Vento 3%: Acoustic Screen Fabric for Modern Commercial Interiors
Successful commercial environments depend upon more than appearance alone. Daylight management, visual comfort and acoustic performance all contribute to the way occupants experience a building. Vento 3% has been developed specifically to balance these requirements within a single architectural shading fabric.
Designed for architects, specifiers and commercial blind manufacturers, Vento combines acoustic absorption, glare control, privacy and a refined textile appearance. The result is a commercial screen fabric capable of supporting both technical performance objectives and contemporary interior design.
Unlike conventional screen fabrics that focus purely on solar management, Vento contributes directly to the quality of the interior environment through measurable acoustic performance and occupant comfort benefits.
Acoustic Performance for Better Occupant Wellbeing
Acoustic comfort has become a key consideration in modern architecture. Open-plan offices, educational facilities and public buildings frequently experience excessive sound reflection that can negatively affect concentration and communication.
Vento delivers measurable sound absorption with an acoustic value of αw = 0.45, helping support wider acoustic design strategies and creating more comfortable interior environments. This level of performance places Vento among the strongest acoustic screen fabrics within the JM portfolio.
The result is a space that feels calmer, more productive and more pleasant to occupy throughout the working day.
- αw = 0.45 acoustic absorption
- Supports workplace wellbeing
- Helps reduce sound reflection
- Enhances occupant comfort
- Suitable for acoustically sensitive environments
3% Openness for Balanced Daylight Management
Vento features a carefully engineered 3% openness factor that delivers an effective balance between daylight utilisation, glare reduction and external visibility.
This openness level helps preserve a visual connection with the outside world while avoiding many of the visual discomfort issues associated with direct sunlight.
For architects, this creates a practical balance between transparency and performance.
Very Good Glare Control
Excessive glare can have a significant impact on workplace productivity, educational performance and occupant satisfaction.
Vento provides very good glare control, particularly in darker colourways, helping create more comfortable environments for screen-based work, collaboration and learning.
This characteristic makes the fabric especially relevant for offices, universities and technology-focused workplaces.
Good Visual Contact and Night Privacy
Effective screen fabrics must control sunlight without disconnecting occupants from the external environment.
Vento offers good visual contact while also providing good night privacy across the collection. This balance supports occupant comfort throughout the day and evening.
Users benefit from external views while maintaining an appropriate level of privacy when interior lighting conditions change.
Designed for Modern Commercial Architecture
The fabric's textile appearance allows it to integrate naturally into contemporary interior schemes without appearing overly technical or industrial.
Architects and interior designers can incorporate Vento into a variety of commercial environments while maintaining a sophisticated and professional appearance.
Its broad suitability makes it a versatile solution for modern workplaces and institutional buildings.
