Characteristics of fabrics used in awnings

As a result of the awning rolling process, waves may appear at the seams of the fabric strips and in the central part of the cover, where the fabric is double-layered. In some cases, they take the form of a delicate herringbone pattern..

When folding and unfolding the awning, the fabric may stretch in the area of the seams, where it is double thickness. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable in cassette and semi-cassette models. However, it does not adversely affect the durability or structure of the fabric – it is a natural result of the manufacturing process.

Awnings should not be used during rainfall or exposed to accidental moisture. Rolling up damp fabric may damage it, cause permanent creases and lead to mould growth – effects that are not covered by warranty. If the fabric gets wet, unroll the awning as soon as possible and leave it to dry completely.

The characteristics of awning fabrics described above are intended to give you an idea of the natural properties of the materials used in our products. Minor creases, ripples or changes in structure around the seams are an integral part of the manufacturing process and use of awnings. Thanks to high-quality materials and precise workmanship, the awnings we offer retain their durability, functionality and aesthetics for many years. We recommend following the instructions for use and care of the fabrics, which will allow you to enjoy their full properties for many seasons.
