RecScreen® yarns composition

RecScreen® fabrics are made of PVC-coated high tenacity polyester yarns.

Those yarns are manufactured in our facilities located in Sant Jordi de Cercs (Barcelona) and woven in our factory in La Pobla de Montornés (Tarragona), controlling the manufacturing process and applying criteria for quality assurance.

In RECASENS we use two types of yarn, one thick and one thin, which combined, allow to achieve different openness factor and textures, which makes RecScreen® fabrics highly versatile, ideal for making different types of curtains, awnings, roller blinds for inside and outside applications.

Advantages of RecScreen® yarns

All RecScreen® fabrics are made of high tenacity polyester yarns which has significant advantages over the common fiberglass yarn:

  • Polyester yarn is more flexible than fiberglass yarn. Polyester screen yarn have a higher resistance to bending and torsion than the fiberglass screen yarn, for this reason, polyester screen fabric never breaks by fatigue.
  • High tenacity polyester yarn ensures a perfect fixing of PVC. PVC and polyester by having similar elastic behavior versus temperature, rather than fiberglass and PVC, do not cause the appearance of fringes in core yarn cut.

Advantages RecScreen® fabrics

  • High mechanical strength, both tensile and tear.
  • Excellent weather resistance. Fabric does not degrade and perfectly holds color.
  • The yarn used in the manufacture is from cylindrical section, achieving an excellent rolled performance, preventing lateral displacement of the fabric.
  • Fabric is absolutely odorless.
  • Easy handling. Allows bend and weave, shaping the fabric without leaving marks.
  • High memory. The resilience of RecScreen® always offer an unbeatable initial appearance.
  • Excellent shear behavior. The RecScreen® structure does not fray. It can be cut with cutting machines “crush-cutting“, ultrasound or laser cutting. The resulting cut is clean and ready to use, so it is not necessary to put reinforcements, hems, or apply any lacquer.
  • Easy welding. Perfect adherence is achieved with all kinds of welding machines. Suitable for joints with sewing machine.
  • Very good dimensional stability.
  • Fireproof. Certified M-1 and CLASS-1 (UNE-EN 13773:2003).
  • Free of lead. Contains no harmful substances to human body.
  • AAnti bacteria and mold resistant due to the special formulation of the PVC coating.
  • Different Openness Factor for optimum regulation of the amount of light entering the interiors. Lower Openness Factor, lower incoming light intensity.
  • Wide range of colors. In addition to its aesthetic function, color plays a technical function because each color absorbs, transmits or reflects light differently, allowing you to adjust the energy balance of the room.
  • Solar Screen. RecScreen® offers high protection to UV harmful rays, varies according to different Openness Factor ,a lower degree of openness entails a greater filtration.
  • Visual comfort. Depending on the Openness Factor and the RecScreen® color chosen, you have control over glare, achieving a beneficial effect on visual comfort, avoiding eye strain.
  • Energy savings in buildings by allowing regulate loss and gain heat and light. The color, thickness and fabric openness, definitely influence the absorption and loss of light and heat. These factors are crucial for reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning and heating.
  • Ventilation. The RecScreen® woven fabric allows air permeability, preventing the formation of a hot air cushion between the glass and the shade or under the awning.
  • Three meters width. This measure permits a better use of the RecScreen®, fabric, with fewer welds and significant savings in labor.

Maintenance of the RecScreen® fabrics

The RecScreen® sfabrics are easy to maintain. The yarn surface is plastic and has no pores, making it difficult for the dirt to stick, being easy to remove.

Usually you could use a sponge with soapy water, rinse with clean water, and let the fabric dry completely deployed.

If the fabric has a lot of dust, it is preferable to remove it first with a vacuum cleaner (with compressed air, it is also possible to blow on the fabric surface, watching distance to avoid fabric damage). Once the dust is removed, proceed to clean with a sponge in soapy water and then rinse with clean water and let it dry completely deployed.

It is very important to never rub the fabric with solvents or abrasives (metal brushes, powdered detergents, etc.) as these products can damage the yarn surface causing small cracks that allow dirt to accumulate in them, being more difficult to remove.

When cleaning window glasses, is recommended to remove or roll up completely the RecScreen® fabric to prevent splashing of chemicals.

Properties

Maintenance for Recacril® Canvases

The high technology finish, Infinity Process provides the RECASENS canvases with a long lasting protection against mold and excellent water and oil repellency, making awnings protect you from both sun and water for many years.

However, the accumulation of dust, air pollution particles, foreign organic materials and general dirt can damage this protection, shortening the life of the canvas so they must be eliminated.

The most effective method for maintaining canvases is to clean once a month with water with a low pressure hose, thereby, dirt accumulation into the fabric is avoided.

It is very important that after cleaning with water, the canvas should be completely dry before rolling back the awning.

In case of rain we can leave the awning open, since rain washes dirt. If for any reason you have to roll the wet awning, it must be unrolled as soon as possible and let it dry. In times of continuous rains is advisable to keep the awnings rolled.

