When it comes to performance, this covering guarantees durability, combined with special internal structures made from breathable and anti-mould material. The colour options are defined at the production stage – the extrusion of the yarn – and guarantees maximum light tightness. The subsequent work processes render first the fibre and then the fabric fireproof and suitable for outdoors. Every Place is therefore ideal for indoor and outdoor use. It can be used beside swimming pools, on boats and in all damp areas, withstanding all weather conditions. Colours range from white to black, by way of neutral shades such as sand and pearl, to natural hues such as moss, sky blue and cobalt up to bright red. Finally, the feel is at once irregular, three dimensional and soft, designed to ensure a high level of comfort. Highlight content
