The Rapid Selection guides are designed to enable you to achieve optimum benefit from choosing the right solar protection fabric.

The system is based on four comfort factors:

NL natural light - level of incoming light
EC eye comfort - glare control
HP heat protection - improved thermal control
CV contrast vision - quality of exterior view.

These factors are applied to each fabric in relation to its own features; the openness factor, weave colour and size of mesh and hence its energy and light qualities (transmission, reflection, absorption).

Simply, the rapid selection guide rates each fabric and colour from 1 to 40 giving you optimum performance. For example, Eye Comfort (glare control), a rating of 1 would mean little or no glare control, whereas a rating of 35 to 40 would mean excellent glare control.

There are three steps to using the Rapid Selection Guide:

1. Decide from the four factors (NL, EC, HP and CV) which two are the most important to your application.

2. From a colour swatch, choose the fabric colour that best suits the decor.

3. Check the rapid Selection guide to see if the fabric and colour meet your comfort requirements.
