Shading coefficient defines the sun control capability or efficiency of the glazing system.

The shading coefficient defines the sun control capability of the glazing system.

Therefore, glass products should have a low solar heat gain coefficient or low shading coefficient; the u-value, or insulating performance is of lesser importance.

The shading coefficient of these fabrics is approximately 60%, which makes it possible to lower the temperature of approximately 10 to 12 ° C. Bonus: some shading screens can also be used as a heat shield in the winter.

South and West elevations take into account shading coefficient while observing a high daylight transmission.
