to achieve savings of up to 35% on the operating costs
of air conditioning and climate control systems.

PRIVACY

When installed as a divider or on the front of balconies and terraces, it increases privacy by enhancing the feeling of seclusion and an intimate environment, keeping prying eyes away.

ENERGY SAVINGS

When used as a screen for windows, it substantially helps reduce cooling costs from air conditioning usage, making the spaces more comfortable and livable.
