Heathrow Airport

Terminal 4, the second largest terminal at Heathrow airport in London with 14.2 million passengers a year and dedicated to long and medium haul flights, was recently  totally refurbished with, in particular, a new glass extension. It uses one of the most advanced solutions for solar protection thanks to collaboration between Mermet and Levolux.   

The addition of a glass wall 180 metres long adding 25 metres to the depth of Terminal 4 created a more spacious, lighter and more modern check-in area for the greater enjoyment of the passengers.

The Screen Vision SV 10% fabric in coated glass fibre was chosen from the Mermet® collection for its unique technical characteristics:

• very good transparency and maximum supply of natural light thanks to the basket weave 2X2 pattern, the 10% openness factor and the selected colour (3001 Charcoal Grey),
• perfect glare control with 90% of light rays filtered and reduction in the fading effects of the sun by blocking up to 90% of UV light,
• high mechanical resistance ensuring stability and performance over time.

Thanks to Mermet and Levolux, Heathrow Airport Terminal 4 has been revitalized with its new airy and bright space (£200 million of renovation work)… for a new take-off experience in comfort and safety!
