Project Details

Fabric 1

Valmex FR 580 - Flame Red
Producer/Manufacturer: Rainbow Shade Products NZ
Primary Use: Main Fabric

Please describe the project specifications

Our customer wanted weather protection for their customer entryway on a busy main road.
The location sits alongside several other businesses at a busy roundabout and as a consequence could be easily missed amongst other signage.

They wanted a smart and eye catching solution for their high traffic location so we created a large fixed awning in the Spanish hoop style in bright red to match their brand colour.

What is unique or complex about the project?

This simple but elegant solution worked perfectly and gave the business frontage a much needed facelift. It is now the main thing customers look for instead of their regular signage. It is also a perfect use of outdoor textiles and highlights the power of quality outdoor textiles.

The bright and shiny fabric was unforgiving of any less than perfect execution in fabrication. For our apprentice, the careful work was well worth it when she saw the finished installation and received such positive feedback from the client.

The awning provided an attractive and functional solution while being cost effective for the client.
