Style Group, the UK-based manufacturer of blinds, recently announced the launch of a new line of textiles designed to combat COVID-19. The series can be used in homes, businesses, and hotels and leverages 'Antivaltex' (a type of fabric that kills corona type viruses on contact) and 'Aircleantex' (a fabric that transforms ultraviolet light and purifies the air). Both fabric technologies have been proven to eliminate both coronaviruses and the flu virus.
Brooks Hayward, Director of Global Business Development at Style Group: "It important that as leading manufacturers of window covers, we are providing a solution that enables our customers to sell innovative, life-enhancing products. The introduction of Antiviraltex and Aircleantex into all types of fabric materials for hotels, offices, and homes, will give customers peace of mind when selling our products, that puts the consumer and their health, front of mind".