If this periodic water washing is done, in most environments, you only need make a process more thorough cleaning every 2 or 3 years.

The steps to follow are:

  1. Brush off excess dust and dirt with a soft brush. NEVER brush with stiff brushes since damage the finish film tissue.
  2. Spray the awning with clean water. If a hose is used, to avoid high pressure.
  3. Prepare a solution of solvent-free soap in warm water (no more than 40ºC) and apply it on the awning, letting penetrate tissue.
  4. Rinse with water to remove all traces of soap.
  5. Let air dry and no wind the awning until the canvas is completely dry.

Las lonas Recacril® están protegidas frente al crecimiento de hongos, no obstante, los hongos si pueden crecer sobre la suciedad incrustada. Para la limpieza de este tipo de manchas es necesario realizar una limpieza más intensa siguiendo el siguiente procedimiento:

  1. Cepillar el exceso de polvo y suciedad con un cepillo muy suave. No cepillar NUNCA con cepillos duros puesto que dañan la película del acabado del tejido.
  2. Preparar una solución con un 10% de lejía doméstica, 20% de detergente neutro exento de disolventes y 70% de agua.
  3. Aplicar la solución sobre el tejido, dejándola actuar entre 15 y 20 minutos como máximo.
  4. Aclarar con agua limpia varias veces, ya que si quedaran residuos de lejía en la lona, con la acción combinada del sol, podrían dañar el tejido.
  5. Dejar secar al aire y no enrollar el toldo hasta que la lona esté completamente seca.
  6. Repetir el proceso si es necesario

Para proteger el Medio Ambiente, asegúrese de recoger el agua sucia cuando use lejía, ya que puede ser perjudicial para animales y plantas.

Consumer information

Due to handling during preparation or installation of the awning, some imperfections can occur. These small irregularities such as veining, small folds or whitish streaks are inherent in the nature of acrylic fiber and do not harm the properties of the canvas. Therefore, is not the responsibility of the installer or manufacturer.

Whitish marbled streaks appears on wrinkle formation during the manufacture and installation of the awning. This is caused by an optical effect of different refraction of light. Are minor brands that are appreciated more for transparency. The light colored canvas are more sensitive to the formation of these imperfections than dark colored canvases.

Small folds can appear along the seams by rolling the canvas due to increased thickness of the seam.

The Recacril® canvases are very easy to handle because the fabric has a consistent firm hand and excellent lay flat that makes the canvas easy to cut, sew, and fabricate. The tighter weave structure and smoother surface of Recacril® canvases makes printing easier. This configuration provides better adhesion of the vinyl when heat transfer equipment is used. If screen printing is used, the closed structure of the yarns, allow less ink to pass through, which results in sharper, and more defined prints.

The Recacril® canvases follow a rigorous quality control throughout the manufacturing process, meeting all requirements for obtaining approval of the UNE-EN 13561:2004+A1:2009 (Performance requirements including awnings security).

Advantages of solution-dyed acrylic yarns

Generally, synthetic yarns are colorless when manufactured. To color the fibers there are two systems:


Conventional Dye. Immerse the fiber (yarn or fabric) in a solution-dye and other auxiliary products. After a while at the right temperature and after rinsing the fabric is dyed. As the colorant is applied after the fiber produced, it is distributed in a homogeneous surface without penetrating the core of the fiber.

Solution dyed. The other way to dye fibers is to add the dye to the liquid fiber solution before the fibers are extruded. This allows the color to be mixed into the solution thoroughly, bringing the color all the way through the fiber once it is extruded, obtaining colored fabrics with great wear resistance, excellent color, and an exceptional weathering behavior and mitigation of microorganisms effects.

Infinity process

As a result of ongoing processes of R+D+i, RECASENS develops and applies the Infinity Process, to all Recacril®Recacril® Marine, Recsystem® and Recwater canvases.

The Infinity Process is a high-tech treatment designed to ensure the lasting quality of the fabrics. In this process, nanoparticles from the finished products, completely cover the surface of the fabric fibers, forming a permanent lining. After treatment, the surface and inside the fabric are permanently protected from dirt accumulation and adverse effects of a wide variety of atmospheric agents.

The low reactivity and high stability of the Infinity Process gives the awning a durable and long lasting protection especially against mold, and provides excellent water and oil repellency.

Sun protection

The Recacril® canvases are effective sunscreen elements since they filter high percentages of ultraviolet radiation. The level of protection varies from one fabric type to another depending on its weight, thickness and color. Canvases with a higher weight protect better, and dark canvases offer greater protection than clear ones.

The acrylic RECASENS canvases offer high levels of UV protection, Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of up to +80 according to international standard UV Standard 801.

Rain resistance

The Infinity Process gives to Recacril® canvases a good water and oil repellency, with a column of water sufficient to withstand a light and short rain. The Recacril® canvases are designed primarily for sun protection, but if also a proper maintenance is performed and the awning is installed with a minimum slope of 14°, the Recacril® canvases also offer a good protection against light and short rains.

If a canvas has to withstand frequent and intense rains, it is necessary to use waterproof products, such as Recsystem® and Recwater.

