Daylight and textiles are about more than just light admission. In this glossary, we explain key concepts that help you understand how light, materials, and room design interact – and how you can create environments with visual comfort and balance.

Textiles affect daylight in different ways depending on how they are woven. Here we explain how the classification of textiles works – and how different weaving techniques shape light flow, privacy and visual comfort in the room.
