Weathermarque Characteristics

Flame, Rot and Water processed to British Standard 7837:1996 the standard for the Flammability Performance for Textiles used in construction of Marquees and Similar Textiles Structures, and Rot & Water treated to BS 2087 and BS 3408 respectively. This finish is available on a number of base fabrics:- Regentex (polyester/cotton blended fabric) Plain weave or Rip-stop weave, 100% Cotton, as well as TCS, Terylene Corespun Cotton.

The standard stock range is of base fabrics with 91 – 94cm width to suit marquee manufacturer’s production requirements. However, wider base cloths are available if required. Finished fabric is generally supplied on approximately 100 metre rolls but 15% allowance on this nominal roll length should be allowed.

Due to the unique method in processing Weathermarque, unlike other products on the market, it actually improves with use.

A softening of the cloth is to be expected with age, whilst the whiteness of the cloth will remain sharp. It is also a characteristic feature of this cloth to react with the surrounding atmosphere. It is this property that creates the ambient natural environment experience associated with canvas and which makes it such a popular choice for prestige design projects. Dependent on the design application, the fabric is excellent for transmitting and reflecting different levels of light.
