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.
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 characteristics of awning fab-
i
rics
We exclusive use high-quality polyester and
acrylic fabrics for our awnings.
The polyester fabric is made from short fib-
re. The yarn of the acrylic fabric is dyed with
spinnerets.
By refining the surface it is ensured that the
fabric is water and dirt-repellent and pre-
vents mould from forming.

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:
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. Wa-
viness may also occur if water has collected
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).
Waterproof / rain-proof properties
Polyester cloths are impregnated with a
water-repellant finish and remain rain-pro-
of during short, light showers with regular
maintenance and a minimum tilt angle of
15°.
The awning must not be opened or retrac-
ted during prolonged and/or heavy rainfall
to prevent damage. If the cloth has become
wet, the awning must be extracted to dry to
prevent mould stains.
