USES AND LIMITATIONS OF THIS GUIDE


This Technical Guide is a summary of the expertise developed by Dickson-
Constant with input from various specialists in the textile sector. Its aim is to
facilitate your use of our product.

The machines and tools mentioned in this guide as well as similar equipment and
suggested settings can be used to manufacture solar protection devices using
INFINITY fabric.

The information in this guide was obtained through tests of the various techniques
carried out by our manufacturers. It may be revised if the machines are updated
with technological modifications.

It is the responsibility of each manufacturer of finished products to carry out their


own tests (prototypes) to ensure proper implementation of the fabric and smooth
functioning of the complete system. Manufacturers must provide their customers
with all the warranties for the finished product.

Dickson shall not be held liable for quality claims related to manufacturing defects
that are potentially related to the materials and machines suggested in this guide.
I. Main characteristics
DESCRIPTION

INFINITY is a 100% solution-dyed acrylic fabric; this yarn enjoys remarkable


resistance to aging, both in terms of maintaining mechanical resistance over time,
and colourfastness, regardless of weather conditions (sun and rain).

INFINITY benefits from a yarn with a high level of stability strengthened by a high-
resistance weave that ensures even weft and warp elongation.

Warp and weft resistance is 115 daN/5cm according to EN13934-1

Elongation after 30 minutes under a 25kg load/5cm is 4% in both directions.

INFINITY can therefore be used in either direction.

In the warp direction (classic direction), it can mounted as panels, each up to 320
cm wide.

INFINITY is most effective when used in the weft (cross) direction): available in
320 cm width, it is suitable for very wide awnings, with an overhang of +/- 300
cm, in a single panel (no seam).

The absence of seams (except for the “upper" and “lower" hems) prevents
increased thickness on winding and limits distortion such as waffling. In addition,
the number of manufacturing operations is greatly reduced, offering a significant
cost advantage.

The fabric can be welded on condition that a “weld seam" is used.

Available in 15 colours with outstanding UV resistance, it is particularly suited for


outdoor use.

CERTIFICATIONS AND LABELS

 INFINITY is OEKOTEX certified. This label attests that the chemical products
used to produce INFINITY are not harmful and, to the best of our knowledge, are
safe for the user. They comply with REACH legislation.
 INFINITY's solar factors (heat and light transmission) are listed in our
technical sales brochures; contact Dickson for technical support.
II. Delivery
a) Packaging

The fabric is wound on a tube and protected from ambient dust by a plastic film.
At both ends, the sides are protected by square cardboard protection, revealing
the end of the tube. The product is packaged in a cardboard box adjusted to its
diameter, and semi-enclosed at both ends. The tube is purposely left apparent
at the box ends. The cardboard box is strengthened with ties.

b) Labelling - Traceability

Each piece is identified with one label affixed to one end of the cardboard box.
This label mentions the item’s reference number, length, width and the
locations of any flaws.

A unique matriculation number is included on the label to fully identify the item
and ensure the traceability of its manufacturing process. It can be used to
analyse any non-compliance of the product. It is also required for any claims to
be processed.

A non-glued copy of the label is placed inside the tube.


c) Handling

The fabric should never be dragged on the floor, even while still in its
cardboard box.
Note that the opening of the tube is accessible on each side of the piece; this allows for the use of a lifting
device (spur) to easily move the piece.

It is also important to prevent accidental impacts (from the fork of a hoisting

device for example) and undesirable denting (from pallet risers).

The fabric may be positioned horizontally during transport.

Never fold the fabric under any circumstances.

d) Storage

The fabric must be stored at a temperature of between 5 and 40°C and away
from sunlight.

The roll must be positioned horizontally and not vertically. It is best to store the
fabric in its cardboard packaging.

Never fold the fabric under any circumstances.


III. Final use
INFINITY fabric is intended mainly for folding-arm awnings and shade sails.

It is also suitable for fixed awnings, Dutch canopies, drop-arm awnings,


conservatory blinds, vertical blinds (potentially with a zipper guide) and
sunshades.

Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring, in particular by creating one or


more prototypes, that they can actually use the fabric for the applications they
have selected, and after verification, that this application corresponds to
Dickson Constant’s recommendation.

