWK ZIP screen, with 4% openness, is specifically designed to fit ZIP systems regardless of size. Its innovative construction provides exceptional tear resistance. When used dynamically and in automated systems, it significantly enhances user comfort, both in terms of thermal regulation and visual performance.

Acoustic solutions

Acoustic solutions are systems that aim to reduce ambient noise in order to improve listening conditions, concentration, well-being and productivity.

Recommended fabrics: the SWK6 screen fabrics are designed for even the most challenging interior design projects (offices/hotels). Their range of applications is varied (horizontal and vertical panels, stretch walls and ceilings, baffle ceilings, and canopies) and you can print on them, which means that they will enhance your establishment's décor with a touch of modern, smart style. These tear-proof fabrics with a fire rating are perfect for high-traffic and customer service areas.
