Coolmonkey Fabrics
Technological Background: Why are Coolmonkey Fabrics so Effective?
01 — Principle
To achieve truly functional shading, simply creating shade is not enough. It is essential to understand the behavior of solar energy. While common materials only passively block light, our thermal fabrics are engineered to actively filter specific components of solar radiation.
02 — Spectrum
How Solar Radiation Affects Your Facility's Temperature
The solar radiation hitting your roof skylights consists of three primary components:
UV
Ultraviolet Radiation (UV)
Features a wavelength shorter than 390–400 nm. Although it represents a smaller part of the spectrum, it causes material degradation indoors.
VIS
Visible Radiation
With a wavelength of approximately 380–760 nm, it allows us to see and work under natural light.
IR
Infrared Radiation (IR) – Thermal
Features a wavelength longer than 750 nm (up to 4000 nm). This component is primarily responsible for overheating, as it carries the majority of thermal energy.
03 — Filtration
How Does Coolmonkey Differ from Standard Fabrics?
Standard shading fabrics often fail to differentiate between these components effectively. This results in either excessive darkness (if the fabric is too dense) or the transmission of infrared radiation, which heats the interior uncontrollably.
Coolmonkey technology is designed to filter these components:
Blocks Infrared Radiation
It reflects the thermal component back to the exterior before it can penetrate the skylight glazing.
Transmits Optimal Visible Light
It ensures sufficient daylight for a safe working environment without causing glare or heat gain.
Stops UV Radiation
It protects your equipment and employees from the harmful effects of the UV spectrum.
Through this selective approach, we achieve maximum thermal efficiency while maintaining high levels of visual comfort.
