Proper resource management is one of the cornerstones for a more sustainable future.
Sattler has developed the Cross Fiber Process to use resources that were not previously used for our high-quality outdoor fabrics at an early stage of product development.
We collect fibers that arise in the transition between two colors and were previously discarded.
The collection, sorting and spinning takes place in the Cross Fiber Process before we further process the resulting yarn in our 393 Elements Cross Fiber quality.
By using this yarn in the weft of the fabric, which accounts for around 30% of the finished fabric, we create consistent visual and technical properties and therefore quality to meet the highest standards.

Our premium awning fabrics are made from 100 % solution-dyed branded acrylic. This guarantees top-level functionality, outstanding UV protection and an amazing textile feel. Colors resist fading, and fabrics will not break down even after years of exposure to the sun.
Moreover, in our Lumera and Lumera 3D qualities, we use CBA -yarn; a fiber exclusively developed for Sattler. ‘Clean Brilliant Acrylic’ stands for a smooth, brilliant acrylic yarn, which makes it easier to remove dirt and water and makes colors shine brighter.
What many of us ignore: we are also exposed to UV rays, which are harmful to our skin, even in the shade. This is why it is particularly important for Sattler that our fabrics undergo the most rigorous tests.
Our fabrics are tested according to the UV Standard 801. This testing method does not only consider the fabric when new, but also how the fabric behaves under different weather conditions. This means the fabrics are exposed to extreme conditions (e. g. extreme exposure to the sun and weather). This helps to determine if the fabric keeps its durability promise over the years.
This is the only way to ensure that the fabric you choose will meet your demands.
UV Protection in comparison | UV- or sun protection factor |
Light cotton clothes (according to UV Standard 801) | aprox. 2 - 10 |
Sunscreen when used properly (SPF) | 0 - 30 |
Shadow under a tree | aprox. 5 - 15 |
Shadow under a parasol (without spec. UV-protection) | aprox. 2 - 15 |
Sattler sun protection textiles | 40 - 80 |
High quality and long lasting protection for your awning fabric.
At Sattler, every single fiber is carefully covered with a protective coating. Our proprietary impregnation prevents the permeation by water, humidity and dirt, thus supporting the self-cleaning effect. Dirt pearls roll down the surface like water drops on leaves.
Textiles by Sattler distinguish themselves through:
Never clean with high-pressure cleaners
Remove loose dirt regularly
Never roll up or fold whilst wet.
Clean with a mild soapy water solution.
Spun-dyed branded acrylic – only the very best for your sun protection fabric.
TEXgard - the finishing with self-cleaning lotus effect for your awning fabrics.
To guarantee your protection, all Sattler fabrics are subject to the most stringent UV testing standards.
