Acrylic awning fabric (standard)
The tried and tested acrylic awning fabric is manufactured from 100% spinning nozzle dyed brand acrylic fabric. That means that the colour pigments – unlike in classic yarn dyeing – are applied during the fibre production. This ensures reliable protection against damaging UV radiation and permanently guarantees brilliant colours / constant weather and light-fastness. Furthermore, the acrylic fabric is especially tear-resistant and also dirt and water-repellent thanks to its impregnation with a special protective agent. The reliable solution for long-term outdoor use.
- Water-proof up to 300-370 mm water column, EN 20811
- High colour and weather fastness (7-8) of 8
- Water and dirt-repellent
- 100% acrylic 285–300 g/m²
- Commercial printing possible on canopy and valance
Acrylic awning fabric LUMERA
The innovative Lumera acrylic fabric is woven with the special CBA fibre (Clean Brilliant Acrylic). Along with all the benefits of the acrylic fabric, this provides even more bonuses. The acrylic multifilament fibre has a smoother and denser surface. This means that the colours turn out richer and more radiant and the fabric’s luminance is increased for a long time.
- Water-proof up to 460 mm water column, EN 20811
- High colour and weather fastness (7-8) of 8
- Water and dirt-repellent
- 100% acrylic 290 g/m²
- Commercial printing possible on canopy and valance
Swela Sunvas Uni
This 100% polyester fabric has an innovative and effective dirt and water-repellent SNC impregnation. This makes the fabric air-permeable, weather-proof and resistant to rooting. The fabric also has a high elasticity without permanent stretching. It is therefore optimally suited for outdoor use.
- Water-proof up to 350 mm water column, EN 20811
- High light and weather fastness (7-8) of 8
- Chlorine fastness (4-5) of 5
- Polyester mesh with SNC impregnation

You can find over 200 RAL colours here.
Smooth crank winch

Scala opens and closes effortlessly with the smooth crank winch. Self-locking holds the parasol in any position. As an option this cantilever parasol can also be operated by our WMS motor.
Stainless steel rotary base

Sophisticated mechanism: The rotary foot made of stainless steel, rotatable by 360°, is screwed directly onto the ground sleeve or the parasol base. The rotating function is conveniently unlocked by pressing on the pedal. When the pedal is released, the mechanism engages and holds the parasol in position.
Sustainable construction

Scala is made of high-grade aluminium components. Its frame is therefore durable and wind-stable and can be powder-coated in any RAL colour.
Space-saving

Thanks to its elegant design, the Scala canopy closes directly on the pole and does not interfere with patio or garden furniture.
