* Calculation with double clear glazing according to EN 410 and ISO 15099 without ventilation.
The visual glare and heat gain properties of common screen depend on the color of the screen. With SilverScreen, thanks to the aluminum layer on the reverse side, these properties are practically independent of the color of the screen. Furthermore, SilverScreen provides a good visual contact to the outside world.
g-Value is the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient and is based on the combination glass and shading. It reflects the portion solar energy which actually enters the interior. g-Value is important for cooling loads in Summer.
U-value reflects the warmth insulation of glass and shading. U-value is in W/m2K and is important for heating in Winter.

Understanding Solar Terminology
Openness Factor is the amount of sunlight that passes through the material.
RS(Solar Reflectance) is the total amount of heat that is reflected back out of the window glass. Reflected heat is pushed out and consequently will not heat up the room. All necessary hardware and installation instructions are included with shades. Valence and fascia systems are available upon request to hide the roller.
UV Transmission is the amount of ultraviolet light passing through material
All necessary hardware and installation instructions are included with shades.
