Awning fabrics - light, robust and weather-resistant

Summery variety of colours

For our SunFurl awnings, we rely on the tried-and-tested HydroSol 270. At just 270 g/m², this fabric is exceptionally light, yet extremely robust and tear-resistant. Thanks to its hydro-finish, it offers an increased water column and thus combines all the important properties of a high-quality awning fabric - high UV resistance, weather protection and durability.

For day-care centre sails, we recommend SolMesh 340, an air-permeable mesh fabric with maximum UV protection. It provides pleasant shade and effectively prevents heat build-up - ideal for nurseries, schools and public playgrounds.

With our careful selection of materials, SunFurl sun sails offer reliable protection and a summery variety of colours for every area of use.

RAL
Powder coating

Powder coating according to RAL - perfect colour harmony for your awning system

For an aesthetic and durable finish, we offer powder coating in accordance with the RAL colour chart. This means that all metal components - such as masts, winding axles, wall panels, floor flanges and special flanges - can be perfectly matched to window frames, façade panels or slat blinds. This allows the SunFurl awning system to blend harmoniously into its surroundings.

High-quality stainless steel components such as deflection blocks, shaft bearings and connection brackets remain uncoated and set elegant accents. The powder coating not only gives the system a customised design, but also a robust, weather-resistant surface in premium quality.

The standard coating is matt (equivalent to matt/silk matt) in accordance with the RAL colour chart, but glossy, textured or special colours outside the RAL colour chart are also possible. Before coating, all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and roughened by corundum blasting to ensure optimum adhesion of the baked paint.

Ask us - we will finish your awning to create a unique highlight!

Awning fabrics from SunFurl

Frequently asked questions

What material is used to make SunFurl awnings?
SunFurl uses two fabrics for its awnings: HydroSol 270 and SolMesh 340. HydroSol 270 is a lightweight, tear-resistant material that provides effective protection against UV radiation, making it ideal for permanent outdoor use. SolMesh 340 is a specialised mesh fabric that provides UV protection as well as air permeability to prevent heat build-up under the awning. Both fabrics have been selected for their durability and resistance to environmental influences, making them ideal materials for robust and effective awnings.

What makes the HydroSol 270 awning fabric so suitable as sun protection?
HydroSol 270 is an excellent fabric for awnings that provides effective sun protection. It is UV-stabilised and has a high tear resistance, making it a durable and reliable material for SunFurl awnings.

What are the special features of the SolMesh 340 fabric for SunFurl awnings?
SolMesh 340, a specialised fabric for SunFurl awnings, offers optimum protection against UV radiation. As an air-permeable material, this fabric prevents heat build-up under the awning and is ideal for areas where both air circulation and effective sun protection are important.

What colour options does SunFurl offer for its awning fabrics?
SunFurl offers a wide range of colour options for its awning fabrics. Customers can choose from different colours and patterns to customise their sunshade and match their specific design ideas.

Which is better a light or dark-coloured awning?
The decision between a light or dark-coloured awning depends on individual needs. Light-coloured awnings may reflect more light and offer better protection against UV radiation, while dark-coloured awnings can provide more effective shade.

How long are awnings colourfast?
The colour fastness of SunFurl awnings depends on the quality of the outdoor fabric used. The HydroSol 270 and SolMesh 340 fabrics used in SunFurl awnings are known for their long-lasting lightfastness. This means that the colours of these awning fabrics remain stable over time and do not fade quickly. Thanks to their high lightfastness and quality as outdoor fabrics, the colours of SunFurl awnings remain vibrant and clear even after prolonged outdoor use.

What does the RAL powder coating for SunFurl awnings offer and why is it important?
RAL powder coating is an optional finish for SunFurl systems that enables customisation and a high-quality look. This coating allows different parts, such as poles and frames, to be designed in a variety of colours according to the RAL colour chart. This allows customers to customise their fabrics and the entire system to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and unique look that blends harmoniously into the overall appearance of their outdoor areas. This high-quality finish not only enhances the visual impact, but also provides additional protection for the materials by increasing their durability and resistance to environmental influences.

SunFurl sun sails -
High-quality workmanship from the sailmaker's workshop

SunFurl sun sails are made by experienced sailmakers - with over 50 years of expertise in yachting. In contrast to many other sun sails, which are made up like awnings or tarpaulins, SunFurl relies on professional sail design and precision craftsmanship.

Right from the development stage, each sail is constructed in a tensile-optimised beam design and then cut to the millimetre on a modern laser plotter. The workmanship is carried out in Germany by trained sailmakers who contribute their expertise from yacht sailmaking.

High-quality materials make the difference: Tenara yarn, which is resistant to all environmental influences, stable edge straps, durable stainless steel rings at the tension points and multi-layer reinforcements at force transmission points ensure maximum durability and performance.

As part of BARTELS GmbH, which has been active in the yacht sailing sector for over 50 years, SunFurl combines state-of-the-art technology with traditional craftsmanship - for awnings of genuine yachting quality. Perfect for your home and garden!

Precision in perfection - laser cutting for SunFurl awnings

SunFurl awnings are designed using state-of-the-art CAD systems to ensure optimum material utilisation and precise trajectories. Cutting is carried out using a state-of-the-art laser plotter, which cuts all components with millimetre precision. The laser cut simultaneously fuses and permanently seals the cut edges, making the sail particularly durable and resistant.

This precise and reproducible production method based on optimised CAD data guarantees maximum fitting accuracy and quality. SunFurl combines traditional sailmaking craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology - for a sun sail that sets standards in terms of function and aesthetics.

SunFurl sun sails - made like real yacht sails

SunFurl awnings are manufactured with the highest precision on classic sailmaking machines. For maximum durability and resilience, only proven processing techniques from yacht sailmaking are used: triple zig-zag stitching for panel seams, zig-zag stitching for hem seams and sophisticated edge processing.
