Problem: Woven fabric awnings may lose their water repellency without a periodic chemical treatment, and woven fabrics that require stretch factoring and heat seal seam tape mean longer assembly times and higher labor costs.
Solution: Herculite® Natura™ awning fabric is a revolutionary new, dimensionally stable, vinyl composite featuring the look and feel of woven fabric on both sides. It is completely waterproof and both dielectrically and wedge weld sealable without the use of seam tape. This high-performance, fire-resistant textile has an eight-year warranty and is well suited for commercial and residential awnings designed to protect from UV rays and provide a natural fabric design element.
