One Curtain Covers All the Lights in Vancouver: My Three-layer Woven Shading Curtain Saving Diary

-Make Life Happier-

When I moved into my old apartment in Vancouver's West End last summer, I was excited about the French window facing west-until the first summer night came. At 9: 30 in the evening, the sunset sticks to the triple weave fabric shades frame like a molten amber, the floor is so hot that it can fry eggs, and the TV screen reflects into a mirror. What's more, at 4 o'clock in the morning, the gray-blue morning light came in from the gap of the curtain like a thief and accurately pierced my eyelids. After living on coffee for a week in a row, I decided to declare war on the "light tyranny in Vancouver"

History of stepping on a pit: from "silver-coated assassin" to "linen traitor"

My first battle was the "all-shading silver curtain" of a home store, which was beautiful in price and instantly made the room as dark as a cave. However, three months later, the coating began to peel off like dandruff, and the sun cast a strange red spot on the wall through the gap, and friends teased it like a horror film studio. I refused to admit defeat and put on a high-priced linen curtain. As a result, the humidity in Vancouver made it hang like a wave for half a year, and the light transmittance soared in rainy days. The bedroom at six in the morning was as bright as a clinic.

In an old curtain shop in Kerrisdale, the white-haired master listened to my history of blood and tears and pulled out a roll of beige fabric from the warehouse: "Try this, three-layer woven physical shading, coating? That is the technology of the last era. "

Anatomy of its sandwich structure;

Outer layer: twill blended polyester, matte texture like a crushed cloud, beige neutralizes the blazing sun;

Ultimate Savior: Physical Seal of Three-layer Woven Shade

Middle layer: high-density black polyester net, with over 300 interweaving points per square centimeter under the microscope, the sunlight is absorbed instantly when it hits;

Inner layer: cotton interlining with through-hole tissue, which is not stuffy and sweaty against the skin, and solves the electrostatic trouble of chemical fiber.

The master stepped on the ladder to adjust the U-shaped track, and the top was equipped with a sealing strip. When the curtains were closed, there was a loud swish, and the room fell into velvet darkness-I couldn't see my fingers, and even the mobile phone sensor mistook it for late at night.

Light is opaque to people, so privacy and lighting are the same

Many people may worry that the triple weave fabric shades will darken the room, but this white anti-ultraviolet shutter is really good in this respect. Although it can effectively block ultraviolet rays and some strong light, it still retains soft natural lighting. Even if the shutter is closed during the day, the room will not be completely dark, but it will create a gentle light atmosphere, which is very suitable for me to work at home or read at leisure.

From the outside, I can hardly see the indoor situation, which is a great plus for people like me who pay attention to privacy.

Three moments of qualitative change in life

The "dry fortress" of rainstorm week:
Vancouver is rainy in winter, and the old curtains are always damp. The three-layer woven air holes are like breathing pores, and the curtain surface is still dry in the morning. Later, it was learned that the reticular structure in the middle layer formed an air layer, moisture was discharged upward, and water droplets did not condense at all.

The "light and shadow magic" of home office:
Want to take a nap in the afternoon? Close the curtains and it will turn into night in seconds. During video conference, the curtain is half-opened, the satin surface filters the sunlight into a soft box effect, and the face has its own beauty light effect. It is said that the shading rate of 8 satin patterns is over 96%, and the measured desk illuminance meter shows that it is only 3 lux, which is really darkroom shading.

Unexpected "noise reduction egg":
The apartment faces the street and used to be awakened by the roar of garbage trucks in the middle of the night. One day after changing the curtain, I suddenly found that the sound absorption of the three-layer structure is comparable to tweed, and the engine sound outside the window becomes a distant buzz. Look up the data to know that the higher the fabric density, the greater the sound wave penetration loss-save the money for buying a white noise machine.

Cleaning anxiety: I was worried that the white system was difficult to take care of, but in fact, the electrostatic duster was swept once a week, and there was no dust stain for half a year. Once the coffee was knocked over, the foam cleaner was wiped clean after standing for 1 minute, and the nano-scale antifouling coating was ten times more environmentally friendly than the coated curtain.

Mystery of temperature adjustment: it is rare to have high temperature this summer. When it is 32℃ outside in the afternoon, the infrared thermometer inside the curtain shows only 26.5℃. The old master revealed that the middle black mesh layer absorbs light energy and converts it into heat energy, but the air layer blocks heat conduction, which is equivalent to adding a heat shield to the window.
