Functional fabrics for schools and daycare centres

Segments

Education

We were all students once. We know the situation where the sun is blinding and classrooms become extremely hot. Concentration is then barely possible. Or when you can't see much during a projector presentation because the classroom isn't dark enough. Some schools have convenient external shading systems that provide a remedy in these situations. But what can you do if you don't have access to this modern technology? Especially in older buildings, complex and expensive shading systems are often not available.

In this case, curtains are a functional and visually attractive solution because they can do so much.

Why textiles are indispensable in schools and daycare centres

Darkening | Optimum lighting conditions for concentrated learning

Dimout and blackout curtains allow rooms to be almost completely darkened. This allows presentations on projectors and screens to be displayed clearly and with high contrast at all times - regardless of the time of day. 

Glare protection and a pleasant room climate

Where complete darkening is not required, lightweight curtains provide effective glare protection. They let in daylight while preventing annoying reflections. The result: a calm, pleasant atmosphere that noticeably improves the concentration and well-being of children and teachers.

Energy efficiency at any time of year

DELITHERM® fabrics actively contribute to saving energy. In summer, they reduce solar radiation by up to 55% and protect rooms from overheating. In winter, they have an insulating effect and reduce heat loss at the window - with potential savings of up to 15% on heating costs.

Better room acoustics for more peace and quiet

Textiles absorb sound and reduce noise levels - a decisive factor in lively learning environments. Acoustically tested fabrics from DELIUS support a quieter learning atmosphere and improve speech intelligibility in the room. 

Colours that have a positive influence on learning

Colours have a direct effect on mood and behaviour. Fabrics can be used to design rooms flexibly and effectively - whether as curtains, room dividers or wall designs. This creates inspiring learning environments that provide orientation and promote creativity.

Maximum safety in everyday life

All DELIUS fabrics are permanently flame retardant. This property is firmly anchored in the fibre and is retained even after frequent washing - a crucial safety aspect for public facilities. 

Easy to clean and hygienic

Easy cleaning is crucial, especially in high-traffic areas. Curtain fabrics are easy to wash and can be reused quickly - for permanently clean and tidy rooms.

Sustainable and durable

DELIUS fabrics are made from high-quality, durable yarns such as polyester FR or Trevira CS. They are robust, recyclable and designed for a long service life - an important contribution to sustainable furnishing concepts. In the EcoLine range, you will find fabrics made from recycled materials, and in the EcoSafe range, you will even find biodegradable fabrics that have been rated "Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold" along the entire value chain. 

Robust solutions for seating

Artificial leather offers a particularly hard-wearing and hygienic alternative for chairs and seating furniture. It is washable, resistant to disinfectants and impresses with its durable, colour-intensive surfaces.