Regardless of the application in which the fabric is used, it should never be


folded.
IV. To be determined before cutting
a) Which side should face the sun? And which should face the interior?

The two sides of your INFINITY fabric are identical. However, the manufacturing
process can create minute visual differences, barely detectable by a trained eye,
and depending on the angle of observation.

To avoid differences, during production, the same side of two adjacent panels
should always face the sun. They should be cut in the same direction in relation
to the unrolling of the piece.

b) Direction (warp or weft?)

For each type of winding awning or solar protection in general, it is necessary to


establish the maximum dimensions according to the guiding system’s roller
tubes. These can affect the tensions (which must be adjusted to optimise the
quality of the winding). Using a roller tube with a large diameter is the easiest
way to limit the appearance of folds and breakage.

Considering the large dimensions that are possible, the width of the work table
must be at least 325 cm. Before cutting the fabric, the manufacturer must
determine which cutting direction will be adopted (WARP or WEFT).

We recommend using INFINITY in the WEFT (cross) direction.

Indeed, the 320 cm width makes it possible to produce awnings in a single


panel, without assembly (see I. Main characteristics)

This prevents increased thickness usually caused by assembly.

If, as explained below, the cut is sufficiently high in quality to avoid the use of
the hems (and increased thickness), the fabric has the same thickness over its
entire surface.
This reduces distortions in the fabric caused by waffling, for example, to a
minimum.

Note that a sufficiently large winding tube, and a straight structure, will
enhance the appearance of your INFINITY fabric, preserving its unique benefits.

Lastly, since manufacturing requirements are limited, productivity levels tend to


be higher.

WARP production is technically possible; for this type of production, please refer
to the ORCHESTRA fabric production instructions.

c) Dimensions

Our experience shows that large-scale installations (600cm in width with 300cm
overhang) are possible with two arms. It may be necessary to make a prototype
to test the technical feasibility and determine the parameters for creation and
assembly of the device. A larger number of arms may be necessary. Dickson is at
your service to help you with this process.

d) Guidance systems

INFINITY fabric is suitable for any type of system: drop-arm awning or vertical
awning with cable guide, profile guide or continuous lateral guide (zipper).

When creating a continuous lateral guide, it is important to pay special attention


to the desired size of the final product and to take this into account in the
cutting plan. This requires highly precise measurements, down to the last
millimetre.
V. Cutting
a) Procedure

Ultrasonic cutting is recommended for INFINITY fabric; without this technique,


INFINITY may fray at the two lateral edges (normally manufactured without
hems). With this technique, the fabric is simultaneously cut and cauterised.

An alternative could be laser cutting, although this must be done very carefully
to prevent fraying.

b) Suggestions for appropriate machines

Some ultrasonic cutting machine manufacturers: SMRE (SM 300.TA or SM


400.TA), Miller (CS-112), Sinclair (Triad), Jentschmann (Weldsonic), ASCO and
MATIC (M1 Ultimate).

M1 ULTIMATE (ultrasonic cutting and crush-cut in two directions; glass table up to 300x600 cm)

Some generator manufacturers: Calemard (G3-C), Novus (3,150W), DelphinUS;


there are also many portable generators on the market.

Laser cutting is possible on EUROLASER's 3XL-3200, which offers 200W laser


power.
3XL – 3200 EUROLASER

A portable hot-cutting machine, for example by ENGEL-COUPE, is worth


considering: it makes non-rectilinear cutting easier (such as for strengthening
pieces; see VI. c)

c) Parametres

Ultrasonic knife cutting typically involves an ultrasound frequency of around 40


Hz; the product rolling rate is generally between 20 and 25 m/min.

The operator must ensure that the fabric is cut perfectly square— this is essential
to avoid winding problems once the product is installed.

You will find the essential cutting technique information in the appended Product
Manufacturers’ Guide.
VI. Manufacturing = “weft” with
“upper” and “lower” hems
In theory, panel assembly and the addition of lateral seams are not required if
INFINITY is made in the weft (cross) direction).

Only the “upper" and “lower" hems are required; since they are very much in
demand, sewing is standard practice, but, theoretically, welding (with weld
seam) is possible provided that the manufacturer can guarantee the durability of
the weld over time.

