The Astrup Company has expanded its line of Soltis® 86 and 92 solar protection fabrics to include a new wider width Soltis 86. At 106.3 inches wide, Soltis 86 is ideal for extra-large seamless expanses. Providing a genuine heat shield for building windows and outdoor spaces, Soltis 86 and 92 textiles are used to absorb and reflect up to 97 percent of the sun’s heat. At the same time, the fabric’s mesh micro-aeration design provides ventilation and a view to the outside.

Soltis fabrics are manufactured with the Ferrari patented Precontraint® technology. These fabrics are maintained under tension during the entire production process, resulting in superb dimensional stability that helps it to maintain its shape without bagging or sagging. Tear and dirt resistant, the fabrics stand up to tough conditions and continue to look fresh for years. Warranted for use inside and out, Soltis meets or exceeds necessary certifications for commercial and residential applications.

“Architects, as well as awning, sun shade and tent manufacturers have discovered Soltis and other Ferrari Precontraint textiles offer innovative solutions to their fabric structure design projects,” said Rick Tupa, Regional Sales Manager, The Astrup Company. “This innovative manufacturing process allows for unparalleled dimensional stability and increases the life of the structure.”

Soltis fabrics offer the best of both worlds in sun protection. The textile allows for a view of the outside while keeping interiors cool and reducing cooling costs. As energy prices increase, more people around the globe are protecting their internal environment with the use of Soltis products, including the most famous museum in the world – The Louvre in Paris.

Soltis 86 is now available in 69.7 inch and 106.3 inch wide colors of Black, Charcoal, Olive Brown, Putty, Sand and Taupe, as well as 13 additional colors in the 69.7-inch width. Soltis 92 is available in a selection of 50 colors in the 69.7-inch width.
