THE COVER IS PART OF THE SPACE.

An awning or carport isn’t just about creating shade. The fabric needs to meet the practical brief while complementing the surrounding space.

DriZ® offers a choice of colours for commercial and domestic outdoor structures, bringing design flexibility together with water-resistant performance.

Discuss the setting, finish and weather requirements with your customer. Then speak to Knittex about the DriZ® option suited to the project.

Choose the fabric for the space — and the conditions it will face.

OUR PRODUCE DESERVES CARE AT EVERY STEP.

The right packaging does more than hold your produce.

Sakpro knitted bags are manufactured from virgin HDPE, providing a high sheen that enhances the appearance of your produce and helps present your packaged product at its best.

The bags have an open structure that allows air to move around packed fruit and vegetables, while different sizes and colours give you options to suit your produce and how you sell it.

From packing to presentation, choose packaging that works for the job.

Talk to Sakpro about the right bag for your packing needs.

START WITH THE PROJECT. THEN CHOOSE THE FABRIC.

What space is being covered?

How will it be used?

What appearance does the customer want?

Colourshade® is designed for decorative shade applications, including shade sails and outdoor shade structures, where both appearance and fabric selection matter.

Bring the project details into the conversation before settling on the fabric. Talk to Knittex about the Colourshade® options for the job.

Specify with purpose. Build with confidence.

THE RIGHT NETTING STARTS WITH THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
Knittex H-Range includes Code 40H and Code 80H options, with different shade values and fabric weights to suit different applications.
At the hardware counter, start with the project:
Where will it be used? What does the customer need the cover to do?
From there, help them choose the option that fits the job.
Need help explaining the H-Range options to your customers? Speak to Knittex.

DriZ® is a performance fabric — handle it accordingly.
DriZ® has a laminated coating that requires care during transport, fabrication and installation. Protect the coated surface from abrasion, snagging and tearing throughout the process.
The coated side must face downward or away from direct sunlight, as specified in the product guidance.
Working with DriZ® on your next project? Get the handling and installation information from Knittex before you start.
A little care during fabrication helps protect the finished result.

COLOUR IS A DESIGN CHOICE. SHADE PERFORMANCE IS A SPECIFICATION.
With Colourshade Z25, each colour has its own listed shade factor and UV block value.
Help your customer choose a finish they like — then check that option against the requirements of the project. Appearance and performance belong in the same conversation.
Before you finalise the specification, ask Knittex for the Colourshade colour range and product information.
Choose the look. Check the performance. Specify with confidence.

When protection from the sun isn’t enough, the fabric matters even more.
If your customer needs protection from more than sunshine, bring that into the fabric conversation from the start.
DriZ® is Knittex’s water-resistant shade netting, developed for applications such as fixed awnings, carports and shade sails.
Tell us about the structure you’re planning and the conditions it needs to handle. We’ll help you assess whether DriZ® is the right choice for the job.
Choose the fabric around the application.

Colour is what you see. Construction is what performs.
Colourshade Z25 is manufactured from virgin high-density polyethylene, with UV stabilisers and refined pigments — material choices that matter when specifying fabric for an outdoor shade structure.
Because choosing the right shade fabric is about more than getting the colour right. It’s about selecting a fabric engineered for the application and the conditions it will face.
Choose the colour. Consider the construction. Choose Colourshade Z25.
Ask Knittex about Colourshade Z25 for your next project.
