The Inquiry
Email excerpt from Martí Designs :
"We're restoring 19th-century windows in Eixample district. Need roller blinds fabric that:
Passes heritage council approval
Reduces interior heat by ≥60%
Installs without drilling (stone frames)
Traditional blackout fabrics rejected. Can LEAPKA help?"
Technical Assessment
Our engineering team identified three hurdles:
Non-Invasive Mounting: Existing frames couldn't support >400g/m² fabric
Aesthetic Compliance: Required exact color match to original stained glass
Micro-Climate: Sea air accelerated material degradation
The Solution: F2001 White
Phase 1: Virtual Prototyping
Created 3D model showing 5% openness mimicking glass transparency
Simulated thermal performance (62.7% heat reduction confirmed)
Phase 2: On-Site Testing

Supplied 1,850m² pre-cut to arched window dimensions
Trained local installers in ultrasonic seaming techniques
Outcome
Client testimonial:
"After 3 failed attempts with other suppliers, LEAPKA's sunscreen fabric saved the €2.3M project. The heritage council praised how the material preserved the building's character while cutting cooling costs 41%. Most impressive? The 360g weight caused zero structural stress."
