Valmex Solera Uni – Long-Lasting Awning Fabric in Solid Colors
Valmex Solera Uni is a high-quality awning fabric in solid color design, specially developed for caravan awnings and camping use. This German-made PVC-coated tarpaulin offers exceptional tear resistance and absolute waterproofness. Thanks to an additional double-sided lacquer coating, the material is dirt-repellent and particularly easy to clean. It is also fungicide-treated, which means the fabric is mold-resistant and protected in the long term from fungus and bacteria – a major advantage in changing weather conditions and when packing the tarpaulin while still damp. The surface features a coarse linen texture, giving it an elegant, textile appearance that blends beautifully with the design of caravans and awnings.
With a weight of approx. 610 g/m², Valmex Solera Uni is extremely robust and comparable in quality to truck tarpaulins, without sacrificing flexibility. Even under intense sunlight, the fabric remains UV-resistant and colorfast, so your chosen color stays vibrant even after many uses. Naturally, it is 100% waterproof and withstands rain, wind, and harsh weather over extended periods. Valmex Solera Uni is available in several attractive solid colors, allowing you to match it perfectly with your caravan or tent. The standard roll width is approximately 1.50 m – ideal for awning constructions. Wider sheets are also available via welding to cover larger areas seamlessly.
Key Features of Valmex Solera Uni:
- High-quality PVC material (approx. 610 g/m²): Extremely tear-resistant, durable, and long-lasting – ideal for permanent outdoor use.
- Weatherproof and waterproof: Completely waterproof and UV-resistant for excellent protection from rain, sun, and wind.
- Mold-resistant: Fungicide-treated to protect against mold, fungi, and bacteria – prevents mildew stains and damage from moisture.
- Double-sided lacquer coating: Dirt-repellent surface, easy to clean and resistant to weathering.
- Textile appearance: Coarse linen embossing gives the tarpaulin an elegant finish and reduces glare.
- Versatile use: Perfect as a caravan awning tarpaulin, camping tarp, or heavy-duty protective cover for various applications.
Ideal for camping: Valmex Solera Uni is the perfect awning tarpaulin designed to meet the needs of camping enthusiasts. It reliably protects the awning area of your caravan or motorhome, providing a dry and sheltered outdoor space. With high tear and tensile strength, the tarp remains stable even in windy conditions. Whether for long-term camping or holiday trips, this solid-colored tent fabric stands out for its ease of use, long service life, and attractive appearance.
Valmex Solera Striped – Stylish Striped Fabrics with Superior Durability
If you're looking for a combination of function and visually appealing design, Valmex Solera Striped is the perfect awning fabric. This version of the Solera series features harmoniously coordinated stripe patterns that give every caravan awning a unique and attractive look. The stripes are part of the material coating and not simply printed on. This ensures an even, consistent color application that retains its vibrancy for years without fading. When combined with the solid-colored Solera variants, countless design possibilities arise – for example, awning roofs and side panels can be color-accented differently without creating visual breaks in the material.
Valmex Solera Striped offers the same robust material properties as the Uni version: the tarpaulin fabric is tear-resistant, weatherproof, and built for long-term outdoor use. Both sides are coated with a protective lacquer that repels dirt and makes cleaning effortless. Of course, this version is also UV-stable and waterproof, offering reliable protection in any weather. An antimicrobial treatment (fungicide protection) prevents mildew and microbial growth, which is especially important when the fabric is stored folded for extended periods. With a weight of approx. 610–660 g/m² and a width of approx. 1.60 m per roll, the striped version is equally robust and easy to work with. It can be cut, sewn, or joined by high-frequency welding to create custom-fit awnings or covers.
Advantages of Valmex Solera Striped:
- Attractive stripe design: Gives your awning a distinctive look. The stripe colors are permanently embedded in the fabric for long-lasting vibrancy.
- High quality and durability: Premium German-made product designed for caravan awnings. Tear-resistant, hard-wearing tarpaulin that withstands wind and weather.
- Weatherproof and UV-resistant: Suitable for long-term outdoor use – no brittling or fading from sun exposure.
- Easy to maintain & mold-resistant: Smooth lacquered surface repels dirt, and built-in protection against fungi and bacteria ensures a clean, durable appearance.
- Easy to process: Excellent weldability and sewability for custom cuts. Ideal for tailor-made awnings, pavilion coverings, or tarpaulin walls with windows.
Use cases: Valmex Solera Striped is primarily used in the camping sector, especially as a tent tarpaulin for caravan awnings or motorhomes, where aesthetics are just as important as performance. It is also suitable wherever a high-quality, UV-resistant tarpaulin with decorative appeal is needed – such as for sun sails, custom awnings, or stylish protective covers for garden pavilions. With its blend of design and resilience, this striped awning fabric is the ideal solution for anyone looking for a durable and attractive tarp.
Block Stripe Tarpaulin B1 – Flame-Retardant Tent Stripe Fabric for Maximum Safety
Our Block Stripe Tarpaulin B1 (also known as tent stripe tarpaulin) is the ideal solution for outdoor use, especially in areas with strict safety requirements. With its B1 certification (flame-retardant according to DIN 4102), this tarpaulin is officially classified as flame-retardant. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where fire safety is crucial – events, circus tents, trade fair tents, market stalls, or sales booths all benefit from the use of a B1-certified material, as it significantly slows the spread of fire in case of emergency. Despite its fire-retardant properties, this tarpaulin makes no compromises in terms of durability or weather resistance.
Design and Construction of the Block Stripe Tarpaulin
This tarpaulin features a bold and classic striped design. The colored block stripes are arranged in a regular pattern and are exactly 9 cm wide. This precise stripe size ensures a uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance – perfect for nostalgic circus tents or market canopies with a traditional striped look. A key feature: the stripes are printed on only one side of the tarpaulin. The reverse is plain white, offering flexible application options. Depending on your needs, you can display the striped side outward for visual impact, while the white inner side creates a bright, inviting tent interior. The stripes are permanently integrated into the material (not merely surface printed), guaranteeing long-lasting color quality.
Material Properties and Easy Processing
The Block Stripe Tarpaulin B1 impresses with its durability and high resilience. It is made of robust PVC-coated fabric with a weight of 680 g/m², placing it among the most heavy-duty tarpaulins – comparable to thick truck tarpaulins. This heavy-duty fabric withstands significant stress and frequent setup and takedown. It is also UV-resistant, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use. Even under strong sunlight, the stripe colors remain vibrant, and the material retains its flexibility and strength for many years. Neither harsh sun, rain, wind, nor temperature fluctuations can affect the quality of this material.
One of the biggest advantages of the Block Stripe Tarpaulin is its excellent workability. The sturdy fabric can be cut, sewn, and especially welded with ease. Standard PVC welding equipment can be used to join panels seamlessly, ensuring waterproof seams and high mechanical stability – essential for large tent structures or roof areas. Whether for tent constructions, awning covers, or various protective applications, the B1 tarpaulin can be efficiently and precisely processed to meet all requirements without fraying or losing strength. Its flexible yet dimensionally stable nature also makes it suitable for complex projects.
