Five reasons to have your boat tent cleaned and impregnated regularly

Extension of lifespan. Dirt, algae and moss can accumulate on the surface and lead to discoloration and deterioration of the tent canvas. This contamination is removed by having your boat tent cleaned regularly. With an impregnation treatment we apply a protective layer to the cloth, so that new contamination has less chance.

Protection against water, moisture and UV radiation : By having your boat tent impregnated, it is protected against external influences such as water, moisture and UV radiation. This helps to strengthen the material of your boat tent and extend its lifespan.

Reduction of discoloration : Regular cleaning of your boat tent can help prevent discoloration, so your boat always looks neat.

Easier to keep clean : By impregnating the boat tent , dirt is less likely to be attracted and the tent is easier to keep clean.

Improving hygiene: By regularly cleaning the boat tent , life on board becomes more hygienic. This is especially important when living on the boat often (with food or drinks).

Why is it important to have your awning cleaned and impregnated?

Beautiful, fresh appearance : regularly cleaning and impregnating the awning ensures a nicer appearance and a refreshed appearance.

Improved water repellency : regular impregnation ensures improved water repellency of the tent. This means the water drains better and the tent dries faster.

Extending the lifespan : Cleaning removes dirt and stains that can affect the tent canvas, while impregnating applies a water and dirt-repellent layer to the canvas and protects it against moisture. This increases the fabric's resistance to wear and thus extends its lifespan.

Protection against weather influences : the coating we apply protects the awning against rain, wind, dirt and UV radiation.

Easier storage : If the awning is clean and impregnated, it is easier to store. This way your awning will remain in good condition for longer.

Five reasons to have sails cleaned and impregnated

Extension of lifespan
By regularly cleaning and impregnating you extend the lifespan of your sails . You protect the tarpaulin against aging : this means they wear out less quickly and retain their strength .

Protection against friction
When sailing, friction can occur between the sails and the hardware, such as the winches and pulleys. Friction can lead to wear . By regularly cleaning and impregnating the sails, you protect them against friction.

Reduction of pollution
Sails can quickly become dirty due to rain, sun, salt water, and other environmental factors. Regular cleaning keeps the sails in good condition.

Improvement of aerodynamics :
Dirty and unprotected sails are less efficient at catching the wind. By regularly cleaning and impregnating , you increase the aerodynamic efficiency of your sails.

Improving the appearance Clean and impregnated sails look better and that reflects on your entire boat. This is certainly important if you plan to sell or rent out your boat.
