Made to order in our workshop in Mouscron, the sail ACRYLIC uses the premium fabrics Sunbrella and Agora. This combination of Belgian craftsmanship and high-quality fibers guarantees you unmatched sun protection, exceptional durability, and effective shelter against passing showers.
A Superior Textile Technology:
Mass Dyed Fiber: Unlike standard fabrics, the pigment is integrated into the core of the fiber. The result: a vibrant color that never fades, even after years of exposure.
Natural Air Conditioner : This high-performance fabric blocks heat and protects your facades from overheating, while allowing air to breathe for optimal freshness.
Protection & Comfort: Filters 97% of UV rays and eliminates glare (ideal visual comfort for reading and screens).
High Performance Treatment: Water-repellent, rot-proof, stain-resistant, and mold-resistant fabric.
Commitment & Guarantees:
Resistance: Sturdy design for winds up to 60 km/h.
Serenity: 5-year guarantee on color retention and 2 years on finishes.
Eco-friendly: Textile certified free from any toxic substances for health and the environment.
Note: The colors White and Ecru reflect more light and may retain a dazzling character.
HIGH-QUALITY DESIGN:
The Nautical Heritage
The shade sail ACRYLIC is available in standard or custom formats. Its design is directly inspired by the manufacturing of boat sails, ensuring extreme resistance to tension and weather conditions.
Unmatched robustness:
Reinforced Weight: A premium fabric of 275g/m² (up to 300g/m² depending on the ranges), specifically developed for permanent outdoor shading.
Tension Engineering: A strap made of polyester is inserted into the hem around the entire perimeter, reinforced by 316 stainless steel rings (marine quality) at each corner of the sail. This structure distributes the tension across the entire surface for better resistance and perfect stability.
High Resistance Stitching: Finished with a hem folded 3 times, double stitching with 100% high tenacity and rot-proof polyester threads, identical to those used in marine sailmaking.
Anti-Tear Safety: * Design without eyelets to avoid any risk of tearing.
Double reinforcements at each corner with consolidated stop points.
Attention to detail: For an invisible and elegant finish, all our seams and straps are made with threads rigorously matched to the color of your sail.
Unlike standard fabrics on the market, our acrylic offers a superior dimensional stability : it does not stretch over time and retains its original shape season after season.
Technical note: To ensure this durability, the sail is made in widths (fabric strips) of 130 to 150 cm depending on the chosen color.
Installation :
25% slope is imperative to ensure water drainage and avoid pockets.
Recommended for use in summer and mid-season.
Safety : It is imperative to remove the sail in winter and in case of strong winds or storms.
Cleaning :
Regular maintenance : Water, mild soap, and a soft brush.
Stubborn stains : Possible use of diluted bleach followed by thorough rinsing.
Storage : Store the sail only when it is perfectly dry, in a dry place.
FAQ
1. How to choose between a Waterproof sail (Acrylic) and Micro-perforated (Austral)?
Answer: The choice depends on your priority.
Choose Acrylic if you want to create a living space protected from light rain and if you have enough height to create a 25% slope.
Choose Austral if you live in a windy area or if your facade is low. It is ideal for breaking heat while allowing air circulation.
2. How to take measurements for my custom sail?
Answer: Do not measure the size of the desired fabric, but the distance between your fixing points (walls or masts).
Important: We will then calculate the necessary "retraction" for you to integrate the tension accessories (carabiners, tensioners) and allow optimal tension without the sail touching the anchoring points.
3. Why is it advisable to dismantle my shading sail in winter?
Even though our ACRYLIC and AUSTRAL sails are designed with high-tech materials capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, their dismantling during the winter period is strongly recommended for three main reasons:
Prevent snow weight: Unlike rain that flows or passes through the mesh, snow can accumulate and stagnate on the fabric. Its considerable weight exerts unexpected and colossal tension on your fixing points and on the structure of your facade, risking damage.
Protecting yourself from winter storms: Winter winds are often stronger, unpredictable, and accompanied by debris. Taking down your sail avoids unnecessary mechanical stress and protects the fabric from repeated friction during the months when you are not enjoying your terrace.
Extending the lifespan of your investment: By keeping your sail and its accessories (carabiners, tensioners) safe from stagnant moisture and frost, you preserve the vibrancy of the colors and the flexibility of the fibers. Proper winter storage can double the longevity of your equipment.
Workshop advice: Take advantage of the disassembly in autumn to clean your sail with soapy water. Make sure it is perfectly dry before folding it and storing it in a dry place so that you can find it like new at the first rays of spring sunshine.
4. Why are the edges of my sail curved (hollowed)?
Answer: It's a mark of quality! All our sails have a curved cut on the sides. This engineering allows the tension from the corners to be redirected towards the center of the sail. The result: a perfectly flat, well-tensioned fabric that does not flap in the wind. A sail with straight edges would create unsightly folds in the middle.
5. Can I install my sail on an exterior thermal insulation wall (ITE)?
Answer: Yes, but it requires specific fixings (chemical anchors or long threaded rods) that pass through the insulation to anchor into the load-bearing material (brick, concrete). We recommend consulting us for this type of support to ensure the safety of the installation under high tension.
6. Is my sail guaranteed against fading?
Answer: Absolutely. Thanks to the use of mass-dyed fibers (Acrylic) or high-density polyethylene treated with UV protection (Austral), our colors are guaranteed for 5 years. Unlike mass-market fabrics that fade in the sun, our textiles retain their brilliance season after season.
7. Is it possible to pay for my order in installments?
Answer: Yes, to allow you to realize your landscaping project with complete peace of mind, we offer a payment solution in 2 or 3 installments at no extra cost.
This option is available directly when you validate your cart.
It is a simple, secure, and completely free solution for you: no interest or processing fees will be charged.
8. Can I return or exchange my shade sail?
Answer: Our shade sails are made exclusively to order and custom in our workshop in Mouscron, according to your choices of dimensions and colors.
Due to this personalized and unique nature, the sails cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded (except in the case of proven manufacturing defects).
We therefore invite you to carefully check your measurements before validating your order. In case of doubt, our team is available to advise you before production begins.
* The right of withdrawal of 14 days does not apply to customized products (Art. L221-28 of the Consumer Code).
