Summer is coming: think about awnings

The days are getting longer, the temperatures are rising and the sun is getting stronger. Summer is coming with its intense heat! Although we enjoy the sun, its natural light and all its benefits, the higher temperatures we experience each year are becoming an increasing problem: discomfort from the heat, glare and overheating...

The perfect solution for a cool summer: textile shading systems.
Whether for new construction or renovation, public or private buildings, exterior shading is an essential solution to ensure occupant comfort and optimize the energy performance of buildings. They offer:
- outstanding protection against heat by keeping solar energy out
– control of glare while preserving natural light
- an optimal view to the outside
– optimized energy performance by reducing the need for air conditioning.

Mermet offers a wide range of fabrics for outdoor applications:
– Satiné 5500 (Mermet France): 52 colors, 4 widths (up to 320 cm)
– Sergé 600 (Copaco): 49 colors, 7 widths (up to 350 cm)
– Sergé 3% (Helioscreen): 31 colors, 6 widths (up to 320 cm)
These substances offer a excellent thermal comfort and glare protection. They are also ideal for ZIP systems and furthermore wind and weather resistant.

Don't wait for the first warm days: our teams will be happy to help you choose the most suitable fabric for your project.
