1. A method for producing a metalized fabric, the method comprising:
providing a first thread having a first affinity for metallization;
providing a second thread having a second affinity for metallization, said second affinity being greater than said first affinity;
weaving said first thread and said second thread into a fabric using an unbalanced weave with more of said first thread on a first side and more of said second thread on an opposing second side; and
metalizing said fabric so that said first thread and said second thread are both metalized to different amounts.
