Consumer information

i
Care and maintenance
The awning basically does not require any
maintenance. All aluminium components are
coated with a high-quality powder coating
and all screw connections are made from
stainless steel. This protects these compo-
nents against corrosion.
We recommend cleaning the aluminium
components with a damp cloth every six
weeks.
Occasionally lubricate the joints of the
awning brackets and the fabric roller bearing
with a little silicone or Teflon spray (do not
use oil or grease).
Regularly check the brackets to ensure that
they are secure and free from wear and tear
or damage.
The awning fabric has been impregnated
with a high-quality waterproofing agent and
can therefore be used outdoors.

Product features of awning coverings
We process exclusively high-quality polyester
and acrylic fabrics in our awnings.
The polyester fabric is made out of short
fibre.
For the acrylic fabric the yarn is spun-dyed.
A refinement of the surface ensures that the
fabric contains water-repellent and dirt-re-
pellent properties as well as the prevention
of mould formation.

Important user information
Awning fabrics are high-performance pro-
ducts.
But even with today's state of technology
and environmental requirements, there is a
limit to their perfection.
They may contain certain marks in the cloth
that sometimes get complained about that
are impossible to prevent despite sophistica-
ted production and processing technology.

Such markings do not lessen the value and
usability of the awning.
To prevent irritation, we would like to point
out the following characteristics within the
scope of consumer information:
Kink folds
These folds are created through packing and
folding the sun protection cloth. In the
area of the fold, a dark line may be visible
when backlit, especially on light colours. This
is caused by the kinking of the fibre (light
diffraction) (Fig. 1).
Waviness in the area of the seam and sheet
Waviness can occur along the hemlines in
the area of the seams and in the middle of
the sheets. The cloth is doubled up at the
seams. This creates different diameters
when rolling up the fabric.
The tension created by the articulated bra-
ckets and sagging of the winding shaft and/
or front profile can increase this effect.
Waviness may also occur if water has collec-
ted during heavy rainfall (Fig. 2.3).
Elongation of the side sheets
The cloth is tensioned with an active spring
system most of the time. Although seams
and hems act as a reinforcement, they also
have to withstand the highest loads.
When rolling up the cloth, the seams and
hems are placed on top of one another,
which increases the pressure and tension.
Seams and hems are pressed flat and there-
fore increase in length. When extending the
awning, this can lead to slight sagging of the
hemlines (Fig. 4).
