This warranty does not cover:
- Imperfections such as mottling, waffling, folds, etc. due to handling during preparation of the
awning or its installation – see further details below
- Defects due to the aging and normal wear of the fabric
- The consequences of the conditions of installation, the environment or the use not
corresponding to the normal conditions of use for the fabric
- The repair of damage or defects in the fabric resulting from accidents or negligence resulting
from force majeure.
Expressly excluded in particular is any deterioration due to:
- Faulty maintenance or the use of unsuitable products or instruments: no detergent, chemical
product or solvent can be used, nor any scraper or other instrument that may damage the
surface
- Lightning or other unusual weather conditions
- Atmospheric or phytosanitary pollution
- Soiling caused by animals
- Faulty assembly or handling by the user, the projection of various products, hanging objects on
the fabric, falling objects, bumps, road accidents, vandalism, burns from cigarettes or other
sources or fire.
Common irregularities in Acrylic awning fabrics
The following small irregularities in your fabric are normal and nothing to worry about.
The nature of the fabric is that, regardless of all the attention that is paid during manufacturing
and preparation, you might note some natural "imperfections" after your awning is installed.
Veining
Subsequent to handling during fabrication and assembly, acrylic fabrics treated with resins
containing fluoride may show “veining” visible against the sunlight caused by an optical effect
(differences in the refractions of light).
White Lines or Folds
Subsequent to handling during fabrication and assembly, acrylic fabrics treated with resins
containing fluoride may show small white traces that appear on the fabric due to the stiffness
that is caused by the fluoride treatment. These lines are particularly visible in light fabrics as they
are held up against the light.
Waviness / Waffel building or OR Corrugation in the seam / weld area
As the fabric rolls up along the roller tube on the awning the seams will roll up with more
accumulated material than the areas surrounding it. This difference in thickness may cause the
fabric to wrinkle slightly around the seams. This may affect one seam but not the seam next to it.
Stretching of the side hems
The fabric is usually kept permanently taut using an active spring system. Seams and hems
have a reinforcing effect but must also take most strain and withstand extremely high loads.
When the fabric is rolled up the hems and seams lay on top of one another, this increases the
pressure and tension even more. Seams and hems are pressed flat and increase in length.
When the awning is extended out this can lead to the side hems becoming wavy and hanging
down slightly.
