Dim and blackout
All products offer the possibility for a slight dim. A total blackout however is only achievable by using shutter blinds or roll-down curtains.

In this case these products are manufactured with an extra coating of nacre or a more bright color is chosen. All this ensures a high grade of heat reflection.
Special types
