Product description

Apo by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec has an elegant woven look and an aluminium backing. Slightly transparent, it provides a unique combination of visual comfort, thermal comfort and acoustic comfort. The good acoustic performance with 40% sound absorption is exceptional for a roller blind textile. Colours range from dark and light neutrals to colourful gold, green and blue hues.

Performance
  • 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.

  • Exterior LightFastness 7
  • Visual light transmission {{site.selectedConfiguration.lightTransmission}}%

    Light transmittance indicates the percentage of the visible light penetrating the textile. Densely woven textiles in dark colours usually have a lower light transmittance, whereas loosely woven fabrics in light colours allow more light to pass through. 

  • Absorption 0.40/Class D (Absorption flat)

    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.

  • Airflow 207 Pa s/m

    EN ISO 9053-1

    Airflow resistance influences the sound absorbing qualities of a textile. Typically, the denser the construction of the textile, the higher the value. 

  • Fire tests NFPA 701 • EN 13 773 class 1 • DIN 4102 B1 • JIS L 1091 A-1 D • BS 5867 part 2 type B • EN 13501-1, B-s1, d0 • GB 8624 B1

    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.

  • Glare control rating {{site.selectedConfiguration.glareControlRating}}

    Optical properties according to EN14500: 2008

  • Solar reflection {{site.selectedConfiguration.solarReflection}}%

    Optical properties according to EN14500: 2008

    The percentage of solar radiation reflected by the textile.

  • Solar transmission {{site.selectedConfiguration.solarTransmissionTs}}%

    Optical properties according to EN14500: 2008

    The percentage of solar radiation penetrating through the textile.

  • Solar absorption {{site.selectedConfiguration.solarAbsorption}}%

    Optical properties according to EN14500: 2008

    The percentage of solar radiation absorbed by the textile.

  • Openness factor {{site.selectedConfiguration.opennessFactor}}%

    The percentage of openings in the textile.

  • g-value/ Solar Heat Gain Coefficient {{site.selectedConfiguration.solarHeatGainThroughTotalFenestration}}%

    Results are based on reference glazing D according to EN1450: 2005.

    The percentage of solar energy that penetrates through glazing and textile. A low value means good thermal performance.

  • Total visual light transmission - based on reference glazing G and according to EN14501:2021 {{site.selectedConfiguration.visualLightTransmissionGlazingTv}}%

    Results are based on reference glazing G acc. to EN14501: 2021.

    The percentage of visible light penetrating through the textile. If too much visible light is transmitted into a room, it creates brightness and glare problems. For rooms with PC workstations, the maximum recommended light transmission depends on the direction in which the window faces:


    North facades: 15–20% light transmission
    West and east facades: 2–6% light transmission
    South facades: 0–5% light transmission


    This is specified by the EU directive 90/270 and ISO 9241.

  • U-value - based on reference glazing G and according to EN14501:2021 {{site.selectedConfiguration.uValueWM2K}}

    Results are based on reference glazing G acc. to EN14501: 2021.

    U-value describes the thermal heat loss (or gain) through a fenestration. The U-value reflects the energy flow through glass and fabric when there is a temperature difference between outside and inside, and is the insulating property. The lower the value, the better the textile's thermal heat insulation properties.
