Which is better, light or dark fabric?
The choice between light and dark canvas does not have a single answer, as it depends on the use we want to give it. Here we help you decide which is the best option according to your design and functionality needs.
Design vs. Functionality
If we prioritize design over functionality, Sauleda offers more than 120 plain colors that block 99% of ultraviolet radiation. The wide range of colors allows you to personalize and embellish any space, providing a vibrant and unique touch.
Functionality: Light and Heat
If functionality is our priority, we must consider two key factors: light and heat.
Thermal Regulation:
Light fabrics reflect more heat and absorb less radiation, which means they heat up less and therefore do not radiate as much temperature. They are ideal for applications where the tarpaulin is close to us, keeping us cool and comfortable. On the other hand, dark farbics reflect less sunlight, absorbing more heat in the process. These are perfect for areas where more shade and intense sun protection are needed, but they are not suitable for close use, as they can give off heat. Therefore, light colors are generally applied on the inside and dark colors on the outside.
Lighting:
Dark fabrics, having low light transmission, create spaces with reduced light. On the other hand, light farbics, with their greater light transmission capacity, provide greater illumination in the space.
On the other hand, we also find another solution with micro-perforated technical fabrics, these allow us to see through them through the different aperture coefficients.
Conclusion
In short, the choice between a light or dark farbics will depend on whether you prioritize design or functionality. If you are looking for freshness and greater lighting, light fabrics are your best option. If you prefer more shade and intense sun protection, opt for dark tarps. Don’t wait any longer to enjoy a fresh and vibrant summer!
