For over 40 years Verosol has been the world’s leading supplier of technical fabrics for commercial buildings. Verosol’s metal backed fabrics for blinds have been developed specifically to manage the effects of solar radiation - whilst preserving your view.

In the 1960’s, Verosol developed the process of bonding an ultra-fine layer of reflective Aluminium Alloy, to textiles. This metal compound was then applied as a heat reflective backing for Polyester curtain fabric. In the 70’s Verosol pleated blinds soon followed and in the 80’s, Verosol vertical louvres were the choice of architects and designers. In the 90’s technical fabrics like Trevira CS and common sunscreen became widely used. In response Verosol developed a selection of metal backed Trevira CS fabrics in a colour coordinated range of transparencies. Verosol’s most recent development is SilverScreen - a revolutionary high performance sunscreen fabric with metallised backing.

As fashion, Architectural design and construction technology has evolved, so too has Verosol. Verosol now delivers a new generation of metal backed fabrics and blind systems with an internationally recognised reputation for quality, solar efficiency, flexibility and performance.

In 1965, the first metal to textile vacuum bonding chamber was commissioned in Eibergen, The Netherlands. Developed by Cornelis Verolme, the process of bonding metal to a textile delivered a transparent, high performance sunscreen fabric. The original vacuum bonding chamber, is still in commission 40 years later and offers unparalleled performance worldwide. In 1999 Verosol began the process of developing a second metal to textile vacuum bonding chamber capable of managing fabric up to 2400mm in width.

This new chamber was commissioned in 2000 and is the only dedicated, metal to textile vacuum bonding chamber in the world, developed specifically to bond metal backing to polyester, Trevira CS and sunscreen fabrics. Each of these fabrics are tried and proven in the blind making process and, the 2400mm width allows most window panels to be covered in one fabric drop. Furthermore, this completely in-house process is exclusively available to licensed Verosol fabricators. All other blind fabricators subcontract the metallisation process to companies specialising in high volume

metallisation of chip packets, juice cartons and cigarette packaging. Evidence strongly suggests that the process and quality demands of metallising textiles for blinds, are uniquely understood by Verosol.

Lastly, Verosol is the only company in the world to provide complete and accredited metallisation of fabrics for blinds.
