Hotels and restaurants today face the challenge of offering their guests not only unique indoor spaces, but also appealing and comfortable outdoor areas. The same also applies to the private sector, of course.
Selecting the right materials plays a decisive role in creating a harmonious combination of aesthetic design and practical functionality. In this respect, Sattler has established itself as a leading manufacturer of high-quality textiles, offering an impressive range of fabrics that meets the exacting demands for durability and aesthetic diversity.
Functional elegance for every outdoor area
Sattler is one of the world's leading producers of functional outdoor solar shading textiles, and is known for combining unique design with an exceptional range of functions.

Fabrics in the main application for awnings and pergolas combine protection from the whims of nature with aesthetic sophistication. The wide range of designs makes it possible not only to protect the outdoor area from the sun and rain (specific products are applied for use in the rain), but also to create a cosy atmosphere at the same time.
On sunshades and awnings
Solar shading such as sunshades and awnings are indispensable outdoor elements that not only provide protection from the sun, but also serve as a design element. Acrylic fabrics are the preferred materials when it comes to manufacturing sunshades and awnings due to their UV resistance and durability. Thanks to the spun-dyed acrylic yarn used in production, the fabrics have a particularly long service life without any visual changes or loss of valuable technical values. The wide range of colours and the possibility of customisation make it possible to integrate solar shading harmoniously into the overall concept of the outdoor area.
The fabrics are also characterised by their ease of care. The sunshades retain their quality even with intensive use and under different weather conditions. This makes them an investment that is not only attractive, but also offers reliable function over a long period of time.
Resistant and environmentally friendly
The high durability of the fabrics means that consumers will be able to enjoy their Sattler/Outdura fabrics for a long time. This not only reduces the need for replacement materials, but also the ecological footprint. Since autumn 2023, the Graz-based company has been finishing its awnings and upholstery fabrics without using PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These belong to a group of non-degradable chemicals which can accumulate in the environment and within the human body. Thanks to the company's approach, they are completely excluded from the production of Sattler solar shading and upholstery textiles.

This represents a huge step towards sustainability for future generations. In addition, all Sattler products are certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, and the company's processes according to Oeko-Tex STeP. This means Sattler is permitted to apply the Oeko-Tex Made in Green label to its products.
This label provides proof that the textiles have been manufactured in environmentally friendly facilities under safe and socially responsible working conditions, and that textile production is subject to strict chemical management. The fabrics therefore offer a sustainable solution for hotels and restaurants, who not only value quality but also environmental awareness.
