Limits of the manufacturing technology

Material with character

Creases and folds

Fine creases can occur during cutting and winding. They are particularly visible against the light when light colours are used. These creases have no effect on the function or durability, they are a normal side effect of the material.

Waviness in the seam area

Awning fabrics consist of several panels that are carefully sewn together. When rolled up, the top layer of fabric covers a slightly longer distance than the bottom layer, which can cause a slight ripple to form along the seams.
This is technically unavoidable and has no effect on the tension or service life of the fabric.

Honeycomb formation

Awning fabrics are sewn in the outward direction so that the tensile stress acts on the warp threads, which are woven more densely than the weft threads.

Depending on the weather conditions and fabric size, this creates a honeycomb effect. In unfavourable light or wet conditions - especially if the fabric has been run in wet - this effect is more pronounced.

The inclination of the fabric should be at least 14° so that rainwater can run off easily. This also prevents the formation of water pockets or dirt streaks.

The honeycomb formation can extend to the centre of the fabric, but has no influence on the quality, function or service life of the fabric.

Visible fabric edges with blended yarns

The modern blended yarns in our collections create lively colour effects with light and dark threads.
This creates subtle colour nuances at the interfaces between the yarns. This is not a fault, but unavoidable with blended yarns, but only becomes apparent on closer inspection.
