Abstract
Curtain fabrics for use as greenhouse curtains or shading fabrics comprise strips of metal foil incorporated in a yarn network having longitudinal and transverse connection threads. Transverse threads on the other side of the fabric extend between adjacent strips for connection to the longitudinal threads. In the case of greenhouse curtain the strips are situated between each adjacent pair of longitudinal connection threads while in the case of a shading fabric the strips are more widely spaced so as to provide ventillation spaces therebetween.
Claims16
A curtain fabric comprising spaced strips of a flexible sheet material running in one direction, a longitudinal direction, of the fabric and which are interconnected by means of textile threads in a yarn framework, the strips being selected from a group consisting of heat radiation reflecting and heat radiation absorbing materials, wherein the yarn framework includes transverse connection threads, and longitudinal connection threads, the transverse connection threads being located on opposite sides of a plane containing the strips so as to extend respectively across opposite surfaces of the strips, and the transverse threads on one side of said plane extending through the spaces between adjacent strips for connection to the longitudinal threads.
