Canvas
Specification
Cotton canvas is one of the most versatile products available and has been used in the manufacture of tents not long after its discovery. Canvas has many advantages over the modern trend of using nylon in tent production. Firstly canvas has much better properties in diffusing heat on a sunny day whilst retaining heat on a cold night when compared with a similar sized nylon tent. Secondly canvas is much more robust and durable than many flimsy nylon structures and is consequently able to withstand much greater adverse conditions and general usage.
Cotton canvas is available in many forms from its 100% unbleached natural state, to many excellent cotton polyester combinations which can provide even greater longevity and enhanced waterproof capabilities. Windjamma use a variety of canvas specifications depending on the design requirements for the canvas product in question or from a particular client brief. This canvas can then be dyed using the pantone TXT pallet range again to any specified requirement.
