All awnings are fully guaranteed against faulty materials or workmanship, according to the following schedule:

Care of Fabric:
Fabric should be cleaned every 3 months, using a sponge and plain water. If the fabric will not clean with plain water, you can use a watered down mild detergent. Do not use solvents. Always dry out the awning skin when rolling it away for long periods. It is accepted that it is sometimes unavoidable to roll away when wet, but always dry out as soon as you can. If the skin stays wet, a green film will form on the surface which may become difficult to remove. Always ensure that fabric rolls off the TOP of the roller. Otherwise fabric may torn, or may puddle with water and stretch.

Acrylic fabric is guaranteed for at least 5 years full replacement, subject to care procedures being followed.
