Key Features and Challenges:
Ladder Braid Construction:
- Utilizes ladder braid methodology borrowed from internal venetian blinds.
- Ladder braid woven with polyester and extruded ladder strings controls slat/louvre movement.
- Disadvantage: Polyester fibres stretch, causing uneven solar heat reflection and light penetration. Reinforcement with Kevlar/Aramid fibres minimizes stretching issues.
Challenges in Ladder Braid Design:
- Ensuring stable ladder braid construction with Kevlar/Aramid reinforcement demands intricate weaving methods.
- Inadequate reinforcement may lead to ladder braid stretching and slat rotation issues under wind loading.
Slat Rotation Stability:
- Attempts made with plastic stabilizers or "clover leaf" engagement tabs.
- Historical testing reveals flaws; plastic stabilizers disconnect in Australian climatic conditions, and "clover leaf" tabs may cut through ladder strings due to wind vibration.
Wire Guides and Wind Stability:
- Wire guides come in untreated, galvanized, or stainless steel; all SURE SHADE® wire guides are stainless steel coated for durability.
- Wire guides alone cannot provide complete wind stability due to inherent slat movement.
Zamac Pins for Enhanced Stability:
- Basic 80C L1 E can gain some wind stability with Zamac pins.
- Zamac pins, riveted to alternate slats, engage with extruded aluminium side guides, minimizing rotation but not eliminating it.
