Robust and made to measure

Buitink Technology designs and manufactures customized shade cloth systems. Our made-to-measure sunscreens and shade cloths provide sun protection solutions in commercial applications where standard products fall short.

Our shade cloth systems fold in or out like a concertina and are constructed using fabric, stainless steel cables, aluminum tubes, pull cords and pulleys.

If you are happy with a standard solution offering a limited service life, then we are not the company you’re looking for. If, however, you need a robust, high-quality shade cloth system that is tailor-made to suit your business requirements, and wholly manufactured in the Netherlands, then you’ve come to exactly the right place.

Shade Cloth materials

For our commercial Shade Cloth systems, we use high-quality sunscreen materials from European manufacturers such as Serge Ferrari.

We can produce shade cloth systems in mesh fabrics that provide sun protection and UV resistance while offering a very long service life.

Examples of sunlight-reflecting mesh sheets can be found on our website:

Frontside View 381

Soltis Horizon 86

Soltis Perform 92

In certain cases, is also possible to fit non-porous, waterproof fabric. You can find information about this type of cloth on our website:

Soltis Proof 502

Complete package: including structural elements

In addition to the sunscreen fabrics, we supply the whole system comprising stainless steel cables, pulleys, guide rails, pull cords and tubes.

The shade cloth system comes as a ready to assemble kit that you can install yourself. We can of course carry out or supervise the whole assembly process for you.
