The sun sails from the Maanta catalog are available in 4 different fabrics. The entry-level Easy Shade Sails are made in the waterproof version with a 160 gram PU double-coated polyester while the shading elements are made with a 180 gram high density virgin polyethylene (HDPE). The sails made in Italy Saill and SolariA are instead made with Purishade® polypropylene in the waterproof version and with a very sturdy 320 grams HDPE in the breathable version. Let's find out the characteristics and advantages of the 4 fabrics together! A 160g polyester fabric with double PU coating. Thanks to some technical features and sealed seams, it offers good waterproofing and tension. It is certainly a reliable fabric for the entry level range, which performs its rain protection functions well. An environmentally friendly fabric, made of highly ecological polypropylene and suitable for recycling. It combines excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength, tensile strength) with a great balance between impermeability (500mm water column) and breathability: this helps us to have an excellent exchange of air useful for perceiving a much lower temperature during the summer (37% heat reduction). The persistence of color is fantastic over time and evidenced by the result of laboratory tests (7/8 ISO 105B02). The 180 gram woven virgin polyethylene is a reliable and functional entry level fabric. It has excellent wind resistance and thanks to its woven mesh it allows the outflow of heat upwards, creating cool areas protected from UV rays. Particularly suitable for bathing establishments or covering car parks. Our Meshnet 320g is an extremely robust woven virgin polyethylene. Thanks to this feature, it is able to form a heat shield that allows for fresh shading of all external areas: it lets the heat pass upwards and keeps the environment under the roof ventilated. Again, thanks to its dense mesh, it also allows 40% of the water that will fall onto the cover to flow out!Our shade sail fabrics: characteristics and strengths
