A sun control textile with high transmittance and a manufacturing method thereof. In the manufacturing method of the sun control textile, a high-performance sun control film is processed into slender filaments. The slender filaments are woven and assembled with other yarns by a weaving device to together form a sun control textile. The different connection manners of the sun control film yarns lead to different visible light transmittance and sun control effect of the sun control textile, whereby an excellent sun control textile with high transmittance can be achieved.

Fabrics which allow for light transmission and provide thermal insulation are described. A fabric is formed from at least one yarn to form a continuous web of fabric. The continuous web is configured to allow between 20% and 65% of incident light to be transmitted through the fabric, and to reduce heat transfer through the fabric such that the fabric has an R value of at least 0.75 K.Math.m.sup.2/W. The continuous web of fabric may be a woven fabric where the at least one yarn is woven to form the woven fabric.

A sunshade includes a support frame and a canopy connected to the support frame and including a light-transmissible fabric sheet of undyed yarns that has opposite inner and outer surfaces, an ink layer formed on one of the inner and outer surfaces of the light-transmissible fabric sheet using dye-sublimation printing techniques, and an opaque enamel coating coated on the other of the inner and outer surfaces of the light-transmissible fabric sheet The undyed yarns are woven and cross one another to form fabric pores thereamong. The opaque enamel coating fills the fabric pores. A method of preparing a canopy is disclosed.

Disclosed herein is a warp knit spacer dual functional fabric construction that provides the ability to absorb sweat on one side and the ability to cool skin to below a current temperature whether wetted or dry on the other side. The knit uses four separate yarns which collectively work together to produce enhanced cooling. Knits can include warp knit spacer and circular knit spacer materials. Various finishing methods may also be employed to enhance the cooling power of the fabric.

The present disclosure provides a method for processing an all-polyester fiber cotton-like fabric with sunlight resistance. The method includes: 1) weaving a PTT/PET bicomponent composite stretch yarn into a fabric; 2) dyeing processing the fabric; and 3) finalizing and finishing, wherein the finalizing and finishing comprises: a) preparing a finishing liquor obtained by mixing a crosslinking agent and an emulsion of benzophenone-containing polyorganosiloxane; b) padding the fabric; and c) drying and finalizing at a high temperature.

A light-shielding fabric for a curtain-type vertical blind may include a single light-transmitting portion (130) capable of transmitting light, a first light-shielding portion (110) disposed at one side of the light-transmitting portion (130) and attached or coupled to the light-transmitting portion, and a second light-shielding portion (120) disposed at the other side of the light-transmitting portion (130) and attached or coupled to the light-transmitting portion, in which a front surface (110a) of the first light-shielding portion (110) and a rear surface (120b) of the second light-shielding portion (120) have a first color (A), in which a rear surface (110b) of the first light-shielding portion (110) and a front surface (120a) of the second light-shielding portion (120) have a second color (B), and in which the first color (A) is different from the second color (B).

A covering for an architectural feature includes a woven material. The woven material is made at least partially from binder yarns to form a woven fabric. The binder yarns are heated after the fabric is woven to a temperature sufficient to cause the binder yarns to bond and fuse to adjacent yarns at crossover points. The woven material is inherently resistant to fraying and/or unraveling.

A weather-resistant fabric is disclosed made from highly texturized multifilament synthetic polymer yarns. The yarns have a relatively large size or denier and are woven in a manner that produces a fabric with wool-like characteristics. The weather-resistant fabric is particularly well suited as an upholstery fabric for outdoor furniture.
