Subject: [MUSEUM-L] 1% openness

 

I guess this question is directed at conservators and collections
managers on the listserve: I'm searching for Solarveil-type blinds for
our institution. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of Solarveil fabric has
gone out of business. One blind manufacturer I spoke with said I can get
the same effect (allowing some visible light in, but blocking most UV
light) by using any material with "1% openness". My questions are: Is
this accurate? And assuming it's a description of weave density, how the
heck do I gauge "openness? Is there another manufacturer of
solarveil-type fabric that I should be contacting? 

 

Thanks,
