Supa-Shade Ltd

We are a family run company based in Torquay DEVON and our typical projects are Schools, Colleges and Hospitals where Total black-out is required or elimination of natural light to stop reflection on computer screens.

We only sell our products to installers that work to the highest standards and that are insured to the necessary level.

PERFORMANCE
Fenestration data is the architectural description of the factors influencing the admittance of energy through a glazed window system and its effects on the building interior. It is governed by three main parts:

[T]% SOLAR TRANSMITTANCE
The amount of energy transmitted directly into the room through the glass and blind material.

[A]% SOLAR ABSORBTION
The amount of energy absorbed by the glass and blind material.

[R]% SOLAR REFLECTANCE
The amount of energy reflected outward by the glass and blind material.

To define the solar control properties of a blind material, the 'SHADING COEFFICIENT' [SC] is used. The solar heat gain with the blind material at the window divided by the solar heat gain without the blind material at the window gives the SC. The lower the SC figure, the more efficient the blind system is in reducing the heat and glare inside the building.
