Tecno Alu 2%: Acoustic Low‑E Screen Fabric for Thermal and Visual Comfort
Modern architecture is increasingly expected to deliver more than attractive interiors. Buildings must support wellbeing, energy efficiency and occupant comfort while maintaining strong visual performance. Tecno Alu 2% has been developed specifically to meet these expectations.
Combining acoustic absorption, Low‑E technology and advanced solar control characteristics, Tecno Alu provides architects, specifiers and commercial blind manufacturers with a highly capable architectural screen fabric designed for contemporary commercial environments.
Unlike conventional screen fabrics that focus on a single performance objective, Tecno Alu simultaneously addresses acoustics, glare control, thermal comfort and daylight management.
Acoustic Comfort for Productive Interiors
Noise continues to be one of the most significant challenges in modern offices, educational environments and public buildings.
Tecno Alu contributes directly to improved acoustic conditions with measured values of αw = 0.45 and NRC = 0.45, helping reduce sound reflection and support more comfortable interior environments.
This level of acoustic performance allows the fabric to form part of wider workplace wellbeing and acoustic design strategies while retaining all the practical benefits of a roller blind system.
- αw 0.45 acoustic absorption
- NRC 0.45 performance
- Supports workplace wellbeing
- Reduces reverberation
- Contributes to occupant comfort
Low‑E Technology for Thermal Performance
Tecno Alu incorporates advanced low-emissivity technology through its specialist aluminium-backed construction.
This Low‑E layer helps reduce thermal transfer through glazing while enhancing interior comfort and supporting broader energy-efficiency objectives.
For highly glazed buildings, Tecno Alu functions as part of a wider thermal-management strategy rather than simply acting as a decorative shading product.
High Solar Reflection Across All Colours
Many technical fabrics achieve solar control through darker colour palettes. Tecno Alu delivers high solar reflection across all colours within the range.
This allows architects greater design freedom while maintaining effective solar management and thermal comfort performance.
The result is a fabric that balances design flexibility with measurable building-performance benefits.
Improved Glare Control and Visual Comfort
Visual comfort directly influences productivity, wellbeing and user satisfaction.
Tecno Alu has been engineered to provide improved glare control, particularly in lighter colours, while preserving a comfortable relationship with incoming daylight.
This makes the fabric particularly suitable for workplaces, educational facilities and technology-focused environments where screen usage is common.
Improved Visual Contact with the Outside World
Occupants increasingly expect a visual connection with the external environment.
Tecno Alu maintains improved visual contact while helping mitigate the negative effects of excessive sunlight and glare.
This balance contributes to healthier, more engaging interior spaces that remain connected to the outside environment.
Enhanced Colour Rendering for Design-Led Interiors
Successful interiors rely upon accurate colour perception. Tecno Alu delivers an improved colour rendering index, helping interior finishes, furniture and architectural materials appear more natural under daylight conditions.
Combined with its textile appearance, this creates a refined architectural shading solution suitable for premium commercial environments.

Why Architects Choose Tecno Alu
Architects specify Tecno Alu because it delivers multiple performance benefits through a single shading system.
Its combination of acoustic absorption, Low‑E thermal technology, strong glare control and improved visual comfort makes it one of the most technically capable fabrics within the JM collection.
Most importantly, it helps create commercial interiors that are quieter, cooler, more comfortable and better suited to modern patterns of work and occupation.
That is the purpose of Tecno Alu.
