Latest innovations by Copaco® new products
decorating your home by printed screens
The Screen Bordado or the embroidered
screen represents an innovation in the world
of interior architecture. With these embroi-
dered screens, architects, interior designers &
consumers can give a personal & unique touch
to their interior.
But today’s fast-moving environment
continuously leads to changing needs of
interior & exterior spaces. The right colour &
design of a sunscreen can make big difference
in the overall interior decor and type of atmos-
phere you wish to create. A good combination
of colours & patterns can make your home,
hotel, office ... attractive and inviting.
To respond to the demands of architects and
designers, we’ve created a new line ‘Impress®’
for exterior use !
The first collection of Impress®, named
‘Between In and Out’, is elaborated in collabo-
ration with architects and colour specialists
and represents a range of unique & exclusive
designs. The colours are specially chosen taking
into account the new & popular colours of the
paint & aluminium industry and are also in
line with the new colours of the other Copaco®
novelties. The patterns are specially developed
in order to reduce cutting losses.
Sunscreens Impress® are ideal when you
want to create a certain atmosphere or want
to put some accents, an eye-catcher on your
building.
The exclusive designs are printed on our quali-
tative Serge 600 fabric and as the standard
Serge 600 fabrics, the screens Impress® will
also be available in 3,20 m width!
The colours & patterns are printed in a thermal
way, with a special developed varnish to pro-
tect the inks. Thanks to the special printing pro-
cess, a long lasting colour fastness of the design
can be guaranteed. A special finish makes the
fabric extra water- and dirt-repellent.
The Impress® collection is a unique and exclu-
sive combination of trendy patterns and
colours, elaborated in four inspirational books.
About a year ago, we’ve successfully launched our first collection
‘Screen Bordado’, within our decorative line ‘Screendecor®’.
With Impress®, you can combine different
designs within the same colour group but you
can also combine these colour(s) (groups) with
our Small Batch collection, the new colours
‘architects’ selection’ ...
Make the difference and create your desired
atmosphere with Impress®, a unique collection
of printed sunscreens for exterior use!

Copaco® production & products:
always nature in mind
Save energywith Copaco® sunscreens
At absolutely no time during the production process does
Copaco® lose sight of the environment.
Via green electricity and ecological installations, Copaco® contributes to an environ-
mentally-friendly and low-energy production process.
But the end products also save energy. Using a sunscreen fabric means significant
savings on air conditioning, resulting in lower CO2 emissions and thus a better environ-
ment.
comfort with nature in mind
Copaco® doesn’t look only to save
energy with sunscreen fabrics, but
wants to go a step further by producing
ecological fabrics, based on recycled
materials or on recycable materials.
As manufacturer of sunscreen fabrics, Copaco® takes care
of the environment. Sunscreen fabrics are proven as being
the best solution to keep heat out during summer time, and
to decrease energy consumption.
We are proud to present you our new eco range. During
several years we are developing sunscreen fabrics, based
on recycled or recycable materials, in which we don’t only
look towards pvc free fabrics, but we take the complete
ecological footprint into consideration. This was always
the base of our development, and we now can present 2
innovative novelties, into this eco range: Solimbra® and
Ulterio®.
Also in the future, other fabrics will be developed and we
are sure that Copaco® will become the reference for eco-
logical fabrics.

