WHICH SCREEN FABRICS CONTROL GLARE?
In the adjacent table is a resume of fabrics taken from the HUNTER DOUGLAS Roller Blind Project Collection which meet Glare Class 3. Fabrics with this classification often have a dark colour. This is a direct consequence of the limitation to the diffuse transmission. Fabrics with a metal backing can have a lighter colour because the thin metal layer is not transparent and therefore reduces the diffuse transmission. Metallized fabrics have the PLATINUM extension in the name. Fabrics with Glare Class 4 are generally used to darken the room (black-out).
HOW TO DETERMINE THE GLARE CLASS?
The standard EN 14501:2005 relates the classification for glare control to the direct and diffuse visual light transmission coefficients of the blind (Tvdir and Tvdiff).

Tvdir = Direct visual light transmission
Tvdir is directly related to the open surface of the light controlling device. For roller blind screen fabrics it is also referred to as openness factor (OF).
Tvdiff = Diffuse visual light transmission
In the case of a screen fabric, Tvdiff is the degree of light shining through the actual fibres of the yarn.
Tvdiff + Tvdir = Tvtot = Tv = Total visual light transmission
A fabric with Tvdir = 0 is fully closed and does not allow to see through it. Because visual contact with the outside is generally considered as an important factor contributing to further visual comfort, the demand which best meets controls glare and also allows contact with the outside is as follows:
0 < Tvdir ≤ 5% en Tvdiff < 2%.

Glare Control with Roller Blinds What is glare?
WHAT IS EN 14501?
European Norm 14501:2005 applies to the whole range of shutters, awnings and blinds defined in EN 12216, described as solar protection devices in this European Standard. It states properties that can be taken into account when comparing products. It also specifies the corresponding parameters and classifications to quantify the following properties:
FOR THE THERMAL COMFORT
- the solar factor (total solar energy transmittance)- the secondary heat transfer factor- the direct solar transmittance.
HOW TO CONTROL GLARE?
In order to achieve high visual comfort in daylight conditions, it is very important to control glare, especially in rooms with computer screens or digital boards. A sensible strategy to prevent glare in a building is:
1. To install light controlling devices should be present in front of all glazings near the façade or atrium;
2. Applied systems for light control should allow full control by the individual user (partial or entire closure of the light transmitting surface);
3. Blinds should be compliant with EN 14501:2005 Glare class 3 or 4.
Glare is difficulty seeing in the presence of hindering bright light such as direct or reflected sunlight. It is caused by a significant ratio of luminance between the task (that which is being looked at) and the glare source. Factors such as the angle between the task and the glare source and eye adaptation have significant impacts on the experience of glare.

Fabrics with a metal backing can have a lighter colour because the thin metal layer is not transparent and therefore reduces the diffuse transmission. Metallized fabrics have the PLATINUM extension in the name. Fabrics with Glare Class 4 are generally used to darken the room (black-out).
HOW TO DETERMINE THE GLARE CLASS?
The standard EN 14501:2005 relates the classification for glare control to the direct and diffuse visual light transmission coefficients of the blind (Tvdir and Tvdiff).

Tvdir = Direct visual light transmission
Tvdir is directly related to the open surface of the light controlling device. For roller blind screen fabrics it is also referred to as openness factor (OF).
Tvdiff = Diffuse visual light transmission
In the case of a screen fabric, Tvdiff is the degree of light shining through the actual fibres of the yarn.
Tvdiff + Tvdir = Tvtot = Tv = Total visual light transmission
A fabric with Tvdir = 0 is fully closed and does not allow to see through it. Because visual contact with the outside is generally considered as an important factor contributing to further visual comfort, the demand which best meets controls glare and also allows contact with the outside is as follows:
0 < Tvdir ≤ 5% en Tvdiff < 2%.
This is the blue cell in the schedule above.