Recacril® Warranty

RECASENS fabrics are manufactured following the most demanding quality standards, thus ensuring a high resistance and durability of the fabric.
All RECASENS fabrics have warranty period from the date of installation.
The warranty covers the abnormal deterioration, decay and loss of color of the fabrics subjected to normal atmospheric conditions and when correct maintenance has been systematically carried out. Within the period, RECASENS will replace free of charge the defective yardage or pay its cost. The warranty covers only the value of the fabric and specifically excludes any other elements of the awning (hardware, mechanisms, etc.), as well as the costs of producing and installing the awning.
The warranty does not cover any deterioration due to abuse, negligence, vandalism, burns of any kind, fires and natural disasters.

In particular:
  • The lack of maintenance of the fabric or its use of inappropriate products or instruments. In particular, NEVER use solvents or hard brushes or other scraping instruments that can damage the protective treatment of Recacril® fabrics.
  • Environmental or phytosanitary pollution.
  • Organic dirt produced by animals.
  • Assembly defects or user maneuver errors.
  • Placing objects on top of the fabric, or dropping objects on it.
  • Unusual atmospheric conditions (rays, storms, etc.).
For products installed on or after April 20th, 2022, Recacril® (Solids&Textured, Classics and Fantasy) fabrics will have 12 years warranty. The sum covered shall depend to the number of years between the date of original installation and the appearance of the defect:
  • Up to the 5th year, RECASENS will supply a fabric equivalent to 100 % of the value of the defective one.
  • In the 6th year, RECASENS will supply 50% of the replacement fabric at no cost.
  • In the 7th and 8th year, RECASENS will supply 30% of the replacement fabric at no cost.
  • In the 9th and 10th year RECASENS will provide 10% of the replacement fabric at no cost.
  • In the 11th and 12th year, RECASENS will provide 5% of the replacement fabric at no cost.

In order to process the warranty, customer should have the original invoice. A registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt must be sent to RECASENS (Att. Customer Service Department). Then the fabric will remain at the disposal of RECASENS or the insurance company.

Replacement or refund of defective fabric does not imply the extension of the warranty of the replacement fabric.

Maintenance for Recacril® Canvases

The high-tech finish Infinity Process provides Recacril® RECASENS fabrics with long-lasting protection against mold and mildew excellent water and oil repellency making Recacril® fabrics protect you from both sun and water for many years.

However the accumulation of dust air pollution particles organic materials fatty substances and dirt in general can damage this protection shortening the life of Recacril® fabrics which makes their removal necessary.

The most effective method to keep Recacril® fabrics in good condition is to clean the fabric once a month with a hose with little pressure thus preventing the accumulation and penetration of dirt on the canvas.

It is very important that after cleaning with water the canvas is allowed to dry completely before closing the awning.

If under any circumstance the wet awning had to be closed it should be opened again as soon as possible and allowed to dry completely. In times of heavy rain it is advisable to keep the awnings closed.

If this washing is carried out periodically with water in most environments it will only be necessary to do a more in depth cleaning process every 2 or 3 years.

Normal cleaning: 
  1. Brush the dirt with a very soft brush. NEVER brush with hard brushes since they damage the protective treatment of the fabric.
  2. Spray the awning fabric with clean water. If a hose is used, avoid using high pressure.
  3. Prepare a solution of neutral soap in warm water (no more than 40° C) and apply it on the fabric.
  4. Rub with a soft brush allowing the solution to penetrate the fabric.
  5. Rinse with plenty of clean water to remove all soap residue.
  6. Let dry in the open air and do not roll up the awning until the fabric is completely dry.

If the stains persist, it will be necessary to perform a more intense cleaning following the following procedure:

Intensive cleaning:
  1. Brush the dirt with a very soft brush. NEVER brush with hard brushes since they damage the fabric finish.
  2. Prepare a solution with 10% household bleach, 20% neutral soap (solvent free) and 70% water.
  3. Apply the solution on the fabric, allowing it to act for a maximum of 15-20 minutes.
  4. Rinse with plenty of clean water to remove all soapy residue, since if residues of bleach remain in the fabric, with the combined action of the sun, they could end up damaging it.
  5. Let dry in the open air and do not roll up the awning until the fabric is completely dry.
  6. Repeat the above process if necessary.
To protect the environment, be sure to collect dirty water when using bleach, as it can be harmful to people, animals and plants.

Consumer information

Due to handling during preparation or installation of the awning, some imperfections can occur. These small irregularities such as veining, small folds or whitish streaks are inherent in the nature of acrylic fiber and do not harm the properties of the canvas. Therefore, is not the responsibility of the installer or manufacturer.

Whitish marbled streaks appears on wrinkle formation during the manufacture and installation of the awning. This is caused by an optical effect of different refraction of light. Are minor brands that are appreciated more for transparency. The light colored canvas are more sensitive to the formation of these imperfections than dark colored canvases.

Small folds can appear along the seams by rolling the canvas due to increased thickness of the seam.
