For a natural indoor climate, ROMA uses high-quality materials such as glass fiber, polyester and special fabrics for its Textile Screens. These high-tech fabrics differ in their absorption, reflection and transmission of light. Thanks to a wide range of colors, ROMA Textile Screens, also known as vertical awnings, can be individually designed. Light colors reflect light and heat rays particularly effectively, while darker shades allow a better view to the outside. All Fabrics are easy-care, weather-resistant, quality-tested in accordance with ISO 9001 ff. and also highly tear-resistant.
The ROMA Fabrics Advisor and the ROMA Fabrics Finder web application provide a comprehensive overview of all available fabric types with technical details. ROMA specialist partners will also be happy to advise you personally on your selection.

A high opening factor for Fabrics means more transparency for your vertical awnings and more visual contact with the outside, but generally less glare protection. A low opening factor reduces transparency, but usually improves glare and privacy protection. At 0 % opening factor, no view to the outside is possible.
Fabrics with a higher opening factor are particularly suitable for a better view to the outside. They combine pleasant sun and heat protection with harmonious visual contact with the outside. Typical ROMA fabrics for this purpose are Serge 10 %, Serge 5 %, Soltis Harmony 88 or Twilight Comfort 4 %.
Fabrics with a lower opening factor are particularly suitable for high glare protection. They reduce disruptive solar radiation and create pleasant lighting conditions in the room, such as the Serge 1% fabrics made of Glass Fibre Fabrics.
For bedrooms or conference rooms, opaque or darkening fabrics such as Serge 0 %, Soltis Opaque B92 or Twilight Comfort 0 % are particularly suitable. Fabrics with an opening factor of almost 0 % do not allow a view to the outside.
