At Sauleda we have checked the durability of the fabric and therefore we can provide a guarantee policy for our customers. We offer up to five years of warranty in case of normal exposure to the sun and atmospheric agents.(Consult conditions)
The warranty covers abnormal deterioration of the fibre and colour of the fabric and starts from the date of installation of the awning.
The Sauleda Protector finish applied to Sauleda fabrics repels water and dirt, making them very easy to clean and maintain year after year. This is very easy to maintain.
What is an industrial technical fabric?
Technical fabrics, by nature, offer a range of qualities that distinguish them: they are waterproof, flame retardant, water-repellent, mildew resistant, non-slip, among other attributes. They are recognized as smart fabrics because, in addition to these inherent features, manufacturers often add additional benefits to meet specific needs.
Types of technical fabrics
There are technical polyester fabrics intended for clothing, such as sports tights or thermal clothing, among others. There are also industrial technical fabrics, in which we specialize. Its ability to allow breathability can vary depending on the type of mesh. We encourage you to explore our offer in the available catalogs.
Characteristics of technical fabrics:
The technical fabrics manufactured in Sauleda have two relevant characteristics: Mechanical resistance and behaviour during use.
Mechanical strength is provided by the inner layer of the canvas, made up of a high-tenacity polyester fabric. This special fabric, made from a very strong, low-shrinkage yarn, withstands the high temperatures of the lamination process.
We use polyester yarns of various counts: the higher the count, the thicker the yarn and the stronger the fabric. Depending on the weave structure the number of threads in warp and weft direction, the article will have different mechanical strengths. The closer together the threads are and the higher the count, the greater the strength of the fabric.
On the other hand, the behaviour of the tarpaulin during use is determined by the formulation of the material (or PVC coating) that is applied on top of the polyester fabric. The most appropriate formula is selected for each type of application.
Therefore, if the canvas requires flame retardant characteristics (FR or Flame retardant), a special formula is used to obtain these properties, different from the one that would be used in a canvas that has to be used in a marine (or saline) environment, where the required properties are different.
We apply different formulas depending on the characteristics and applications of each family of articles. The production of the technical fabrics in the SAULEDA TECHNICAL catalogue consists of coating the polyester fabric with several layers of material (or PVC). The inner layers (bottom and top) are the ones that have to ensure good adhesion between the polyester fabric and the coating. The second layers (top and/or bottom) are the ones that allow you to give more thickness to the item so that it has a flatter and more uniform finish. It is possible to apply a last layer of lacquer, on one or both sides of the article, to facilitate cleaning and give it extra protection against external phenomena.
Sauleda has different lacquer formulas available, so we can offer finishes that repel dirt (PVDF finishes), finishes suitable for printing, matt finishes, finishes with a metallic effect, etc. In addition, we offer the possibility of engraving the surface of the canvas with different textures, giving rise to the finishes PORT, TREND or PORT-PRO (engraving with a square texture reminiscent of a thick fabric), CUBE (effect formed by three-dimensional cubes) and DRAFT/DRAFTEX (engraving with a textile effect).
The quality and benefits of SAULEDA TECHNICAL products are obtained thanks to the combination of all these factors, allowing us to offer our customers products that adapt to their needs and those of the market.
Applications of technical fabrics
Sauleda is one of the leading manufacturers of technical or intelligent fabrics in Spain, offering all kinds of solutions to protect outdoor structures and objects. Textile treatment is one of the techniques used in the textile industry to improve the uses and applications of industrial smart fabrics, so that they can make our lives easier.
Here are some of its applications:
