Casa 20%: A High Openness Screen Blind Fabric for Modern Architecture
Every building tells a story. Some spaces are designed to protect occupants from the outside world. Others are designed to embrace it.
Casa belongs firmly in the second category.
Designed for architects, specifiers and commercial blind manufacturers seeking a balanced approach to solar control, Casa is a performance-driven blind fabric that delivers visual comfort without disconnecting occupants from the outdoors. With a 20% openness factor, good visual contact and very good daylight utilisation, Casa supports interior environments that feel brighter, healthier and more engaging.
Daylight‑Centric Performance
Casa is engineered for projects where natural light plays a central role in the architectural strategy. Rather than blocking external views, Casa filters and moderates daylight to reduce discomfort from excessive sunlight while maintaining visual awareness of the surrounding environment.
This makes Casa particularly suitable for office developments, education facilities, public buildings, hospitality projects and commercial interiors where daylight is considered a key design asset.
Optimised for Daylight Utilisation
Natural daylight remains one of architecture’s most valuable resources. Research consistently demonstrates its importance for wellbeing, productivity and user comfort. Casa supports these objectives through a fabric construction that promotes very good daylight utilisation while contributing to improved visual comfort.
Casa helps transform daylight into a functional component of the interior environment, supporting healthier and more visually balanced spaces.
Preserving External Views
Many blind fabrics prioritise glare reduction at the expense of external visibility. Casa takes a more balanced approach. Good visual contact is one of its defining strengths, allowing occupants to remain connected with outdoor landscapes, city skylines, streetscapes and natural surroundings while benefiting from improved solar management.
For architects designing modern workplaces, this characteristic provides measurable value:
- Improves occupant satisfaction
- Maintains connection with outdoor environments
- Supports workplace wellbeing
- Enhances user experience
- Creates brighter interior spaces
Architectural Aesthetic
Casa offers a textile appearance that introduces warmth and softness into contemporary interiors. Unlike highly technical screen fabrics that can appear industrial, Casa provides a more welcoming aesthetic while maintaining commercial-grade performance.
This makes Casa a versatile choice for modern offices, hospitality environments, education facilities and public buildings.
Creating Comfortable Commercial Interiors
Effective interior environments require balance. Excessive sunlight creates discomfort. Insufficient daylight reduces wellbeing. Over-screening removes connection with the outside environment.
Casa finds the middle ground. Its 20% openness factor allows the fabric to manage these competing demands and create spaces that feel both comfortable and open.
Supporting Sustainable Design
Modern specification increasingly considers environmental performance alongside aesthetics and functionality. Casa supports sustainable building objectives with a PVC-free, halogen-free and antimony-free finish. JM fabrics certified to SCS Advantage Gold may contribute towards schemes including BREEAM, LEED and DGNB.
This enables architects and consultants to align material selection with wider sustainability goals.
Designed for Commercial Performance
Behind its approachable aesthetic, Casa remains a robust commercial blind fabric engineered for long-term reliability.

Why Architects Choose Casa
Architects specify Casa because it understands the needs of modern workplace and commercial design. Successful buildings do more than control sunlight — they support people, provide comfort and maintain connection with their surroundings.
Casa achieves this through a carefully balanced approach that combines daylight utilisation, visual contact, solar management and commercial reliability. It strengthens the relationship between architecture, daylight and human experience.
