Compared to a 100% monofilament shade cloth, Polyfab Xtra’s monofilament and tape construction casts much darker shade and offers greater sun protection.
Shade Cloth Construction Matters When it Comes to Sun Protection
A monofilament shade cloth is a strong and durable netting that offers some shade without blocking out all light or air circulation.
A monofilament and tape shade cloth, like Polyfab Xtra weaves a thicker yarn tape through the gaps of a monofilament shade cloth, blocking out considerably more light, UV rays and heat.
Our darkest Polyfab Xtra colours block 99.8% of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays.
Monofilament and Tape is an All-weather Solution
A tightly knitted shade fabric, like Polyfab Xtra, promotes exceptional water run-off, making it the perfect ‘all-weather’ solution when installed over spaces that are used year-round, like basketball courts and courtyards.
In warmer months, Polyfab Xtra helps keep your staff and students cooler. In cooler months, when installed over hip-and-ridge structures, the tightly knitted Polyfab Xtra shade cloth promotes water run-off to keep the area drier
Stronger Against Vandalism
Developed using premium raw materials, our tightly knitted Polyfab Xtra shade cloth has extremely high physical strength for large shade structures and is stronger against vandalism. Polyfab Xtra is supported by a 15-year warranty, for ultimate peace of mind
