General Fabrics
Information
The fabrics contain literally millions of tiny spaces
that allow air to flow freely through. This "breathing" effect
reduces temperatures beneath by up to 32% when compared to direct
sunlight, while providing up to 98% UV protection.
The fabrics have been specifically developed to be
extremely strong and stable for use in tension shade products.
Through ongoing research our fabrics meet stringent
criteria to ensure uncompromising strength, integrity and performance in
virtually any weather extreme.
