We recently completed the remaining panels of tensioned Serge-Ferrari architectural mesh fabric facade screens over our previously ugly despatch/quality control building at our Phuket factory.

Check out the difference this makes. Installation was completed in just a couple of hours.

Script & images were printed in-house by UV ink-jet techniques.

Like many commercial properties, we have some buildings on the premises which, to be politically correct, “have an appearance which fails to project our desired image” …….. or in English, are downright ugly!

Have you?

We are now solving the problem with fabric mesh facades, or BUILDING WRAP as we like to call it.

This is work in progress…… but check out the potential of this quick, long-lasting (10years +) solution to ugly buildings.

Sometimes things go wrong!

Some time ago we designed and installed a fabric roof for one of our valued clients in Kata Beach, Phuket. After about 12 months one of the cream fabric panels, for some reason, faded to a lighter colour. Our fabric manufacturer honoured their warranty and supplied us with new fabric for the entire roof. The client took this opportunity to up-grade the fabric from a transluscent architectural PVC to a white block-out PVC fabric, to counter the total exposure to Phuket’s blazing sun and provide a slightly darker, glare-free atmosphere in his roof-top patio area.

Here is the roof before:

And after the installation of the new “block-out” opaque white fabric membrane:

Fabric Version 2: opaque white "block-out" architectural PVC

Of course the client received the benefit of Shades’ “real” warranty service, although was happy to pay just a few bucks more to up-grade to the opaque fabric.
And what did he have to say?

“I really appreciate the friendly way you’ve honoured this (warranty) commitment and given the opportunity to undertake an upgrade”.
