Our special Solashade™ sail material filters up to 97 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays allowing you, your family and guests stay outside longer to enjoy the sunny hot weather in Gibraltar area.
This special ‘Commercial 95’ shade sail material was first invented and developed in Australia where they know a thing or two about sunshine living!
This super strong material is ultra resistant to fading and mould that typically damages traditional canvas shades.
Solashade™ sun sails from First Impression are available in NINE different colours for you to best compliment your architecture, garden, patio or lifestyle statement and create a dynamic outdoor shade feature.
All of our Solashades have colour-fast webbing (similar to super strong car seat belt material) for controlling the wonderful shapes we can produce and for very high strengthening so that our sun sails can be tensioned properly. This webbing blends discretely within the overall colour and designs. Our machine stitching thread is also the strongest available to match the sail material.
Kinetic architecture
First Impression Solashade™ custom designed shade systems add a dynamic dimension to your property we call this – kinetic architecture
All of our sail shades are made in a purpose designed factory by British experts.
To fix the high quality sails we make and to maximise the tension needed, we only use the highest quality marine grade stainless steel fixings or long lasting strength and durability.:
Our posts are usually fabricated from quality grade galvanised steel and then coated with custom colour highly resistant paint. For special projects and high architecture we can also provide posts and rigging in stainless steel, wood, titanium or other materials.
