It is made of Tempotest Starlight Blue, a sun protection fabric from Parà Tempotest certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS). The major bonus: compared to conventional polyester awning covers, modern basics blue has a significantly better environmental balance in terms of energy consumption, CO2 emissions and water consumption. 16 attractive designs in contemporary colours make the high-quality fabrics a modern accessory for the popular outdoor living area. With the new collection of fabrics, Weinor and its cooperation partner also entered the R+T Innovation Award, which is presented at the trade fair – with success, as it was nominated for the final judging on 22 February 2021.

Sophisticated development
The modern basics blue awning fabric collection from Tempotest Starlight blue delivers significant savings potential with regard to the ecological footprint: The recycling of disposable PET bottles consumes approx. 60 % less energy and causes approx. 45 % less CO2 emissions. The spundyeing process used saves an additional approx. 90 % water compared to conventional yarn or piece dyeing. With its product characteristics, modern basics blue meets the highest standards and thus offers the same high quality as the durable polyester fabrics from the existing weinor fabric collection with their permanently brilliant covers.
The recycled base material is food-grade PET, a thermoplastic from the polyester family. The high elasticity of polyester fabrics ensures the best possible fabric stability. The memory effect causes the fabric to bounce back better to return to its original state. All fabrics in the modern basics blue awning collection are certified according to ÖKO-Tex Standard 100 and block around 98 % of UV radiation with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 50+.
Conversation session with leadership team
In addition, Weinor will be showing other interesting innovations to the trade public. These include the Terrazza Sempra glass patio roof and the Plaza Viva pergola awning, which can now be fitted with VertiTex II vertical sun protection. In addition, visitors can look forward to a talk format on the morning of the first day of the fair, which Weinor will broadcast as part of the R+T. Here, viewers will learn first-hand news about the company and its products.
Managing Director Thilo Weiermann is looking forward to the event, as are many other Weinor employees: “I am eager to see what our trade partners think about the new trade fair format. We will definitely offer them attractive opportunities for professional and personal exchange, for example through chats with our sales team throughout the fair.“
