Soltis Proof W88 - a waterproof, lightweight and translucent fabric

New consumer trends and the effects of the health crisis have made home furnishings a major issue. The pergola, once a simple “outbuilding,” has become an extension of the house, a full-fledged living space that allows you to enjoy outdoor living at the house in all weathers.

It is an extra room, for cozy dining or for extra relaxation and rest, contributing to the value of the house as a whole, provided the temperature is pleasant.

The hospitality industry has also picked up the phenomenon. Some players have doubled or tripled their number of seats thanks to the development of this new application.

To protect this new living space, Soltis Proof W88 is an innovative solution that combines high light transmission with total impermeability to bad weather. It is both thin and light, and its design allows it to take up very little space, especially for retractable and roll-up roofs. Therefore, the Soltis Proof W88 is perfect for outdoor structures such as pergolas, zip-up retractable canopies or velums. This versatility in use makes it suitable for both professional and private users.

The structure of Soltis Proof W88 is based on Précontraint® technology, a patented manufacturing process that gives the fabric unique properties:

• superior resistance to stretching and tearing;
• No distortion during installation and use;
• Superior aesthetic and mechanical durability;
• A smooth surface that is easy to clean.

Unlike standard fabrics that simply apply a film over the fabric, Soltis Proof W88 has a fully translucent coating applied directly during the manufacturing process. This eliminates the risk of delamination, i.e., the degradation of the membrane, and greatly extends its lifespan.

In addition to its mechanical and technical properties, Soltis Proof W88, thanks to its regular fabric, allows a maximum amount of natural light to reach the terrace in a homogeneous manner. It allows up to 21% of light to pass through, while being UV resistant, regardless of the desired color.

A subtle combination of technical performance and creative design, the Soltis Proof W88 creates a cozy atmosphere with a warm feel.

It has everything to entice its audience, who will be able to enjoy it from its launch in March 2022.
