TECHNICAL INFORMATION
SouthernShade Solutions - The Ultimate Fabric
The Ultimate Fabric - COMTEX™ Premium Fire Rated Shade Fabric.
Have ever heard of a fabric that can be left outside for years and still look like new? No fading, no sagging, no tearing - despite wind, hail, rain and sun? Sounds like something out of the future?

The future is here. COMTEX™ fabric by SolarFab® offers all that and more. Available in a variety of colors, it is

  • Non-combustible

  • Withstands aggressive flexing (even from the wind!)

  • Filters out up to 95.6% of harmful UV rays (see chart)

  • Fade resistant

  • Sheds 90% of rainfall (like standing under thick-leafed tree)

  • Very, very easy to clean! (Just hose it down!)


    The Ultimate Thread - Tenara® Sewing Thread.
    The best cloth in the world would not do its job well if it was held together by weak thread. There is a lot of thread that starts out strong, but extended exposure to the elements - especially the sun - weakens most threads over time. (See chart comparing different types of outdoor thread)

    SouthernShade Solutions uses Tenara® M1000 Sewing Thread because it has a break strength of fifteen pounds and 100% retained break strength even after three years of exposure! This compares to less than 40% retained break strength for other acrylic, polyester, and cotton/polyester threads.

    This thread is just about indestructible. They even sew spacesuits with it.

    Guaranteed.
    This fabulous fabric is covered by a fabulous manufacturer's warranty which we happily pass on to our customers.
