Wilson’s Australian Made Blockout Blind Fabrics are all rated to Ultraviolet Protection Factor
UPF 50+ which is the highest rating, providing “Excellent Protection” from the harmful
ultraviolet radiation.
UPF testing involves exposing a fabric to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and measuring how much is
transmitted through the sample.
UVA (long wave UV) Transmittance: 0.000
UVB (short wave UV) Transmittance: 0.000
Ultraviolet Protection Factor: >300 (50+)
UV radiation is part of the light spectrum that has wavelengths
shorter than visible light, making it invisible to the naked eye. These
wavelengths are classified as UVA, UVB, or UVC.
UVC rays are mostly absorbed by the ozone layer and do not reach
the earth, however both UVA and UVB penetrate the atmosphere and
play an important role in conditions such as premature skin aging, eye
damage (including cataracts), and skin cancers. They also suppress
the immune system, reducing your ability to fight off these and other
maladies.
Wilson’s Blockout Blind Fabrics let through 0.000 UVA and UVB rays,
making them excellent at protecting against harmful UV radiation.
The ARPANSA UV laboratory performs Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF).

our coordinating ranges, you can have the same textured design and colour in curtains and blinds.
You can also have a blockout curtain and coordinating translucent blind on the same window; giving you the energy
saving benefits of our quality blockout drapery coupled with the privacy benefits of the translucent blind, which can be
easily rolled up and out of the way if required.
