On building exteriors, coiled wire fabric can provide sun shading, fall protec- tion, and visual facade treatments. In each of these cases, it can allow for ventilation or the controlled passage of air and light. Coiled wire fabric is manufactured by interlocking metal wire coils via a simple corkscrew method: weaving the spirals together to create a flexible metal fabric panel. Beginning with a choice of the metal material, manufacturers combine skilled craftsmen with inventive machinery to form the wire into a spiral of a specified weave Attachment systems for coiled wire fabric are typically based on frames or tracks that can size.

The fabrics represented three weaves: plain, twill and leno; and three colors: white, eggshell and turquoise. The fiber contents, according to the manufacturers, varied from 20 per- cent "Rovana ", 56 percent "Verel" and 24 percent rayon to 49. 3 "Rovana ", 30. 5 percent "Verel" and 20. 2 percent rayon. Chemical analysis revealed that all of the fabrics varied from the manufacturers' stated fiber contents. A Fade -Ometer was used to test for colorfastness to light. Although no fading was visible to the eye, the plain weave fabrics of high "Rovana" content showed the greatest color change according to a Gardner Color Difference Meter. White fabrics and broken twill weave fabrics were modified also. Washing had little effect on the colors. Shrinkage was most pronounced in the filling direction and was due chiefly to laundering. Fabrics fabricated in a broken twill weave of approximately 30 percent "Rovana" exhibited slightly more shrink- age than the four percent allowance recommended by the American Hotel Association. The remaining fabrics shrank only approximately one percent. Fabrics appeared to be most affected by 63.

    Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 DATS in partnership with the V&A 1 Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 This information pack has been produced to accompany two one-day workshops taught by Katy Wigley (Director, School of Textiles) and Mary Schoeser (Hon. V&A Senior Research Fellow), held at the V&A Clothworkers’ Centre on 19 April and 17 May 2018. The workshops are produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections and make them accessible to the widest audience. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying woven textile materials and techniques. This information pack is intended as a means of sharing the knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public and is also intended as a stand-alone guide for basic weave identification.
