When exterior design and functionality meet, solutions like SHADEFOL® are born, a high-performance shading mesh designed to respond to the most demanding conditions of sun, wind, humidity, and salt.
Made of HDPE (high-tenacity polyethylene), SHADEFOL is a technical shade net that offers a perfect combination of mechanical strength, UV protection, and a lightweight textile design. It is ideal for taut sails, chill-out areas, recreational areas, hotel terraces, schoolyards, and all types of outdoor environments where shade is desired without sacrificing air flow or architectural aesthetics.
With a width of 320 cm, this mesh for tensioned sails allows for wide installations, reducing joints and improving the final finish of each project. Its structural lightness and resistance to extreme weather have made it a benchmark among architects, installers and designers of outdoor spaces.
Highlights of SHADEFOL shading mesh
Advanced HDPE composition
Made of high-tenacity polyethylene yarn, SHADEFOL offers a solid base for shade structures that demand lightness, durability and stable tensile behaviour.
Maximum sun protection and UV resistance
It blocks between 93% and 95% of solar radiation, making it ideal for coastal areas, high insolation environments or extreme climates where sun exposure is prolonged and constant.
Suitable for marine and saline environments
This textile mesh resistant to extreme weather maintains its integrity against saltpeter, humidity, rain and wind, even in port or beach areas.
Allows for natural ventilation
Unlike other opaque materials, SHADEFOL allows air to circulate constantly, avoiding the greenhouse effect under the sails and ensuring thermal comfort.
