Sunlux Collection®

Sunlux® Collection

Sunlux® is Vertilux’s newest fabric collection for awning applications. Featuring a large selection of fabrics, Sunlux® is made with the highest quality acrylic fibers. Utilizing a mass dyeing and wet spinning process, the colored pigments saturate the polymer solution before the fiber is formed, thereby obtaining excellent resistance and performance under extreme weather conditions. Additionally, Sunlux® is resistant to the effects of microorganisms and it has a high resistance to wear and tear. Sunlux® fabrics also provide a high degree of comfort and protection against UV radiation.

UV SOLAR PROTECTION

Sunlux® fabrics offer the best solution for solar protection. Using these fabrics for awnings and other related applications results in a series of reduction coefficients that translate into energy savings, while preserving visual comfort and cooling luminosity.

Sunlux® fabrics also provide protection from ultraviolet radiation by dispersing, absorbing and reflecting the UV rays, thereby preventing them from passing through the fabric and having direct contact with the skin. The UV protection is progressively higher or lower depending on the intensity of the colors. In association with AITEX (Textile Industry Research Association - Europe) and the Association of Tests for the Applied Protection of Ultraviolet (UV) Rays, Vertilux, Ltd. has conducted tests to determine the performance of Sunlux® fabrics when exposed to UV radiation in their original form. The different designs of the Sunlux® Collection subsequently undergo a number of treatments resembling their traditional uses and aging processes. The results of these tests provide protection (UV) factors expressed in values – the higher the number, the greater the protection.

SPRAY TEST

In compliance with the ISO 4920 Standard, all Sunlux® fabrics distributed by Vertilux undergo a SPRAY TEST. The purpose of this test is to determine the fabric’s resistance and behavior in wet or humid surroundings. During this test, the fabric is exposed to “artificial rain”, after which its effects on the fabric are determined. The result obtained is assessed on a scale ranging from 0 to 100. Sunlux® fabrics have outstanding hydrophobicity, which is why the awnings dry quickly and dust accumulation is prevented.

DIRT PREVENTION

Sunlux® fabrics are very easy to clean, given that a primer coat is applied during the fabric finishing process, which possesses unparalleled dirt-repellent and contamination-prevention qualities. In addition to eliminating dirt, the primer improves the appearance of the fabric, facilitates its maintenance and offers better protection against atmospheric phenomena, such as heavy rain.

EASY CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

The better the fabric is cared for, the longer it will be able to maintain its luster.

We recommend 5 basic maintenance tips:

Eliminate dirt regularly by gently brushing or vacuuming the fabric.
From time to time, use a solution of neutral soap and water (at a temperature of not more than 86°F).
Apply to the fabric and then rinse off with abundant water.
Let the fabric dry completely outdoors.
Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
Store the awning in a cover during the winter.

Polyscreen Vision®

As one of the leading manufacturers in the world of screen fabrics, our Polyscreen Vision has been setting the trend of high end technical fabrics in the window covering industry. Since the very beginning our fabrics have been able to withstand the rigors of outdoor use, and for the Sunlux line we have chosen those that have sufficiently passed every test for exterior applications; tensile strength, tensile elongation, flexural strength and abrasion ressitance. These are important factors to take into account as most of the outdoor systems will put the fabrics under a reasonable amount of tension.

An excellent ressistance to color degradation is backed by a 5 year warranty, and all of our fabrics are easily weldable and/or sewable, and a high resistance to chemicals such as acids, alkalies or solvents make it a washable and easy to clena fabric

Futhermore our Polyscreen Vision is FR under the world’s most strict regulations, and completely Phtalate free, making it and ideal product for any kind project.
