Abstract
A fabric formed by an interweaving of monofilaments (2) of synthetic material and which has two opposite metalized faces, in which at least one of said faces has at least one color (5) which determines the level of transparency. Compared to the known fabrics for making transparent panels for the building sector, the fabric according to the invention offers the advantage of allowing control of the level of transparency to light, depending on the color applied to the metalized surface of the fabric.
Claims10
Fabric formed from a sheet material comprising an interweaving of filaments, wherein a surface of both opposite faces of said sheet material is metalized and at least one of said metalized faces has at least one color layer, said color layer having different shades, said color layer comprising a semi-transparent ink exhibiting different reflectance percentages within the visible spectrum depending on said different shades of said color layer, said shades are selected such that transparency to light of the aforementioned fabric is proportional to the total average reflection factor of the measured visible range, said color is configured to be applied on said metalized faces by printing.
Method for controlling and adjusting the effect of transparency to light of a synthetic material fabric bearing a metallization on both opposite faces of said synthetic material fabric, the method comprising printing on at least one of said metalized faces at least one color layer, said color layer having different shades, said color layer comprising a semi-transparent ink exhibiting different reflectance percentages within the visible spectrum depending on said different shades of said color layer, said shades are selected such that a transparency to light of said at least one metalized face is proportional to the total average reflection factor of the measured visible range.
