This includes limits on substances that are regulated by law, as well as many chemicals that are not yet legally restricted but are known to raise health or environmental concerns. Textiles with this certification offer reassurance that they do not contain hazardous concentrations of substances such as formaldehyde, heavy metals, pesticides, or prohibited PFAS compounds – making them a safe and responsible choice for indoor environments.
FEATURES OF OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100:
✔ Tested for over 100 substances ✔ Strict limits for human & environmental safety ✔ Globally recognised certification ✔ Meets EU REACH requirements ✔ Includes limit values for legally banned PFAS ✔ Updated annually to reflect the latest knowledge ✔ Adjusted to comply with new legal requirements 39
FLAME RETARDANT CURTAIN FABRICS WHAT DOES FR MEAN? FR (Flame Retardant) fabrics are designed to slow the spread of fire and help improve safety in public environments. Flame retardant curtain fabrics are widely used in sectors with strict fire regulations – such as healthcare, hospitality, education and transportation. Curtains and textiles in these spaces must help reduce the spread of fire and smoke in the event of ignition – a crucial factor when many people are present. At Pagunette, we offer a wide selection of flame retardant fabrics that meet international fire safety certifications without compromising on aesthetics or versatility. INHERENT FR VS.

ACOUSTICS
Better sound creates better spaces LOWER THE NOISE In many workplaces and publicly available spaces, the noise levels are typically unnecessarily high. It has been scientifically proven that permanent background noise affect our performance levels negatively and lower the general sense of wellbeing. Noise reducing curtains have a positive impact on both the visual expression of the room, and the acoustics. The careful and specific construction of the fabrics, reduces sound intensity and prevents noise development in the space. TESTED AND CERTIFIED Our acoustic fabrics are tested according to ISO 354 and classified in accordance with ISO 11654, but even those of our curtains that have not been certified as acoustic curtains, contribute to a more comfortable soundscape at your workplace. The reason for this, is that the sound waves, that would otherwise be reflected back and forth between the bare walls and hard and smooth surfaces of the windows, are absorbed and interrupted by the soft, wavy and textured surface of the curtain fabric.
ACOUSTICS TEXTILES You can find an updated list on our website – under the “Contract - Acoustics” section. In addition to those mentioned here, we also have a wide selection of textiles in class D.

UNDERSTANDING SOUND FREQUENCIES The effectiveness of an acoustic solution depends on the type of noise and the characteristics of the room. Curtains can significantly improve acoustic comfort by reducing sound reflections from windows and other hard surfaces. HIGH FREQUENCIES (above 2 kHz)
Often treated by CEILING
MID FREQUENCIES (250 Hz-2 kHz)
Often treated by WALLS
LOW FREQUENCIES (below 250 Hz)
Often treated by FLOOR
Curtains are particularly effective at reducing reflections from speech and everyday room noise. When in doubt, a professional acoustic measurement can help identify the most effective solution. 42

DIMOUT AND BLACKOUT CURTAINS FROM SOFT LIGHT TO TOTAL DARKNESS In public and professional spaces, controlling natural light is essential for both comfort and functionality. Different situations call for different levels of light control — and this is where dimout and blackout curtains each play a distinct role. Although they may appear similar at first glance, the two types perform very differently in terms of how much light they block and how they influence the atmosphere of a room. DIMOUT – NOT FULL DARKNESS (70-99% LIGHT REDUCTION) Dimout curtains are designed to significantly reduce incoming daylight while still allowing a soft glow to pass through. They create a subdued, comfortable light level, which helps reduce glare without darkening the room completely. This makes them ideal for classrooms, offices and meeting rooms, where a balance between daylight and visual comfort is required. BLACKOUT – COMPLETE DARKNESS (100% LIGHT EXCLUSION) Blackout curtains, on the other hand, use a dense weave or a special coating to block 100% of incoming light, creating total darkness. They are essential in spaces where full light exclusion is needed — such as auditoriums, conference rooms, care facilities and especially hotel rooms, where deep, undisturbed sleep is a priority. Studies show that people sleep better in complete darkness, making blackout curtains a key factor in comfort and guest satisfaction.
LIGHT CONTROL LEVELS: DIMOUT:
70-99% LIGHT REDUCTION Reduces daylight while allowing a soft glow to pass through.
BLACKOUT:
100% LIGHT EXCLUSION Blocks all incoming light for total darkness.
DECORATIVE FABRICS WITH LINING
Many of our decorative fabrics can be combined with a dimout or blackout lining, offering enhanced light control while preserving the look and elegance of the face fabric construction.
PLEASE NOTE:
Even blackout curtains may allow small amounts of light to enter around the edges if the curtain is not installed close to the wall or window frame. A small amount of light may also be visible through stitched seams, depending on the fabric construction. 333206

MARTINDALE DURABILITY IN UPHOLSTERY FABRICS Many of our fabrics are suitable not only for curtains and room dividers, but also for upholstery. Their durability is tested using the Martindale method – an internationally recognised standard for measuring abrasion resistance. The test measures how many rubs a fabric can withstand before showing signs of wear. The higher the Martindale value, the greater the durability. Our upholstery qualities are designed to maintain their appearance and performance even in demanding environments, making them suitable for both residential and contract applications.

