Product description

Retta Blockout is a woven, yarn dyed roller blind textile by Louise Sigvardt that combines refined tactility with a high level of light exclusion. Its colour-matched backing offers effective light blocking, while the subtle depth created by up to three differently coloured yarns brings a sophisticated and understated expression to interiors.

Available in five versatile colours, Retta Blockout introduces a timeless palette that integrates seamlessly into a wide range of design schemes. Flame retardant and free of intentionally added PFAS, it is a reliable choice for spaces where privacy, comfort and restful darkness are essential.

As part of the Retta family, together with the screen textile Retta and the metallised version Silvretta, it allows architects and designers to work within one coherent aesthetic. Together, the three textiles in the Retta family offer a full spectrum of performance, from view through and filtered daylight, to enhanced thermal and visual comfort, to high levels of privacy and light exclusion.

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 7-8
  • 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. 

  • Fire tests BS 5867 part 2 type B • EN 13501 B-s2, d0 • IMO FTP Code 2010 Part 7 • DIN 4102 B1 • NFPA 701

    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. 

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

    Optical properties according to EN14500: 2021

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

    Optical properties according to EN14500: 2021

    The percentage of solar radiation reflected by the textile.

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

    Optical properties according to EN14500: 2021

    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 G according to EN14501: 2021.

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

  • 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. 

  • Fire resistant

Discover our coherent roller blind textile family

The Retta family brings together three closely related roller blind textiles: Retta, Silvretta and Retta Blockout. Designed to work in dialogue, they enable architects and designers to maintain a consistent aesthetic while adjusting performance to different requirements – from soft daylight filtration and visual comfort to improved thermal performance and high levels of light exclusion.

All three textiles are developed from the same base material and share a common expression. Each offers its own functional characteristics, making it easier to apply a unified shading solution across different spaces within the same project, without compromising on performance.

Complete your roller blind solution

Pair this textile with a roller blind system that meets the requirements of your project. Whether you are looking for seamless integration, exposed expression or flexible installation options, our range of roller blind systems offers the ideal solution for any space.

All our shading solutions ensure smooth operation, a precise fit, and longevity. Explore the options to specify a fully integrated, high-performance shading solution.
