UV Protection and Comfort
A Shade Sail should do more than simply block sunlight—it should make your outdoor space more enjoyable.
Shadetec 320 provides up to 93% UV Block and up to 85% Shade Factor, depending on the colour selected, while its breathable knitted construction allows air to circulate freely beneath the sail. This helps reduce heat build-up and creates a cooler environment compared to solid roofing materials.
The combination of shade and airflow makes Shadetec 320 an excellent choice for areas where families gather, children play, or guests relax.
Built for Everyday Outdoor Living
Although Shadetec 320 is the most affordable fabric in the Shade Space range, it is still designed for permanent outdoor use and everyday performance.
Its high-quality knitted construction offers good strength, colour stability, and resistance to tearing, helping your Shade Sail maintain its appearance over time. When combined with quality hardware, correctly engineered fixing points, and proper installation, Shadetec 320 provides years of dependable outdoor shade.
Is Shadetec 320 the Right Fabric for You?
If you're looking for an attractive, durable, and affordable Shade Sail fabric, Shadetec 320 is an excellent place to start.
It delivers dependable UV protection, a refined appearance, and reliable long-term performance, making it ideal for residential backyards, patios, and light commercial applications. For larger spans or more demanding environments, heavier fabrics such as Extrablock 330 or Monotec 370 may be better suited, but for many everyday installations, Shadetec 320 offers outstanding value and performance.