FASTNESS TO LIGHT PROTECTING COLOUR OVER TIME All curtain fabrics are exposed to natural and artificial light, and this can cause fading over time. Lightfastness describes how well a textile maintains its colour when exposed to light -an important factor in commercial spaces with large windows or strong daylight. Lightfastness is measured according to ISO 105-B02, using a scale from 1 to 8, where 8 is the highest resistance. For professional and high-traffic environments, we recommend a rating of 5 or above.
SEVERAL FACTORS AFFECT LIGHTFASTNESS: Fibre type – natural fibres like cotton, linen and wool fade more easily than polyester Dyeing method – some eco-friendly dye processes use fewer chemicals, which can reduce stability Colour choice – bright reds, yellows and purples are especially sensitive to UV light Sun exposure – Direct sunlight accelerates fading
To prolong the fabric’s appearance, we recommend using lined curtains or adjusting the folds regularly to distribute light exposure more evenly. Most Pagunette fabrics are tested for lightfastness, and the results can be found on our website or technical datasheets.

RECYCLED POLYESTER RECYCLED VS. CONVENTIONAL POLYESTER - LOWER RESOURCE USE Recycled polyester (rPET) is produced from preor post-consumer waste, such as plastic bottles or textile scraps. By using existing materials, it reduces the need for new fossil-based raw materials and supports more circular material flows. Today, recycled polyester is available in a wide range of textile qualities, including many flame-retardant fabrics suitable for contract applications. Certifications such as GRS (Global Recycled Standard) help ensure documented recycled content and traceability throughout the supply chain.
WHY CHOOSE RECYCLED POLYESTER FEATURE

MELTED PELLETS RECYCLED YARN Flakes are melted and Pellets are spun into yarn turned into polyester pellets. for textile production.
IMPORTANT WHEN MARKETING RECYCLED TEXTILES Under current EU rules, broad environmental claims must be avoided when describing textile products. Words such as “environmentally friendly”, “green”, “climate neutral” or “sustainable” should not be used, as they suggest an overall environmental benefit that cannot be documented for textiles. Textile products have impacts across many stages, including raw materials, production, transport, use and disposal, and these cannot be reduced to a single general claim. When referring to recycled materials, communication must be clear and specific. 46

GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an internationally recognised certification that documents the use of recycled materials and ensures responsible production across the entire supply chain. Many of our textiles are GRS certified. WHAT GRS GUARANTEES VERIFIED RECYCLED CONTENT The amount and type of recycled fibre is clearly documented. TRACEABILITY From raw material to finished textile.
CONTROLLED CHEMICAL PROCESSES GRS-certified producers must follow strict procedures for chemical use. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Requirements for wastewater treatment and responsible disposal of chemical waste. SOCIAL COMPLIANCE GRS-certified facilities are audited for fair and safe working conditions.
IMPORTANT TO KNOW GRS certification does not guarantee a lower total environmental footprint, but it confirms that recycled materials are used and processed under recognised environmental and social standards. 47
HYGIENIC WASHING RELIABILITY WOVEN INTO EVERY THREAD In healthcare environments and other public spaces with strict hygiene requirements, it’s essential that textiles withstand repeated high-temperature washing – without compromising on performance, appearance, or durability. At Pagunette, we offer curtain fabrics that meet these requirements. Several of our qualities are tested according to the American hospital standard AATCC 96, which simulates industrial laundering conditions and assesses dimensional stability after repeated washing and drying. In addition, we offer fabrics that are tested in accordance with ISO 6330 and ISO 5077, ensuring they can be washed at 60°C or up to 72°C, depending on the specific fabric and application. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Hospitals & clinics
Public institutions
Large-scale kitchens & canteens
Care homes & assisted living
When you choose hygienically washable curtains from Pagunette, you’re choosing products that combine technical reliability, design versatility, and long-lasting performance – even in the most demanding environments.
WASHING TEMPERATURES EXPLAINED Some of our curtain fabrics are marked with multiple washing temperatures, such as 30°C, 60°C and 74°C. The lowest temperature is the recommended regular wash and is designed to preserve the fabric’s appearance and performance over time. Higher temperatures may be used when enhanced hygiene or thermal disinfection is required. Depending on the specific fabric and test results, some qualities can withstand washing at temperatures up to 70–74°C. 30°C Regular washing for maintenance and general use. 60°C Washing for environments with high hygiene requirements.
74
48
70°C-74°C* Thermal disinfection for high-level hygiene. Use only when approved for the specific fabric.
THERMOCHEMICAL DISINFECTION For curtain fabrics that are not designed to tolerate washing above 60°C, thermochemical disinfection offers an effective and validated alternative. This method combines washing at moderately high temperatures (typically 60°C) with approved disinfectants to achieve the required microbiological cleanliness. This process is particularly important in healthcare settings, where eliminating bacteria such as Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) is critical for preventing infection and ensuring a safe environment. Several Pagunette fabrics are washable at 60°C with durability verified through ISO 6330 testing. This makes them suitable for use in validated thermochemical disinfection processes, where elevated temperatures and approved disinfectants are used, a reliable alternative when washing at 70–74°C is not suitable for the fabric. Even when a fabric is approved for high-temperature washing, elevated heat will always increase wear over time.
CURTAINS SUITABLE FOR HYGIENIC WASHING Here you’ll find a selection of curtain designs that can withstand washing at elevated temperatures – ideal for environments with strict hygiene requirements. For fabrics washable at 60 °C, hygienic performance can be achieved through validated thermochemical disinfection processes. Please note: Repeated washing at high temperatures may affect certain properties, including dimensional stability (warp and weft), colour fastness, and surface texture. To preserve longevity, use higher temperatures only when required.
