    Introduction

    INTRODUCTION

    The Colt Shadotex system is a unique,


    alternative solar shading solution.
    The Shadotex system consists of a
    special fabric stretched between two
    sides of a louvre support frame. The
    fabric is manufactured with a weave to
    prevent solar glare and solar heat gain.
    The fabric can also create attractive
    diffused light and can allow high
    external vision.

    FEATURES & BENEFITS

    This type of system is extremely


    lightweight which allows large spans
    to be constructed without the need for
    additional supporting framework.

    Modern & Unique Design


    Optional Fabric Choice
    High Solar Absorption

    This system offers building designers


    a unique solution to external solar
    shading systems.
