Our approach is based on ensuring that fabrics maintain their original properties: vivid colors, uniform texture, and pleasant feel, preventing discoloration, structural deterioration, or loss of softness caused by prolonged exposure to solar radiation. With this treatment, Alonso Mercader textiles become high-performance technical solutions, ideal for projects that require reliability, durability, and impeccable aesthetics.

UV resistance refers to a fabric’s ability to withstand prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays without degrading or losing its physical or aesthetic properties. Without this protection, textiles can suffer problems such as:

 

  • Discoloration and loss of color intensity, affecting the overall aesthetics of the project.
  • Weakening of the fiber structure, which reduces mechanical strength and causes premature wear.
  • Alteration of the feel and softness, compromising user comfort.

 

At Alonso Mercader, we apply UV resistance treatments that reinforce the structure of the fabrics, ensuring that each fiber retains its integrity and functionality in the face of solar radiation. This ensures that textiles maintain their appearance and performance, even after prolonged periods in the sun or in environments with direct exposure to natural light.

UV resistance finishing offers fundamental advantages for projects that require durability and protection from solar radiation:

 

  • Effective protection against UV rays: prevents fabric degradation and keeps colors and finishes intact.
  • Increased durability: extends the life of textiles by protecting them from deterioration caused by the sun.
  • Aesthetic preservation: ensures that colors remain vivid and the texture of the fabric remains uniform.
  • Comfort and convenience: fabrics do not overheat or lose their softness, ensuring pleasant and safe use.
  • Savings in maintenance and replacement: by reducing damage from sun exposure, it decreases the need for frequent replacements.
  • Versatile application: suitable for upholstery, panels, coverings, and technical furniture, both indoors and outdoors.

 

This treatment turns any fabric into a reliable, high-performance solution, providing safety, comfort, and durability in applications where sunlight is a critical factor.

Alonso Mercader’s UV resistance treatment is designed to maintain the performance and aesthetics of textiles in conditions of direct sun exposure, including:

 

  • Technical upholstery for interiors and exteriors: sofas, armchairs, chairs, and technical furniture that retain their color, texture, and soft feel.
  • Technical panels and coverings exposed to sunlight: surfaces that require resistance to radiation and durability, ensuring a uniform and attractive finish.
  • Furniture and spaces subject to intensive use and exposure to sunlight: extends the fabric’s useful life and maintains a professional appearance, even in environments with constant sunlight.

 

The treatment ensures that textiles maintain their optimal performance, offering a more reliable user experience and reducing concerns about deterioration or loss of quality.
