Discover all the advantages of solar protection with PVC sheeting

What is the solar protection of a tarpaulin?

Solar protection both diffuses daylight and filters out some of the sun's rays. A PVC tarpaulin with this extra protection is ideal for protecting your pergolas, mobile home decks, carports, marquees and other party tents from the sun...

How does solar protection work on tarpaulins?

Generally speaking, the heat emitted by the sun can be attenuated by the "mirror effect" (solar reflection) and by the material's ability to absorb and neutralize calories (solar absorption). For example, our range of XP680M2 solar protection covers reduces thermal discomfort with its light colors and heat-absorbing properties .The combination of these two principles limits the amount of residual heat passing through the textile material. What's more, this range benefits from additional treatments for greater durability, compared with XP640 range .


Here is an example of the measured indices (reflection, absorption, thermal comfort, etc.) of our range of special sun protection tarpaulins. As you can see, the solar reflection, solar absorption and thermal comfort indicators vary according to the color of the fabric.
