In the world of solar protection Polyester it has an important relevance since many of the fabrics called technical are made with that base and then processed or covered with PVC or another materials. That polyester fabric is what confers the resistance of the material.

The real problem is not that it gets wet, but also the weight of the water can broke it, that´s why we recommend to install the new detector of sun and wind, to can avoid these kind of problems.
