05 Textile, Carvart and Designtex

These sheer, glass-laminated textiles allow light to illuminate interiors without the glare.

The combination of sheer fabric and clear glass can veil spaces in color while still allowing light to pass through. Using textiles from Designtex, Carvart laminated translucent fabric between two clear, low-iron glass lites. The 05 Textile collection’s panels come in ¼”, 3/8”, and ½” thicknesses at up to 72” wide by 128” tall. They are designed for use in interior or exterior applications as partitions, surfaces, wall claddings, sliding or swing doors, and bathroom enclosures. Available in 12 colorways and eight transparencies. carvart.com
