Semi-transparent, heat-reflecting, air-permeable, waterproof or flame-retardant awning covers for special requirements.
The sunvas fabric with special perforation technology stands for pleasant transparency as well as good light and air permeability. We recommend transolair for markilux shadeplus, side awnings as well as for window and glass roof awnings.
The perforated awning fabric allows a view of the outdoors while at the same time providing protection from the outside.
It ensures air exchange between the fabric and the glass.
Accumulated heat is reduced.
The formation of water pockets is minimised.
The flame retardant and waterproof sunvas fabric with transparent fabric underside should be used wherever special fire regulations have to be complied with, protection against rain is required and a decorative effect is needed.

Woven-in reed gaps make the sunsilk fabric permeable to water and air. The risk of water pockets forming in rain and stagnant heat in strong sunlight is reduced. The aluminium coating of the 332 ... series further reduces heat radiation. The weather-resistant finish also provides "protection against dirt" and ensures excellent water repellency.

How do creases occur?
Creases occur when the awning fabric is made up and folded. At the folded point, a dark line may be visible against the light, especially with light colours, which is caused by the folding of the fibre (light refraction).
Waviness in the seam and web area.
This can occur along the side hems, in the area of the seams and in the middle of the panels. The fabric is doubled at the seams. This results in different roll-up diameters. The tension created by the articulated arms, the tensioning system, the sagging of the winding shaft and/or the delivery profile can favour these effects. Ripples can also form if a "water pocket" has formed during a heavy rain.
How rain-resistant is my awning fabric?
Awning fabrics are impregnated with a water repellent finish and will remain rain resistant during a short period of light rainfall when used according to the manufacturer's instructions and at an angle of inclination of at least 14°. During prolonged periods of wetness and/or heavy rainfall, the awning must remain closed or retracted to prevent damage. Once the fabric has become wet, the awning must be extended again to dry immediately after the rain to avoid mildew stains.
What are side seams?
The fabric is usually kept under almost permanent tension by an active spring system. Seams and hems act as reinforcements, but must also withstand the greatest stress. When the fabric is rolled up, the hems and seams lie on top of each other, which increases pressure and tension even more. This puts them under extra stress and stretches them. This can cause the side seams to hang down slightly when the awning is extended.
How do I care for my awning fabric properly?
Dust can be removed with a soft brush when dry. Leaves and similar soiling should be removed immediately. Small stains should be removed with water and a commercially available, preferably liquid, mild detergent (5 percent soap solution, water temperature max. 30 °C). Rinse thoroughly with water.Detailed instructions with all important instructions for operation, care and maintenance are enclosed with every awning delivery.
