SCREEN NATURE

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Mermet has been a leader in sunscreen fabric production since 1951, focusing on creating comfortable environments by filtering sunlight, improving acoustics, reducing glare, and enhancing privacy. Their commitment is towards user comfort and product longevity.

Specifications
The fabrics are mineral-based, free from PVC, halogens, and polyester, ensuring they are fire retardant, lead-free, and PVC-free. They are manufactured in the EU, comply with REACH standards, and come with a 5-year warranty. Additionally, the fabrics are antibacterial and printable.

Design and Performance
The fabrics provide excellent outward visibility and transparency, are designed for confined spaces, and are resistant to humidity, making them suitable for moisture-rich environments like indoor pools. They are non-combustible with zero smoke emissions.

Technical Data
The fabric composition is 90% fiberglass and 10% coating, with a plain weave pattern. Available widths range from 180-240 cm, with a roll length of 50 lm. The surface mass is 170 g/m², and thickness is 0.23 mm. The color fastness to artificial light is rated at ≥ 7.

Mechanical Properties
The breaking strength is > 100 daN/5 cm for warp and > 110 daN/5 cm for weft, with elongation at break < 5% for both. Tear strength is ≥ 3 daN for both warp and weft.

Fire Certificates
The fabric meets various fire safety standards across the EU, UK, France, Italy, and the US, including Euroclass A2-s1,d0 and Class 0 BS 476.

Processing and Maintenance
Fabrics can be cut using cold knife, crush cut, or ultrasonic methods. Welding is thermal with weldable tapes, and cleaning requires a damp, soft cloth.

Thermal and Visual Properties
According to EN 14501:2021, the fabrics provide thermal and visual comfort, with solar factor calculations based on EN ISO 52022-3:2017. They are tested for solar and light transmittance, absorption, and reflection.

Acoustic Properties
Acoustic performance is measured using ISO 354:2003 and ISO 10534-2:2023 standards, indicating sound absorption potential.

Conclusion
Mermet's sunscreen fabrics are designed for optimal comfort, safety, and performance, with a focus on sustainability and user needs.

Handling Recommendations
To prevent marks on large fabric widths, Mermet advises rolling panels on a tube during assembly. Fabrics with a white acrylic coating should be handled on a clean, dry, dust-free surface. For metallised fabrics, wear cotton gloves to avoid fingerprints.

5-Year Warranty
Most Mermet solar shading fabrics come with a five-year warranty, valid under normal use and maintenance conditions as per technical specifications and Mermet's recommendations.

Care Instructions
Handle fabrics with clean, dry hands, and gloves are recommended. Avoid scrubbing, solvents, or abrasive substances. When cleaning windows, ensure blinds are raised to prevent chemical exposure.

Storage Conditions
Fabrics should be stored in original packaging and individual cardboard tubes, horizontally, in stable temperature and humidity conditions. Avoid high temperatures (>45°C) to prevent color fading. Use transportation aids and do not lift rolls by the ends to avoid creasing.
