Light Reflective Values A light reflective value (LRV) describes the amount of light a surface reflects, defining the lightness or darkness of a colour on a scale of 0 to 99, with the higher the number, the lighter the colour. By measuring the difference between LRV's, visual contrast between surfaces can be measured. Visual contrast enables people with impaired vision to gather information about an environment, increasing confidence and independence. In recognition of this, building regulations and standards have been introduced. BS8300:2001 recommends that the minimum contrast between surfaces should be at least 20 points, although 30 points is preferred. Approved Document Part M (2004) suggests that the difference in LRV between adjacent surfaces should be at least 30 points for sufficient visual contrast to be achieved. LRV's are quoted on the kitchen ranges, handles and worktops featured on the Howdens website wherever we have been able to provide an accurate result. |
