WHAT IS A CANVAS? 

With its versatile areas of use, canvas is the name given to protective polyester fabrics used to shield bounded areas against sun and weather events. Also known as awnings, canvases are commonly found in tent systems.

Due to their flame retardant and waterproof properties, these products possess both durable and functional qualities. They are made from PVC and polyester fabric weaving and are available as acrylic knitted fabrics. Their resistance to rain, snow, and sunlight makes the product functional and diversifies its areas of use and production fields.

Canvas Usage Areas 

  • In industrial and construction areas as tent and storage systems

  • As shelter in refugee camps and temporary natural disaster living areas

  • As a protection in organization and park areas

  • During the preservation of indoor sports fields

  • For product preservation in production facilities and as shelter in livestock sectors 

  • As awnings and gazebos to protect the outdoor areas of small businesses from weather events

  • In market umbrellas

  • For covering and protecting truck beds and products

  • Brandas are used in covering balconies and terraces.

Having different color shades, the ability to apply written and visual prints, and being designable in unlimited sizes makes canvas appealing for industries. High preservation capacity is also among the additional reasons for preference.

Additionally, used as industrial blankets and concrete protectors, these systems protect from the deformative nature of rain and snow water, providing advantages in time and labor due to easy and quick applicability. Canvas applications are generally projected by wrapping them over steel or metal skeleton systems.

Types of Canvas

  • zippered canvas

  • transparent canvas

  • banner canvas

  • straw canvas

  • car and truck canvases

  • scaffolding canvas

  • membrane canvas

  • tented canvas as alternatives.

Canvas prices do not have a standard value and are priced per square meter. Factors that determine the price include the quality of the canvas, type and frequency of weaving, color, size, raw material, and cost. 


 

 CANVAS MANUFACTURING 

Canvases produced to protect against weather events such as sunlight, rain, and snow are also used as protective equipment in many sectors due to their durability and flame retardant qualities. Used with the purpose of protecting areas in tents, gazebos, truck and trailer beds, pools, and cafes, market umbrellas, and concrete blankets; they offer versatile use in many sectors due to easy shaping and fast application advantages.

Awnings produced by weaving polyester fibers to specific thicknesses can be manufactured to the desired length and size. Canvases used for protection, especially in tents, are produced with thicker and denser weaving, while more lightweight and sparse weaving is used for umbrella and banner-like systems. For Canvases produced on technological special weaving machines using PVC or polyester raw material fibers in specific weights, smoothing of the surface and seamless continuous weaving are key aspects to be aware of.

Produced to eliminate gaps, and to be woven in the same alignment and direction, they must be produced with caution against any weaving defects that might cause leakage, thus maintaining impermeability. Important for preventing water and UV rays from leaking inside, this detail should be attended to by expert engineers and companies. In branda applications, which can be sized according to requirement, there is no limit in terms of dimension and width. This allows for comfort in choosing among versatile and functional areas.

 

How is Canvas Sewing Done?

Nylon and PVC composite polyester fibers are woven to desired measurements in a factory environment using technological machines to manufacture canvases, which are then cut and sewn according to the characteristics of the area where they will be applied, making them ready for use. With various color tones, offering rich alternatives, these fabrics can be easily used in any area for protection purposes.

 

Canvas Manufacturing Prices

The most important factor in determining the cost of canvas is the quality and weight of the fibers used. Prices for canvases are set per square meter of the application area, while color, thickness, and quality differences also play roles in determining costs.

USAGE AREAS

Due to their functional and resistant structures, canvases are used as protective equipment in many sectors. In tent and awning applications, their waterproof and flame-retardant properties are utilized. Canvases are used in industrial, advertising, construction, husbandry, and temporary shelter areas for practical and versatile use; produced by weaving PVC, polyester fibers using state-of-the-art machines.

These systems, which can be designed in desired size and dimensions, cater to different needs with various color tones. Their durable structures against tearing, perforating, fading, and wearing steer the multifunctional uses of canvases and tents, making them preferred for both individual and sectorial needs.
