When it comes to the durability of sail shades in Brisbane, it all starts with proper installation. A well-installed shade structure with high-quality fabric can last many years without requiring readjustments. What’s more, suppliers offer a 15-year warranty when installing in high-wind areas in Queensland.
How long does it take to install shade sails?
Factors like council approval and weather conditions can affect the timeframe of your sail shades installation in Brisbane. On average, an installer can take around 12 weeks to finish your custom shades. Rest assured that they will work closely with you to update you on the project’s status while ensuring a structurally sound, long-lasting, and durable shade solution that meets or exceeds your expectations.
Factors that can affect your shade’s lifespan
Incorrect tension and fixtures can make a shade sail vulnerable to winds and storms, and the structure cannot last through its guaranteed lifespan if these problems persist. Installers provide weatherproof and sturdy anchor point fixtures for optimum tensioning while angling the shades at 30 degrees, so rainwater and debris can run off naturally.
Lack of maintenance and settling for a cheap product can also impact the lifespan of your sail shades in Brisbane. Make it a point to inspect the fabric for signs of damage and get them repaired as soon as possible. You should also remove shade sails during extreme weather and reinstall them again when the weather improves.
Quality matters
Advances in fabric manufacturing have made sail shades in Brisbane more durable, long-lasting, and capable of outperforming older fabrics. Reputable suppliers and installers of custom shade sails use high-spec international, Australian, and European materials, designing and engineering them with longevity in mind. Installing these fabrics with exceptionally heavy-duty steel ensures optimum performance against high winds and other harsh weather conditions.
Fire performance
High winds, hail, and storms are not the only threats to the lifespan of sail shades in Brisbane. Extreme heat and exposure to UV radiation can make low-quality fabrics brittle and more prone to tearing. High-quality shade fabrics are tested to AS1530 Parts 2 and 3 to ensure resilience to heat. They are proven helpful in preventing ignition and the spread of flames.