If you still wish to use INFINITY in the warp direction, please refer to the
ORCHESTRA technical guides.

a) Sewing

For “upper" and “lower" hems (weft production), we recommend sewing. We


use a Serafil 30, Saba 35, Rasant 25, Serafil WR (Amann) or Gütermann 80 type
yarn. The needle will be SEPI or SD1 (Schmetz) type.

Double selvedge stitching Dürkopp-Adler sewing machine


b) Lateral edges

Example 1

Ultrasound or laser cutting are usually good quality and prevent fraying.

It is not necessary to strengthen the cut either using an adhesive or lateral hem;
these would increase the thickness and the risk of distortion (waffling) which
INFINITY reduces or prevents entirely.

Example 2

Although the quality of the cut is good, as a precaution, it is best to strengthen


the lateral edges using a hot-melt adhesive to prevent early fraying.

You may use Gluetex VB11010 (10 mm wide) or another similar adhesive tape.
Tape welding should preferably be carried out by ultrasound, but other standard
processes (hot air, thermal pulse, etc.) are also possible.

Example 3

If examples 1 and 2 do not apply, it is still possible to strengthen the lateral


edges using a "classic" lateral hem; the hem width is generally 25 to 40 mm, and
gives a satisfactory result.

However, the increased thickness of the hems may cause slight distortions along
the lateral edges.
c) Lower fabric corners

When making lateral edges without hems, the tension of the fabric, especially
the selvedges, must be firmly adjusted to prevent sagging.
In rare cases, tension in the lower corners of the “lower" hem may be high
enough to create a tear in the fabric.
The solution is to strengthen the two lower corners with a piece (usually
triangular) in order to prevent the start of a tear at the seam.
Care must be taken when strengthening the fabric to avoid free angles, which
are most vulnerable to tearing, and to maintain the aesthetic. Sewing and
laminating are also possibilities.

You will find the essential assembly technical information in the appended
Product Manufacturers’ Guide.
VII. Quality control on assembly
The quality of the assembly must be evaluated as follows:

 Assembly of the product under the specific operating conditions


established by the manufacturer: machine, width, temperature, pressure,
speed; if applicable, the reference of the adhesive tape.
 Cutting of a sufficient number of test pieces, at least 30 cm long and 50
mm wide in a perpendicular direction to the assembly.
 Traction on the test pieces until they break according to standard EN
13934.

INSTRON “3000 series” dynamometre (Dickson Quality Laboratory)

 Examination of the test strip: if it breaks elsewhere than at the assembly


point, or loses lamination in its thickness, this is important and often
positive information
 Recording of the strength and lengthening of the test strip up to breakage
 Comparison of the breakage force with the table below:

50 daN/5cm limit; needs optimisation


60 daN/5cm acceptable in general
70 daN/5cm satisfactory
80 daN/5cm excellent
VIII. Printing
Both sides of INFINITY fabric can be printed on, but only using screen printing
or transfer techniques: the printer must check the quality of the printing ahead
of time.
Inkjet printing is not recommended because of its very pale appearance.

Once the fabric has been processed, INFINITY’s original environmental


characteristics (Oekotek certification) can no longer be guaranteed by Dickson.
IX. Installation
a) Installation direction (oriented towards or away from the sun)

As mentioned in paragraph I, INFINITY has two similar sides. Either side may be
turned towards the sun. Side selection should reflect the manufacturer’s
requirements.

However, if two INFINITY fabrics of the same colour are to be installed


immediately next to each other, the manufacturer and the installer shall jointly
ensure that the two fabrics have been produced in the same direction with
respect to the orientation of the fabric in the roll. This will prevent unusual or
unpredictable optical differences between the two awnings.

b) Contact with the other parts of the system

INFINITY fabric must also be protected from rubbing against the structure on
which it is installed. Tension must be maintained to prevent any points of contact
with the various parts of the structure. This prevents premature deterioration
and loss of watertightness.

c) Roller tubes

If the finished product is a winding structure, the INFINITY fabric will be


manufactured and carefully fitted around the roller tube. This tube must be of a
sufficient diameter and quality so that it does not sag with use. A large diameter
is favourable to the winding of the fabric. The fabric’s tension and “end stops”
must be adjusted.

