Marine Binding, made from solution-dyed acrylic fiber, is the ideal solution in the nautical world for achieving a perfect finish to marine canvas and sailcloth edgings.

Marine Binding is available in straight or diagonal cut, made from the same material as Recacril® Marine fabric, and therefore shares the same properties of resistance to fading and the elements.

Diagonally cut bindings are more flexible than straight cut ones, making them preferable for finishes on curved edges. Each side edge of the Marine Binding is doubled over and welded so that once sewn into position it provides a perfect finish.

Straight cut Marine Bindings are 7/8” wide and the diagonally cut ones are 1” wide.

For 10 years after installation, RECASENS warranty covers their fabrics against decomposition and fading only, for regularly maintained fabrics under normal use and environmental conditions.

RECASENS will either, at its discretion, replace free of charge or reimburse the invoice value of the section of fabric recognized as faulty, excluding any costs or any other compensation for any reason whatsoever.

The warranty does not protect against any damage due to abuse, neglect, vandalism, burns of any kind, fires and natural disasters.

Consequently, the warranty excludes the following damages:

  • Faulty maintenance or the use of unsuitable products or instruments: no detergent, chemical product or solvent can be used, NOR any scraper or other instrument that may damage the surface.
  • Defects due to the aging and normal wear of the fabric.
  • Atmospheric or phytosanitary pollution.
  • Soiling caused by animals.
  • The repair of damage or defects in the fabric resulting from accidents or acts of nature.
  • Faulty assembly or handling by the user, the projection of various products, hanging objects on the fabric, falling objects, bumps, road accidents, vandalism, burns from cigarettes or other sources, and fire.
  • Lightning or unusual climatic or environmental conditions.

Wide Variety of Colors

Recsystem® fabrics are the natural evolution of Recacril® fabrics, designed to achieve high impermeability with a hydrostatic head rating over 1000 mm. Besides the Infinity Process, these fabrics are coated on one side with high-tech resins, providing outstanding water resistance.

The special coating formulation and implementation process also provides Recsystem fabric with an exceptional resistance to the wrinkles that typically occur during the manufacturing process. Moreover, unlike other products on the market, the coated side of Recsystem fabrics does not shine or have a whitish appearance.

Recsystem® canvases come in 120 cm widths with a wide range of solid colors and stripes, ideal to use in awnings requiring high water resistance.

Recsystem® canvases follow rigorous quality controls throughout the manufacturing process, meeting all requirements for obtaining approval of the UNE-EN 13561:2004+A1:2009 (performance requirements including awning safety).

Antimicrobial Treatment

Decay-causing microorganisms such as molds, algae and bacteria can damage acrylic-coated canvases. To guard against these microorganisms and ensure the quality of our fabrics, Recsystem® canvases are treated with antimicrobial products that offer optimal protection.

Antimicrobial products prevent microorganisms adhering to the fabric, however, these microorganisms may grow on dirt and other foreign substances left on the fabric.
To maximize the lifetime of Recsystem® canvas, it is essential to carry out periodic cleaning as described in the Maintenance Section.

Maintenance for Recsystem® Canvases

The high-tech Infinity Process finishing technique provides RECASENS canvases with long lasting protection against mold, as well as excellent water and oil repellency, making awnings that will 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 the fabric must be properly cleaned and maintained.

The most effective method for maintaining your canvas is to clean it once a month using a low pressure hose to prevent dirt accumulation. IMPORTANT: The fabric must be completely dry before closing or storing the awning.

The awning may be left open in the rain, as rain will also help prevent the accumulation of dirt. If for any reason you have to roll the awning while it is still wet, unroll it as soon as possible to let it dry. In times of continuous rain, we recommend keeping your awning rolled closed.

In addition to monthly rinsing, in most environments, the canvas will require a more thorough cleaning every 2-3 years. To clean your canvas:

  1. Brush off excess dust and dirt with a soft brush. NEVER brush with stiff brushes as that will damage the surface finish on the fibers.
  2. Spray the awning with clean water. Do not use a high pressure hose. Use only low pressure hoses to clean the fabric.
  3. Prepare a solution of solvent-free soap in warm water (no more than 40ºC), and apply it to the awning to dissolve any dirt or debris accumulated on the surface of the fibers.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all traces of soap.
  5. Let the awning air dry, protected from the wind, until it is completely dry.

Recsystem fabrics are protected against the growth of fungi, however, fungi can grow on embedded dirt. A more intensive cleaning will remove these stains:

  1. Brush off excess dust and dirt with a soft brush. NEVER brush with stiff brushes as that will damage the surface finish on the fibers.
  2. Prepare a solution of 10% household bleach, 20% solvent-free neutral detergent and 70% water.
  3. Apply the solution to the fabric, and leave it on for 15-20 minutes maximum.
  4. Rinse with clean water several times, as residual bleach could damage the fabric.
  5. Let the awning air dry, protected from the wind, until it is completely dry.
  6. Repeat the process if necessary.

Properly dispose of chemicals and dirty water to protect the environment. Bleach and other chemicals can damage or destroy surrounding plants, animals and other living matter.

Consumer information

Some imperfections in material may occur due to handling during preparation or installation of the awning.  

Whitish marbled streaks may form on the surface of the fabric during folding, handling and fabrication. This effect, called “crazing,” happens when fabric is folded, and creates micro fractures to the finish, causing light to refract off the fabric differently. This effect tends to appear more often in lighter colored fabrics. Sometimes, small folds may appear along the seams when rolling a canvas due to the increased thickness of the fabric at the seam.

These small irregularities are inherent in the nature of acrylic fiber and do not affect the fabric properties. As such, they are not the responsibility of the installer or manufacturer.

Nautimar is the ideal solution for cockpit covers, backyard protective covers, and other custom covers.

PVC Technical characteristics

PVC is a high-strength material, economical and recyclable, with low thermal conductivity. That’s why PVC canvases have become a widely used material in many different industries. PVC fabrics are used in textile architecture, truck covers, covers for pools or ponds, awnings, and in all other applications requiring waterproofing, high tensile resistance, and durability.

Technological advances in fabric development allow PVC fabrics to have high strength and flexibility but with a weight-to-surface ratio lower than other materials.

RECASENS PVC Technical fabrics are tested and proven products — both the mechanical properties and the color are highly resistant to weather, decay and fading.

RECASENS PVC canvases have excellent weldability and are easily printable.

Maintenance of PVC Fabrics

RECASENS fabrics are easy to maintain. The fabric surface is non-porous plastic, making it difficult for dirt to adhere to it, and easy to remove any dirt that does accumulate.

Dirt accumulation can damage the PVC canvas finish, causing accelerated deterioration. It is recommended to periodically clean the canvas to prevent decay and mold growth.

For effective cleaning, sponge off the fabric using soapy water and then rinse with clean water. Let the fabric dry fully tensioned.

We recommend using neutral (non-ionic) and a low percentage alcohol detergent. Avoid using highly acidic or highly alkaline detergents and do not use solvents or bleaching agents such as bleach or hydrogen peroxide.

To avoid damaging the canvas finish, do not use chemicals or abrasive brushes or cleaning systems using water jets at high pressure.
