Cosiflor® fabrics have ratings to indicate the percentage of light that is reflected by the blind ®,  absorbed by the blind (A) or transmitted through the blind (T).

The ratings vary widely from fabric to fabric.  They can be helpful when choosing blinds for specific purposes.  For example, in an office there may be a requirement to reduce the glare from a window onto a computer screen, or darkening a room without completely blocking out the light.

Although these ratings relate to light, they are also indicators of heat transmitted through the blind, as light converts to energy.
