Markilux awning fabrics - Swela Sunsilk & Ultrasonic Bonding

Swela Sunsilk SNC
Welcome sunshine!
A result of three years in research and development, Swela Sunsilk SNC (Swela Nano Clean) is a milestone in external textile development. This silky high-tech polyester based fabric provides a self-cleaning "finish" that enables the fabric cover to permanently repel dirt, grease, oil and water, which not only ensures its long lasting radiant colour but also a low maintenance awning for life.

Markilux Ultrasonic Bonding
Increased use of motorisation in awning systems has placed higher stress levels on fabric covers through increased rates of operation. In the case of sewn fabric covers this can result in weakened seams that can eventually wear. To counter this issue, Markilux has pioneered ultrasonic adhesive bonding, an adhesive to bond fabric covers. This new high-compression technology utilises a highly concentrated surface adhesive to join the length of fabric covers, replacing the need for double stitched seams.
