Fabric options

Each fabric has its merits and limitations, and which one is chosen is often a compromise.

Clearglass PVC: This is very popular, because it provides best visibility. Unfortunately there are limitations which must be understood.

• The fabric is not reinforced, and if it starts to tear, the tear will continue. To overcome this, we often weld a reinforced PVC border to it, but this is labour intensive, and adds to cost
• The fabric has a high shrinkaqe rate. For this reason, we avoid using Zips and eyelets on the sides, as they may no longer fit after a period of time. The shrinkage can also result in side wrinkles. No warranty is offered on shrinkage
• It does not retain 100% clarity for very long, scratches easily, and becomes milky looking when waterlogged
• Tends to stretch out of shape, and often rolls crooked, and tends to stick to itself when rolled

Mesh PVC: These are a compromise, as they do not provide 100% weather protection, or 100% visibility. We have found that mesh DOES provide better protection and visibility than generally envisaged. We only used reinforced PVC mesh, which is excellent for durability, and does not shrink. There is a perceived lack of visibility with PVC mesh, but check out our photos and the fabrics in our showroom.  The benefits outweigh the small loss of visibility.  There are a variety of  colours, brands, and mesh sizes. Shadeview PVC mesh comes with a 10 year warranty.

Waterproof PVC – Ferrari Soltis W96: We have recently introduced the quality range of Ferrari Soltis W96 waterproof PVC mesh, which gives both waterproof and privacy. The Soltis W96 range protects against UV and bad weather, while preserving the level of natural light transmitted. Depending on colour light transmission is between 3 and 17% (lighter  colours have more light transmission.  There is only a small range of colours available in this range.  Ferrari Soltis W96 comes with a 10 year warranty.
