Transparent plastic. UV-resistant for caravan awnings, tents, windbreaks, boats, boat covers, etc.
Crystal clear. Also very suitable for screening a veranda or terrace. Unmatched technical properties.

Key distinguishing features of this extra-strong transparent tarp

This transparent tarp with a thickness of 0.50mm stands out not only in terms of strength and durability but also due to its truly GLASS-clear properties.
Note: Due to the thickness/robustness, you can only process this 0.50 plastic film with an industrial sewing machine. If you still want to process a thicker film on a household sewing machine (with a strong motor), use the 0.40 film and apply silicone spray to ease the needle. The 0.30 film (also available in our webshop) can be processed at any time on a household machine. SEE OUR CONFECTION VIDEOS BELOW.
We also offer this transparent film in an extra width of 180 cm.

FIRST PROCESSING of the film and AVOID SHRINKAGE

(P.S. Don't forget our double-sided tape, so you can precisely position the film after it has "acclimatized" and sew it. See detailed info below.)

24 hours flat lay
Transparent window film may still stretch or shrink a bit. If a large amount of film needs to be tensioned in one direction, shrinking can become a problem with fluctuating temperatures. If the tarp stays tensioned throughout the year, it will maintain its length and you will notice minimal shrinkage.
Upon receipt: When you receive our window film, the material is freshly rolled. Allow it to "acclimatize" for 24 hours to process any shrinkage or temperature changes. Also, don't forget to use our double-sided tape for precise placement of the film on the fabric/tarp. See the confection videos below.

After extended use:
If the material has been rolled for a long time, the film may shrink slightly with temperature fluctuations and needs to be stretched again. This should not be done by forcing the material back to its original tension. Solution: Keep the material taut so it has no chance to shrink. Do not leave it rolled up all summer. If this is not possible and winter storage is involved, do the following: Make sure the tarp or fabric is hung in a warm room for 24 hours so that the film becomes flexible. Then slowly stretch the material, allowing time for it to expand.
Another practical solution: Use a heater in a closed room to make the transparent film flexible, then slowly tension the film.
