Understanding the kupu ā-kaupapa (technical words) on Roller blind fabrics

With Summer coming up we start thinking about how to best protect our homes from the Northland sun and heat. 

Weathermaster® roller blinds are an excellent choice and will often complement what you may already have in place.  However, with such an extensive range of fabrics and coatings it can get a bit overwhelming when you are trying to choose the right fabric.

You can of course just choose based on colour or texture or you can select the most desirable benefits to you, your home, or your business. Let’s look at your technical options.

Weathermaster Light filtering roller blinds

Sanitized®

Weathermaster Light Filtering Rollershades in Atmosphere with Sanitized® antimicrobial protection

Sanitized® antimicrobial protection is a fabric coating that is free of harmful substances and is recommended by institutions for allergy sufferers. Better yet, embedded in the fabrics, the coating won’t wash or wear off.

Protecting against the development of bacteria, mildew, algae, and dust mites, it effectively eliminates common asthma triggers and associated odours, ensuring freshness and well-being in the home.

Duraguard®

Weathermaster Blockout Rollershades with Duraguard® stain repellent

Duraguard Fabric Protector effectively repels most stain-causing agents with its proven, water-based, preventative formula.

This fabric protection is totally invisible and has high levels of stain repellence, resisting water stains from rain, moisture and condensation and oily stains from spills and fingerprints.

Duraguard makes cleaning and maintaining the fabric much easier and keeps your blinds clean and looking new for longer.

 

Fire retardant

Weathermaster Fire retardent Blockout roller blinds

Compulsory in any commercial environment, fire retardant fabrics shouldn’t be overlooked in our home scenarios either.

Protecting against the ‘what-if’, all Weathermaster fabrics have been designed specifically to inhibit the spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire.

Independently tested in accordance with the Australian standard, Weathermaster fire retardant fabrics provide you with a solution that is safe for you and your family.

 

 

Greenguard® & Oekotex Certified

OEKO-TEX® 100 Certified and GREENGUARD® Australia Certified fabric options allow you to rest easy knowing you’ve bought an environmentally safe product that is certified to have low chemical emissions and are free from harmful substances.