Copaco® production & products:
always nature in mind discover our neW
eco collection
Copaco® as being leading manufacturer of exterior sunscreen fabrics, is always
looking for new innovative products to offer to the market. We even think here
out of the box, which will diversify us from our competitors. Based on this view,
we decided to start up a partnership with the Belgian manufacturer Concordia
Textiles, who developed a new type of awning fabric, which is revolutionary into
the market. Concordia Textiles will be the manufacturer and Copaco the commercial
partner towards the sunscreen market. The new Solimbra® product fits perfect into
the policy of both companies, to come with innovative products in new or existing
markets, taking into consideration the ecological footprint.
The Solimbra® product is based on polyolefine materials, and is developed during
12 years. The product has a lot of positive properties, which are much better then
the existing acrylic fabrics, such as weight, thickness, colour stability (8/8), UV
resistance, water and dirt repellancy, mechanical properties which are double as
c onventional acrylic fabrics, … And last but not least: the fabric is weldable, which
means that the ondulations that occurs because of the sewing seam can be almost
excluded. And for all, this fabric is produced on an ecological base.
Ecological means also recycable. Solimbra® is completely recycable, and even a new
awning fabric can be produced with the same original properties.
This fabric is really revolutionary into the awning world.
For more information, visit our website or contact our sales team.
Copaco® was the first to present on the R&T show 2012, a new interior sunscreen
fabric, which is based on recycable materials. This means that Copaco® is able
to make sunscreen fabric out of plastic bottles. After long development, we
succeeded to make this fabric also M1 fire retardant, which is unique.
This fabric is available in 2,5m and 3,2m width in a 3% openness factor, which makes
the product highly demanded into the worldwide market. Furthermore we don’t
choose for the standard colour pattern, but we looked with designers towards the
trends of the future and developed 8 stylish colours.
You will understand that Copaco® is leading the business, by being innovative and
trendsetter, by these ecological trendy products.
Already on the R&T show visitors thought this was one of the best products on the
show, and now we are ready to launch the product in the market.

and brighter.
The yarn diameter of the Bellavista® fabric is
generally smaller compared to our traditional
insectscreens, which results in a better view
and allows more light transmittance and air-
flow. Although the visibility is improved, the
fabric doesn’t loose his core function, meaning
protection against insects. With the Bellavista®
insect screen, Copaco® brings insect protec-
tion towards a higher dimension. The aim has
always been to combine an open screen with
a good visibility and airflow, to enjoy your
beautiful garden and to be as closed as possible
to protect against the nasty insects.
The fabric can be used in fixed windows and
doors, as well as in roller insectscreens, which
makes the fabric multifunctional.
Bellavista® is undoubtly the best choice.

Copaco® hits
TOP colours Architects’ Selection
Sales results 3,20 m
Keep your screens clean
Within the complete sunscreen range, Copaco®
also launched worldwide a few new and innova-
tive colours under the brand ‘Architects’ Selection’.
In the exterior sunscreens, the 6 new colours have
been well accepted. This is the proof that the market
was demanding for something new. Copaco® sets
the new standard.
Also for the interior blinds, the new Deco N203
colours are very popular. The biggest hit however
are the new bicoloured fabrics.
All these new colours proof that Copaco® follows
the trends in exterior and interior design, and
adapts his fabrics towards the newest trends.
We will continue as trendsetter, already started
with our new concept Small Batch “colours with
a passion” .
Since the beginning of 2012, Copaco® introduced the
largest glassfibre screen in the world. There is been
a huge interest in making larger blinds and avoiding
the welding seam in the middle of the blind. Also
cutting losses can be reduced by 8 % throughout
optimalisation in all our available widths. Copaco®
helps the customers to be more efficient. Every
month our sales are growing, based on this novelty.

The Cleanscreen product is a real hit. For a few
years already, customers were asking us how exte-
rior sunscreens can be cleaned in an efficient way,
because most of the time, just soapy water was not
enough to give the sunscreen his original colour
back.

Since the very beginning, a team of experi-
enced people in the world of fabrics has pro-
moted and consolidated Screen Protectors®
in Spain and Portugal as the current market
leader.
During these 15 years, there has been a great
evolution in sun protection fabrics. In the
beginning, screens were mainly used as sun
protection in offices while now, screens are
gaining importance as an artistic & design
element and are used in many applications like
hotels, hospitals, houses …

