Shading Coefficient

Exterior Suncontrolers Have Best Shading Coefficient

Shading Coefficient

Sun Shading System Blade Color Shading Coefficient
Exterior Venetian blinds 45 open (no direct admission of sun rays) Light
Dark
0.15/0.25
These values can be improved by tighter closing of blinds

 

Research work confirms the practical experience:

Retractable sun shading placed in front of the window such as exterior Venetian Blinds and operable sun control devices achieve the most effective results.
