At Smart Ikhaya, we believe that knowledge is power — especially when it comes to choosing the right materials for your projects. Whether you’re a tent manufacturer, upholsterer, automotive trimmer, or outdoor enthusiast, having access to detailed product information is crucial to ensuring that your projects turn out exactly how you envision. That’s why we provide datasheets for most of our fabrics.

Where to find datasheets? Each product page has a link/s to their relevant product sheet. Alternatively contact us.

Here’s why these datasheets are so important:

1. Make Informed Decisions

When it comes to choosing fabric, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Different fabrics are suited to different applications, and having access to detailed specifications helps you make the right choice. Our datasheets include key information such as weight (GSM), composition, colour options, and technical properties like UV resistance, water resistance, and durability.

This means that whether you’re using ripSMART ripstop for outdoor gear or tarpSMART PVC for a tarpaulin or pool cover or coverSMART for seat covers or boat covers, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting.

2. Understand Fabric Performance

Choosing the wrong fabric can result in product failure — and nobody wants that. Our datasheets provide you with the performance characteristics of each fabric, helping you determine how it will perform under specific conditions. For example:

• Water resistance: Is the fabric suitable for outdoor use in rainy conditions?
• UV protection: How well will the fabric withstand exposure to sunlight?
• Tensile strength: Will the fabric hold up under stress and tension?

With these insights, you can rest assured that your project will stand up to the challenges it faces, whether it’s a caravan cover exposed to sun or a tarpaulin that needs to endure harsh weather.

3. Enhance Fabric Customization

When working with specific client needs or customized projects, having the exact specifications on hand makes the process smoother. Whether you’re tailoring the fabric’s size, colour, or fit, our datasheets give you the exact details you need to make informed decisions.

For example, our tarpSMART PVC comes in multiple GSM options (550, 600, 700, 800), each suited for different levels of strength and flexibility. If you’re working on a lightweight tarpaulin for a quick event or a heavy-duty cover for industrial use, our datasheets will help you select the right fabric.

4. Save Time and Minimize Errors

Rather than guessing or relying on broad descriptions, datasheets allow you to quickly verify that you have the right fabric for the task at hand. By having the specifications in front of you, you save time on research and eliminate the risk of ordering incorrect materials.
