Difference and description of fabrics
STANDARD FABRIC – for seasonal use
The fibers are obtained from natural sources (plants and animals) and then processed into textiles for various purposes. Gray fabric - is created by leaving a coarser fiber during processing and then this fabric undergoes hydrophobic (against water) and fungicidal (against mold) treatment. Whether the fabric strength is 300g / m2 to 600g / m2, they are natural fabrics and their durability is adapted to the frequency and length of use, which results in thinning and wear of the fabrics. To protect the fabric drying of the tent is recommended and then restoring impregnation. The rule here is that the thicker the fabric, the longer it will last, and conversely, the thicker the material, the longer it has to dry. Therefore, to prevent the formation of mold, the fabric must be completely dry in the case it got exposed to moisture or before storing it away. And it can take much longer to dry than any polyester tent, because cotton absorbs water.
Fabric 1.
- 300g / m2 - the fabric is used for summer short-term camping, tents made of this fabric are light and allow easier transport.
- 100% cotton in a gray design (natural white color), provided with a hydrophobic treatment (against water) and a fungicidal treatment (against mold).
- Due to their characteristics, tents made of pure cotton are more prone to the formation of mold, because they absorb far more moisture than mixed or polyester fabrics, which is why these fabrics are suitable for summer use on sunny days at the camp.
- For these fabrics, impregnation treatment is required about once every 1-2 years.
- expected life span 4-5 years depending on use.
- Color: natural white (gray).
Fabric 2.
- 420g / m2 - fabric suitable for long-term summer use.
- 50% cotton and 50% polyester in gray (natural white color), provided with a hydrophobic treatment (against water) and a fungicidal treatment (against mold).
- Poly-cotton is a hybrid between synthetic polyester and cotton. In essence, it is a blend of cotton and polyester fibers, and this combination makes the fabric more resistant to mold than pure cotton fabric. Polyester also helps reduce the risk of large cracks.
- For these fabrics, impregnation treatment is required about once every 2 years.
- Expected life span 5-6 years depending on use.
- Color: natural white (gray).
Fabrics for year-round use
We also offer fabrics for year-round use, which we import. These fabrics are among the high quality, very strong, durable and verified fabrics, and therefore suitable for those customers who want true quality and durability. The fibers are formed from melts and are technically modified for the given purposes. Due to their composition, such fabrics do not shrink to such an extent and are more abrasion resistant than cotton. The big advantage is that they are not moldy and are almost or completely waterproof. Many people have a hard time remembering that polyester as a tenting material is something barbaric against ethics. Times are changing and inorganic polyester fibers have gained in quality and offer better conditions of use than cotton and are often unrecognizable from cotton. Unlike cotton, however, they do not shrink, dry faster, smell less after the fire has started, and certainly do not melt, as some people mistakenly believe.
Fabric 3.
- 440g / m2 - fabric ideal for permanent, year-round use.
- 100% polyester fabric (PES) from a 50% textile weave, which has a 50% PVC coating with a water-repellent finish (W / R) applied on the outside (back). This fabric definitely does not have a natural look, but is characterized by high resistance to weather conditions, as well as the sunlight. It is a very durable and quick-drying, strong fabric, the best properties of which include resistance to moisture. Due to it‘s composition, this fabric does not absorb any moisture, does not mold and, most importantly, does not need to be impregnated. The fabric is maintenance-free and in recent years the most in demand for its properties - we have been using it successfully for several years.
- No impregnation is required for these fabrics.
- Expected life span 6-8 years with year-round use.
- Color: A) white, B) cream
Fabric 4.
- 390g / m2 - great fabric for permanent, year-round use.
- PES (Polyethersulfone) one of the leading solution and UV stabilized PES fabrics on the market. The surface of the fabric has the structure of a textile fabric and is treated on the inside with an acrylic coating with integrated special PVA fibers improving the breathability of the material. This fabric is very pleasant to the touch and has a mold-repellent finish, has a high water resistance, repels dirt and oil, and is permanently resistant to seawater and climate. We recommend this material to customers with the highest demands. It is an ideal material for permanent year-round use.
- Very high tear / tear resistance.
- For these fabrics, impregnation treatment is required about once every 3 years.
- Expected life span 6-8 years with year-round use.
- Color: A) white, B) light beige, C) beige, D) dark beige.
Weight of the fabrics
Fabric weight means how many grams does it weight per square meter (g/1 m2)
- The fabric weight is determined by their production, the number of threads and the density of the threads. This also has an impact on the abrasion resistance of the fabric during its use and also on the so-called "water column" which its value provides information about the water-tightness of the fabric, which is gradually damaged by friction. Moisture, snow and high temperature deviations have the greatest influence on the damage of the fabric structure, thus it accelerates the reduction of their durability.
- Mostly,the thicker the material, the stronger and more durable the tent. Decisive, however, are the composition of the
- fabric and the density of the warp and weft yarns used in production. Every manufacturer has different standards.
