Fabrics glued in strips
Glued sun protection fabrics are more durable than stitched fabrics. Because no thread is used between the strips, there is no risk of wear and tear on the thread. The sun protection fabric is glued in 120 cm strips, with side hems of 4.0 cm. The top and bottom hems of 3.0 cm are stitched, with Hylas' characteristic double hem for optimal lifespan.
