Sheer Collection

- Showrooms or display spaces where transparency is part of the design
- Lightfastness: min. 4–5
- Rub fastness: dry >4 | wet >3–4

- UV transmittance: 22–29%
- Living areas where light is welcome but needs managing around midday

- Contract spaces (hotels, restaurants) where function and visual presence need to be balanced
- Lightfastness: min. 4–5
- Rub fastness: dry >4 | wet >3–4
- Solar reflectance: 27–38%

The sample kit includes a physical fabric swatch for each color across all 8 collections (28 samples total), the 6 color finishes of the Maanta decorative plate, and the EN 14501 certified technical datasheets for each fabric.
The color of a fabric on a screen is never exactly the same as in real life. With samples, you can feel the texture, check how light filters through your window, and match the plate with your Furniture before ordering a custom-made shade. This way, you can confidently choose the perfect solution for your American outdoor space.
No, the samples are yours to keep. You can save them as a reference for future orders or to match new shades in other rooms of your home.
It depends on the room and how you plan to use it: Blackout is for total darkness (typically bedrooms). Light-filtering fabric lets in soft, diffused light while reducing glare, making it ideal for offices and bathrooms. Sheer fabric maintains maximum brightness with a touch of daytime privacy, perfect for living rooms and kitchens. Samples let you check the effect directly in your space, under your own lighting conditions—bringing Made in Italy quality and design into American homes with clarity and confidence.
The EN 14501 standard classifies the performance of solar shading fabrics. It measures light transmission, solar reflection, total solar factor (GTOT), and privacy level. Every Maanta fabric is tested and certified with verified lab data—never commercial estimates—so you can choose with confidence for your American backyard or outdoor space.
Place the sample near the window or wall where you’ll install the awning and observe it at different times of the day. Natural light changes how color is perceived: a beige may look warmer in the morning and cooler in the afternoon. We recommend evaluating it in both natural and artificial lighting conditions.
Go to the configurator directly on the website, select the fabric and color you chose from the sample collection, enter the width and height in the measurements you need, and add it to your cart. If you have any doubts about measurements or installation, contact us before proceeding: we’ll guide you step by step, so you can enjoy a perfect result in your outdoor spaces.
Yes, Maanta’s free design service is available to you. You can contact the team for personalized guidance in choosing the most suitable fabric, color, and mounting plate for your project, perfect for enhancing American backyards and outdoor spaces.
