General Fabrics Information
The fabrics contain literally millions of tiny spaces that allow air to flow freely through. This “breathing” effect reduces temperatures beneath by up to 32% when compared to direct sunlight, while providing up to 98% UV protection.
The fabrics have been specifically developed to be extremely strong and stable for use in tensioned shade products.
Through ongoing research our fabrics meet stringent criteria to ensure uncompromising strength, integrity and performance in virtually any weather extreme.
