Fiberglass sunscreen fabric with 5% openness is a high-performance architectural textile designed for solar control, UV protection, and aesthetic appeal in modern building facades, pergolas, and shading systems. Its unique 5% open-weave structure strikes an optimal balance between light filtration, privacy, and durability, making it a preferred choice for commercial and residential applications.

1. Material Composition & Structure

• Base Material: Woven from fiberglass yarns coated with PVC or PTFE, ensuring exceptional strength (tensile strength up to 4,500 N/5cm) and resistance to weathering, corrosion, and extreme temperatures (-30°C to +70°C).
• Openness Ratio: The 5% open area allows minimal light penetration while blocking 95% of UV rays, reducing glare and heat buildup. The tight weave also offers enhanced privacy compared to higher-openness fabrics (e.g., 10% or 15%).
• Surface Finish: Available in matte or glossy coatings, with customizable colors to blend with architectural designs.

2. Key Features & Benefits

• Solar Control: Reduces solar heat gain by up to 60%, lowering indoor cooling costs.
• UV Protection: Blocks 99% of harmful UV radiation, protecting interior furnishings from fading.
• Durability: Non-combustible (Class A fire rating), mold-resistant, and maintains integrity under wind loads up to 150 km/h.
• Light Diffusion: Softens natural light without darkening interiors, creating glare-free environments.
• Low Maintenance: Resists dirt accumulation and can be cleaned with water/mild detergents.

3. Applications

• Exterior Shading: Used in brise-soleil systems, canopies, and balcony screens.
• Facade Cladding: Enhances building aesthetics while improving energy efficiency.
• Retractable Systems: Compatible with motorized shades for adjustable shading.

4. Technical Specifications

5. Environmental Impact

• Recyclable: Fiberglass core and PVC/PTFE coatings can be repurposed.
• Energy Savings: Contributes to LEED certification by reducing HVAC loads.

Conclusion

The 5% openness fiberglass sunscreen fabric combines functionality and elegance, offering architects a sustainable solution for modern shading needs. Its precision-engineered weave ensures long-term performance in harsh climates, making it ideal for projects prioritizing energy efficiency, visual comfort, and design flexibility.
