MATERIALS & FINISHES

Textiles

With a specially-treated acrylic or polyester weave, the textiles offer excellent strength, synthesised in a fine and elegant material.

Filtering fabrics

The fibreglass filter fabrics represent the right compromise between outward visibility and privacy, thanks to a fine weave of warp and weft. They allow natural light to enter and, at the same time, shield up to 95% of UV rays.

PVC Fabrics

Characterised by robustness and impermeability, PVC fabrics are the most effective solution for protection against the elements. Choose from transparent, smoked or total-blackout versions.

Aluminium

Renewable, resistant and customisable, aluminium is the main material for pergolas and awnings, ensuring great durability.
