Via is a gently shimmering striped curtain by Åsa Pärson, which plays with light and shadow. It’s rhythmic tone-in-tone design is inspired by the overlapping alleys and roadways in Italy.
The curtain derives its distinctive lustre from a construction that unites subtly contrasting yarns which have a natural shine. Furthermore, Åsa Pärson, who always works with handwoven samples she creates herself, focused on density when designing the curtain. To ensure it offers both privacy and vibrancy, Via allows some light through yet does not reveal what's on its other side. Via is particularly well suited to healthcare and contract market spaces, as it meets the sector's stringent testing and performance standards and is fire retardant.

LightFastness {{site.selectedConfiguration.lightFastness}}
ISO 105-B02
Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period.
The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.

Absorption (100 mm) 0.55/Class D (Absorption flat) 0.75/Class C (Absorption folded)
EN ISO 354
Acoustic absorption is indicated as αw-value which approximately corresponds to the percentage of sound absorbed. For instance, an αw-value of 0,4 translates into 40% absorption of sound. Acoustic absorption of a textile is measured in its flat and draped state.

Airflow 474 Pa s/m
EN ISO 9053-1
Airflow resistance influences the sound absorbing qualities of a textile. Typically, the denser the construction of the textile, the higher the value.

Flame retardant performance depends on the type of foam used. There are differing requirements concerning the flame-retardancy of textiles dependent on the area of application, country or even region. Our textiles pass the majority of international standards and are also tested for a selection of regional requirements.

Regular cleaning is important in order to keep the curtain textile looking its best and to prolong its life. Dust and dirt wear down the textile and also reduce its fire-retardant properties.

Regular care
If possible, we recommend washing curtains once a year. If used heavily, a more frequent cleaning may be appropriate. All curtain fabrics by Kvadrat and Sahco are supplied with a care label. We recommend the use of detergent without optical bleach for all items in which, according to care instructions, washing is possible. Please take into account a possible shrinkage between 1–4 %. It is always possible to wash at a lower temperature that the one specified for light soiling. Please contact a professional dry cleaner if dry cleaning is the only option for maintenance. A professional dry cleaner may also assist in working out maintenance schedules which ensure that the fabrics are maintained properly so that a good indoor climate and maximum duration of the curtains are achieved.