The final application (pergola, vertical awning, folding-arm awning, etc.) must of
course be taken into account to establish the dimensions and quality of the
tubes.

d) Guides

If a lateral guidance system (zipper) is used, tension on the product must be


limited or eliminated during manufacture; cutting must be performed by
ultrasound depending on the cutting plan, or very carefully with a rotating knife.
Experience shows that the following steps, performed in this order, should
optimise the product's final appearance:

• “upper”, “lower”, and lateral (ultrasound) cutting


• “upper” and “lower” sewing
• “zip” welding (thermal pulse, or HF, for example).

e) Poles

If INFINITY fabric is affixed to one or more poles, or if tensioners are used, the
creation of eyelets should be considered. The fabric will be reinforced by a hem
(minimum of two folds); the diameter of the eyelets will be from 1 to 3 cm;
particular attention should be paid to ensure that there is enough space
between the eyelet and the edge of the fabric (minimum of 1 cm).

The eyelets used must be suitable for outdoor use (stainless steel) to prevent the
formation of rust on the fabric. Moreover, the eyelet must be guaranteed
waterproof to prevent any risk of capillarity of water to the fabric.

f) Profiles

To create a pergola, the manufacturer should try to assemble a PVC profile on


one side of the INFINITY fabric. Ultrasound (JENTSCHMANN) assembly with
hot-melt adhesive strips (GLUETEX) is possible. Liquid glue (MILLER
WELDMASTER machines) may also be used.

g) Slopes

There should be a slight slope to evacuate water so that it does not stagnate on
the fabric. For a folding-arm awning, the slope must not be less than 14° unless
the manufacturer of the entire finished system specifically recommends
otherwise.

In the event of rain, and if the system is windable/retractable, be sure that the
fabric is dry before winding it. If you retract it while it is wet, for fear of damage
from the wind for example, unwind it again as soon as possible so it can dry.
X. Maintenance
a) Mechanical resistance and colourfastness

INFINITY is a fabric that fully meets all demands made upon fabric as expressed
in standard EN 13561, paragraph 4.14.2.

The fabric’s resistance to breakage is among the highest on the market and
remains at levels above 100daN/5cm (warp) and 60 daN/5m (weft), even after
several years of use. INFINITY is therefore Class 4 (the best) as defined by
standard EN 13561 in terms of this criteria.

INFINITY fabrics have Class 4 colourfastness, the highest according to standard


EN 13561.

The other paragraphs of standard EN 13561 concern the finished product as a


whole (fabric, frame, motor, mounting parts, etc.); only the manufacturer of the
complete finished product can attest to its full compliance with standard EN
13561, but optimal conditions are achieved when INFINITY fabric is used.

b) Recommendations for use

Given the detailed information in the previous paragraph, Dickson fabrics have
all the necessary characteristics for outdoor use. You should not encounter any
particular problems if you follow the detailed recommendations set forth in the
INFINITY Maintenance and Warranty Guide.

• The frame of your awning must be configured in such a way that the fabric is
completely taut and does not rub against or have other contact with the
structure.
• Do not leave the awning extended in high winds.
• You may keep the awning open in the rain but, if wet, do not retract it for
long periods. If you need to retract your damp awning, extent your awning
again as soon as possible to dry out the fabric.

The fabric must be cleaned following the directions detailed in the INFINITY
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the end user has received the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
XI. Warranty
To be able to make a claim based on the Dickson warranty, you must have
followed the detailed recommendations in this technical guide as well as the
INFINITY Maintenance and Warranty Guide. Do not hesitate to refer to this
guide.

It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the end user has received the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
XII. Miscellaneous questions
• Can I obtain CE marking for my complete finished product made with
INFINITY fabric?

YES, the use of INFINITY fabric makes it possible to be in compliance with


chapter 4.14.2 of standard EN 13561 and to achieve the best possible
conditions for the finished awning to receive CE marking.

• Does INFINITY fabric have the CE marking?

CE marking is not granted to fabrics. Only a completely finished awning can


have CE marking, provided that it complies with standard EN 13561.

• Is INFINITY compliant with the wind resistance chapter of standard EN


13561?

INFINITY is a fabric; fabrics are covered in chapter 4.14.2 of standard EN


13561 which concerns the intrinsic properties of the fabric. The other
chapters, in particular the one on “wind resistance”, apply only to complete
finished awnings: fabric, frame, motor, mounting, etc.

• How does standard EN 13561 apply to INFINITY?


