Technicolour Sky is a transparent curtain textile with a soft, melange surface, crafted from 100% recycled polyester. Its open plain-weave construction creates a crisp, airy expression and sculptural drape. It is part of the celebrated Technicolour collection by Peter Saville.
The textile is composed of 85% recycled polyester and 15% post-industrial textile waste from Kvadrat’s own production. The textile waste is incorporated into the weft yarn, which is produced locally in the Netherlands. The material is collected, sorted and pressed into bales before being mechanically recycled into fibres. These are then combined with post-consumer recycled polyester fibres derived from PET bottles, which provide the stability needed for the blend to be spun into a durable and resilient yarn.

LightFastness {{site.selectedConfiguration.lightFastness}}
ISO 105-B02
Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period.
The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.

Absorption 0.05/Unclassified (100 mm Folded) 0.10/Unclassfied (150 mm Folded)
EN ISO 354
Acoustic absorption is indicated as αw-value which approximately corresponds to the percentage of sound absorbed. For instance, an αw-value of 0,4 translates into 40% absorption of sound. Acoustic absorption of a textile is measured in its flat and draped state.

Flame retardant performance depends on the type of foam used. There are differing requirements concerning the flame-retardancy of textiles dependent on the area of application, country or even region. Our textiles pass the majority of international standards and are also tested for a selection of regional requirements.

Regular cleaning is important in order to keep the curtain textile looking its best and to prolong its life. Dust and dirt wear down the textile and also reduce its fire-retardant properties.

Regular care
If possible, we recommend washing curtains once a year. If used heavily, a more frequent cleaning may be appropriate. All curtain fabrics by Kvadrat and Sahco are supplied with a care label. We recommend the use of detergent without optical bleach for all items in which, according to care instructions, washing is possible. Please take into account a possible shrinkage between 1–4 %. It is always possible to wash at a lower temperature that the one specified for light soiling. Please contact a professional dry cleaner if dry cleaning is the only option for maintenance. A professional dry cleaner may also assist in working out maintenance schedules which ensure that the fabrics are maintained properly so that a good indoor climate and maximum duration of the curtains are achieved.