BBSa fair
Over 60 exhibitors were displaying and
demonstrating the best and most innovative
products on the market. From hardware and
systems, to fabrics and materials, from compo-
nents to complete products and not forgetting
machinery, software and everything else you
need to run your business effectively. Copaco®
Screenweavers took its chance again to
participate in this wonderful organised event.
You could find us in booth 13.
The last few years have been an extremely
innovative period of development for many
blind and shutter companies. The increasing
recognition by architects, engineers, property
owners and users that solar shading is an effec-
tive way of reducing energy use in both new
and refurbished buildings has led to further
developments in this field. Increasing legisla-
tion, regulation and energy costs mean we
all have to consider what we can do to reduce
energy consumption and blinds and shutters
have an increasing role to play.
Copaco® Screenweavers plays every year a
more important role in the UK market , as we
meet all requirements from the customers in
the UK : bigger widths, more decorative colours
and special designs.
The show was a great success for us and we’d
like to thank the organisation. See you again in
Coventry on the next BBSA showcase!!
From Sunday 7th October to Tuesday 9th October 2012 the BBSA showcase was held again in the
Ricoh Arena in Coventry. The British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) Showcase event is the
most important exhibition dedicated to the blind and shutter industry in the UK.

Serving more than 400 customers, Screen
Protectors® has, during 15 years, proven to be

Intellectual wellness
The first trend has been given the name ‘Intellec-
tual Wellness’. Where man previously opted for
products based on functionality and pecuniary
value, you see now that sensory values such as
touch, smell, taste and sound are important. The
man would like to be surprised and seduced. This
comes back in the designs of a new generation
of designers using innovative materials that are
imperfect and in addition possess unique and
surprising textures, such as felt, weathered cop-
per, fine porcelain and lime paint. Colours that fit
are petroleum blue, warm sand, postman blue,
off-white and mauve.
Intellectual Wellness by Copaco®: Shantung
and Bicolors
Newborn Heritage
The second trend is called ‘Newborn Heritage’. As
a reaction to globalisation it creates a connection
to the traditional and handmade. New buildings,
furniture and other products exist nowadays
often from a mix of historic, traditional, innova-
tive and modern elements. For example, consider
the use of nostalgic and authentic materials such
as suede, leather, dark wood, velvet and ceramics.
The colours wine red, mustard yellow, purple
blue, mint green and beige tones together form
a classic but modern palette.

HOROSCOPE
Personal Impulse
‘Personal Impulse’ is the third trend. Every human
being is unique. This comes back in the contempo-
rary choice for expressive and personal products
where formerly mass products were in vogue.
Many modern buildings and their interiors tell a
personal story. Through the use of striking colours,
shapes and materials the environment has its own
identity. The market is currently an unpreceden ted
variety of mosaic tiles, papered, carpets and inte-
rior materials (in a variety of prints and colours) so
that every man can express his or her unique style.
Beautiful (accent) colors that underline this are
bright orange red, light bluish grey, dark brown,
grey shades and warm orange.
Personal Impulse by Copaco®: Screen Bordado
and Small Batch
Mundane Surprise
The fourth trend is called ‘Mundane Surprise’. In
response to the economic crisis, a countermove-
ment is created which is spontaneous, positive
and sustainable. To escape the flow of negative
messages, we like to surround ourselves with
cheerful and honest things. This translates into
new humorous, naive and playful designs. See
the funny and surprising elements in our living
environment such as wall stickers or murals, art,
oversized furniture and graphic prints. Colours
associated with this are black white, bright red,
hard yellow and cobalt blue.
Mundane Surprise by Copaco®: Impress
Human Tech
The fifth trend, finally, was baptized ‘Human Tech’.
Our life is now overloaded with digital informa-
tion, products and technology. This creates a need
for peace and space in our homes, and the need
to be together with friends and family. The latest
technologies are wireless, smart and invisible
integrated into products. This makes our environ-
ment in the future spatial, open and friendly. You
see this trend in the use of extremely innovative
materials for clothing and interior. But also in the
latest furniture, interior products and materials
such as carbon, foam, ceramics, soft touch-plastic.
Colours that fit these neutral shades, are matte
black, bright red, various greens and white high
gloss.
