Frequently Asked Questions
What is All Weather Canvas 300 gsm?
All Weather Canvas 300 gsm is a South African-manufactured, high-tenacity, plain-woven PES/acrylic outdoor fabric supplied in 1.8 m wide rolls. It is coated with pigmented acrylic for superior UV, scratch, and water resistance, while maintaining a softer, premium look and handle.
What is All Weather Canvas 300 gsm best used for?
This fabric is ideal for tent and camper interiors, caravan walls, outdoor furniture covers, custom protective enclosures, and umbrellas. It is specifically engineered for demanding Southern African outdoor conditions. Smart Ikhaya supplies both full 100m rolls and custom cut lengths to suit your project.
Is All Weather Canvas waterproof and mould-resistant?
Yes. The fabric is tested for high water penetration resistance, making it suitable for exposed outdoor use and wet climates. Furthermore, it possesses inherent fungal resistance, ensuring longevity in humid or damp environments when maintained correctly.
Can I use a domestic sewing machine for this fabric?
Yes, the 300 gsm weight is manageable for most heavy-duty domestic sewing machines. We recommend using a sharp needle (size 100/16 or 110/18) and a high-quality UV-resistant polyester thread to ensure strong, long-lasting seams.
Can I request a sample before ordering?
Absolutely. We understand that color and texture are critical for your project. You can request a sample swatch via our WhatsApp link in the section above to ensure the All Weather fabric meets your expectations before committing to a larger order.
How should I maintain my All Weather Canvas?
To prolong the fabric’s life, clean it periodically with mild soap and water using a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or high-pressure washers, which can damage the acrylic coating. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before storing it to prevent trapped moisture.
What are the delivery lead times?
Orders for cut lengths are typically processed and dispatched within 1-2 business days. For bulk 100m roll orders, please allow 3-5 business days for logistics and handling. We will provide tracking details as soon as your fabric leaves our Midrand warehouse.
Do you manufacture the covers, or just supply the fabric?
Smart Ikhaya specializes in the direct supply of premium technical textiles. We provide the raw materials (full 100m rolls and custom cut lengths) to both the public and trade fabricators.
