A new fabric for interior blinds, which combines light and heat control properties and retains good indoor to outdoor visibility, has been unveiled by Hunter Douglas.

Sunscreen Panama Chrome uses fibreglass and PVC to provide high levels of durability and also achieves a solar reflectance value of more than 75% - the highest degree for indoor solar control fabrics.

Available in five colours – white, white linen, white pearl, black pearl and black – the range has BREEAM-NL/EN145032-based Glare Control 3, which is the highest class for indoor blinds with indoor-to-outdoor visibility, achieved thanks to its special metal coating, which ensures an essential diffuse light transmission value of less than 2%.

Thanks to the 3% openness factor, users can also see outside. The Sunscreen Panama Chrome range is also highly durable – up to twice as long as exterior blinds – which means less maintenance and lower operating costs.