It applies to the fabric’s behaviour as it ages in terms of breakage resistance,
colourfastness and elongation under a constant load

Breakage resistance: INFINITY has a high initial mechanical resistance (155


daN/5cm in warp and weft direction). The decline in resistance of an acrylic
fabric such as INFINITY does not exceed 3% a year, unlike cheaper polyester
fabrics.

Colourfastness: colourfastness values range from 0 to 4; INFINITY is graded


level 4 colourfastness, meaning that no major fading is detected after 4 years
of exposure in the south of France. The excellence of INFINITY colours is due
to the use of solution-dyed yarn.
• What is the open weave coefficient of my INFINITY fabric?

INFINITY’s open weave coefficient is 0%, meaning that air and water cannot
pass through the fabric, within a certain limit expressed by the "water
column" (see Technical Data Sheets).

• How can I find out the gtot of my INFINITY fabric?

This value may be obtained from Dickson. It is calculated by Dickson


according to the following factors:

- spectrophotometric measurements taken in an independent accredited


laboratory

- calculations in line with the recommendations of standards EN 410, EN


14500, EN 14501 and EN 13363-1, in combination with a standardised “C”
glazing

If detailed explanations are necessary, do not hesitate to contact Dickson

• Do I have to choose a light or dark colour to be protected from heat?

If your priority is to be protected from heat, for example if your terrace is


located in a Mediterranean country, choose a darker colour.

• Should I choose a light or dark colour to continue enjoying the light?

If you want to keep sufficient light, for example if your facade faces north or
east, choose a lighter colour.

TECHNICAL ADVICE FOR BLIND MAKING
- INFINITY -

Following devices, or similar equipments, and following values of process parameters, may be used to make blinds with INFINITY. For each type of awning, it is
needed to define maximal dimensions, depending on roller tube and drive systems which may influence strengths (these must be adjusted to get an optimized
winding). Taking this information into account, THE MAIN ATTRIBUTE OF INFINITY IS TO BE EASILY MADE-UP IN WEFT DIRECTION (CROSS-
DIRECTION) IN ONE PANEL THANKS TO ITS SQUARE STRUCTURE AND ITS 320 CM WIDTH AVAILABILITY. Each maker must manage his own tests to
assure right proceeding of systems, and final product guarantee.

WEFT (cross-direction) : this is the ultimate solution to make an awning in only one
panel, and limit the distorsion. Making-up is also reduced. Taking into account width of
LAYING DIRECTION the fabric, awning projection will be able to reach +/- 300 cm

WARP direction is possible ; for making-up in this direction, refer to "ORCHESTRA Technical Advice for Blind
Making"

CUTTING SUGGESTIONS
Information below is essentially applicable for lateral edges of the awning ; they must be very carefully cut.
Cutting of upper and lower edges (designed for "pockets") may be made as usual, more traditional, as these pockets show an hem which will automatically block out
fraying.

MAKING SIDE EDGES SUGGESTIONS

SCENARIO 1 HIGH QUALITY OF CUTTING IS ENOUGH TO STOP FRAYING

This is the case if cutting is made as recommended, through ultrasonic process or laser process (see above) ; no hems, no strenghtening needed ; no additional
thickness, and making of an optimized solar fabric.

SCENARIO 2 EVEN THOUGH CUTTING IS RECOGNIZED AS GOOD, EDGE REINFORCEMENT IS ADVISABLE

After cutting, a strenghtening adhesive tape, 10 mm width, VB11010 type (Gluetex) or similar, can be welded along
the edge, to stop any fraying occurrence

SCENARIO 3 SCENARII 1 & 2 ARE NOT POSSIBLE ; A TRADITIONAL MAKING-UP WITH SIDE HEMS IS MADE.

It is possible to make side hems through sewing ; 25 to 40 mm width ; cross-direction making-up advantage remains, but light distorsions along the hems may occur.

REINFORCEMENT OF LOWER CORNERS (OPTION) SUGGESTIONS

Making very straight side edges may persuade the installer to imply a high strength to the edges. In scenarii 1 et 2,
it may - rarely - happen that this tension promotes a tear of the lower seam, in both corners, left and right. As a
precaution (OPTION), maker could reinforce these 2 corners, doubling them by sewing or other process.
