Sometimes things go wrong!
Some time ago we designed and installed a fabric roof for one of our valued clients in Kata Beach, Phuket. After about 12 months one of the cream fabric panels, for some reason, faded to a lighter colour. Our fabric manufacturer honoured their warranty and supplied us with new fabric for the entire roof. The client took this opportunity to up-grade the fabric from a transluscent architectural PVC to a white block-out PVC fabric, to counter the total exposure to Phuket’s blazing sun and provide a slightly darker, glare-free atmosphere in his roof-top patio area.
Here is the roof before:
Fabric V1: cream coloured 650 gram/sqm architectural PVC
And after the installation of the new “block-out” opaque white fabric membrane:
Fabric Version 2: opaque white "block-out" architectural PVC

“I really appreciate the friendly way you’ve honoured this (warranty) commitment and given the opportunity to undertake an upgrade”. |

Our client’s brand new villa lacked one thing – a shady place to relax by the pool on those hot sunny Phuket afternoons.
“Please, for Christmas” was the request, and within 2 weeks we delivered. From first measure, through design, fabrication and installation.
