UV Resistant PVC Fabric for Awnings

Technical Parameters

Material Selection Guide

The selection should be based on the required lifespan and the aesthetic requirements (color and finish) for the awning structure.

• Lifespan and Environment: For tropical or high-altitude environments (severe UV), opt for the 750GSM grade with maximum UV inhibitors.

• Aesthetic: Choose between Blockout (total light blockage) or Translucent (soft light diffusion) and select the required color from the available palette.

• Abrasion: For retractable awnings, a smooth, dirt-resistant topcoat is recommended to protect the material during rolling and storage.

Manufacturing and Tailoring

The focus is on color consistency and the uniform dispersion of critical additives.

• Pigment Dosing: High-quality, automotive-grade pigments are used at precise concentrations to ensure deep, long-lasting color fidelity.

• Dimensional Control: The base fabric is coated under controlled tension to ensure low residual stress, resulting in the desired low-stretch dimensional stability.

• Final Inspection: Every roll is inspected for surface defects and color variations to ensure a flawless final product for aesthetic applications.

Deployment FAQ

• Q: Does this fabric allow any light through for shading?

  A: Typically, awning fabrics are opaque (blockout) to provide deep shade. However, translucent versions are available if filtered, natural lighting is preferred beneath the canopy.

• Q: Is the material compatible with aluminum or steel awning frames?

  A: Yes, the fabric is structurally designed to be attached to metal framing using kedar, ropes, or tensioned bolts. The coating is chemically inert and will not corrode the frame.
