Maintenance for Recsystem® Marine 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 tops and covers 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 it.

The canvas may be left open in the rain, as rain will also help prevent the accumulation of dirt. If for any reason you have to store the fabric while it is still wet, open it as soon as possible to let it dry.

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 fabric 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 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 canvas air dry fully tensioned, protected from the wind, until it is completely dry.

Recsystem® Marine tarps are protected against the growth of fungi, however, fungi can grow on embedded dirt. A more intensive cleaning will remove these types of 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 fabric air dry fully tensioned, protected from the wind, until 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 canvas. These small irregularities, such as veining, small folds or whitish streaks are inherent in the nature of acrylic fiber and do not affect the fabric properties. Such defects are inherent in the fabric, and are not the responsibility of the installer or manufacturer.

Whitish marbled streaks may form on the surface of the fabric during the folding, handling and fabrication. This effect, called “crazing,” is caused when folding the fabric causes microfractures to the finish, which causes light to refract off the fabric differently. This effect tends to appear more often in lighter colored fabrics.

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

RecScreen® yarns composition

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

RecScreen® yarns are manufactured in our facilities located in Sant Jordi de Cercs (Barcelona) and woven in our factory in La Pobla de Montornés (Tarragona), allowing us control of the manufacturing and quality assurance processes.

At RECASENS, we use two types of yarn, one thick and one thin, which, when combined, achieve different Openness Factors and textures. The different combinations and weaves make RecScreen® fabrics highly versatile, ideal for both indoor and outdoor use in many different types of curtains, awnings, and roller blinds.

Advantages of RecScreen® yarns

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

  • Polyester yarn is more flexible than fiberglass yarn. Polyester screen yarns have a higher resistance to bending and torsion than fiberglass screen yarns, so polyester screen fabric will not break due to fatigue.
  • High-tenacity polyester yarn ensures a perfect cohesion of the PVC finish. Unlike fiberglass and PVC, PVC and polyester share similar elastic behavior versus temperature properties, and create clean core cuts that do not look frayed, or fringed.

Advantages RecScreen® fabrics

  • High mechanical strength, both tensile and tear.
  • Excellent weather resistance. Fabric does not degrade and holds color perfectly.
    The yarn used in the manufacture is from cylindrical section, achieving an excellent rolled performance, preventing lateral displacement of the fabric.
  • Completely odorless.
  • Easy handling. Tolerates bending and weaving, allowing shaping of the fabric without leaving marks.
  • Excellent shear behavior. The RecScreen® structure does not fray. It can be cut with any cutting machine – “crush-cutting”, ultrasound or laser cutting –  and the resulting cut will be clean and ready to use, not requiring reinforcements, hems, or the application of 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 substances harmful to the human body.
  • Anti-bacterial and mold resistant due to the special formulation of the PVC coating.
  • Different Openness Factors for optimum regulation of the amount of light entering interiors. Lower Openness Factor will yield 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 harmful UV rays, depending on the fabric’s Openness Factor – a lower Openness Factor will give better light filtration.
  • Visual comfort. The Openness Factor and the RecScreen® color chosen can help control the amount of glare during direct sunlight, achieving a beneficial effect on visual comfort and avoiding eye strain.
  • Energy savings in buildings. The fabric’s color, thickness and openness influence the absorption and loss of light and heat, allowing occupants to regulate lighting and temperature, crucial factors for reducing energy consumption driven by lighting, air conditioning and heating.
  • Ventilation. The RecScreen® woven fabric allows air permeability, preventing hot air from building up between the glass and the shade or under the awning.
  • Extra Wide. Three-meter width permits better use of RecScreen® fabrics with fewer cuts, welds and significant savings in labor.

Cleaning Instructions RecScreen® 5000P and 6000

To clean RecScreen® 5000P and RecScreen® 6000 sponge the fabric with a solution of 1 cup of mild detergent, 1 cup of liquid bleach to 3 gallons of warm water. Protect furnishings, trims, and plant materials that could be damaged or harmed by the soap or bleach. Rinse screen thoroughly with clear clean water and allow to air dry. Treat stains as soon as possible. Do not use abrasive household cleaners, or solvent or petroleum based cleaners.
