Product Features

  • Flame retardantOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. A flame-retardant formulation for fabricators supplying projects with defined fire-behaviour requirements. Select the grade around the test method required for the finished application.
  • BlockoutOptionalAvailable as an optional configuration. Restricts light passing through the fabric for roof, curtain or cover panels that need an opaque finish and greater control of the light behind the surface.

Three Layers Form One Composite

The two PVC films and internal polyester fabric are distinct parts of DLT-5202. Its 500gsm and 0.43mm values describe the finished composite, while the 1000D and 20×20 entries describe the reinforcing base. Sample evaluation can address their bond separately from seam strength. Keeping those measurements separate makes comparisons more useful than judging a sidewall sheet by its surface thickness alone.

Finishing the Selected Laminate

The selected surface should be agreed before artwork, joins or edge details are trialled. DLT-5202 lists glossy and matte faces, custom colours and an optional extra blockout layer. These are configuration choices within the material specification. Use a retained sample to identify the version approved for fabrication, including its light transmission and surface appearance. Any required fire classification should be supported by the appropriate product evidence.

Application requirements — Tent Roofs & Sidewalls

Specify the covered span, panel dimensions, support arrangement, installed tension and exposure. Review tensile and tear properties, coating adhesion, seam performance and the reinforcement around edges and attachment points. Set weathering, cleaning and fire-behaviour requirements around the finished structure and destination; the fabric data sheet does not establish structural wind or snow capacity.

Finished Frame-Tent Configurations

Roof covers are made to the tent frame and its bay spacing. Overall tent dimensions do not equal the flat cutting dimensions of a roof panel.

Finished-Product Configuration Examples
SpecificationConfiguration
Small Frame-Tent Span Examples4 m, 5 m, 8 m or 10 m
Bay Spacing Examples3 m or 5 m, depending on the frame series
Overall LengthRepeated bays; confirm the minimum assembly and any end-bay changes for the selected frame
Side Height ExamplesApproximately 2.3 m or 3 m in modular event-tent configurations
Roof ArrangementSeparate roof, gable and sidewall panels fitted to the frame geometry
Roof-Edge ConnectionKeder edges retained in frame channels; bead and channel dimensions must match
Sidewall ArrangementDivided wall panels, with ground bars or the selected frame system's bottom restraint
Site DesignConfirm frame anchoring, drainage and the complete structure's wind and snow requirements before fabrication

Construction Details

Keder Edge And Frame Channel

The fabric edge carries a bead that slides into the frame channel. Specify the finished bead diameter and edge construction from the actual profile drawing.

Roof Panel And Bay Layout

A roof panel follows the pitch between frame members. Its finished length includes the attachment and tensioning details; fabric-roll width alone cannot define the cover size.

Discuss the application.

For PVC laminated fabric rolls, provide sidewall dimensions, opening details and the finish and blockout configuration needed for sample review.

PVC Laminated Fabric: Understanding the Sidewall Sheet

DLT-5202 is PVC laminated fabric with a polyester base enclosed by PVC film on both faces. Its listed construction uses 1000D reinforcement with a 20×20 fabric specification. The complete sheet is 500gsm and 0.43mm thick. The textile core reinforces the panel, and the flexible film layers create its exposed surfaces.

The stated lamination/coating technology should be read with the three-layer laminated structure. In lamination, the interfaces between film and textile are part of the finished material. Adhesion at those interfaces differs from the strength of a fabricated overlap seam. A useful sample review therefore considers both the original sheet and representative joins made by the sidewall fabricator.

A glossy or matte finish can be selected with a custom colour. These choices affect how a sidewall looks in daylight and under event lighting, while an extra blockout layer is a separate available option. Confirm the ordered build if controlling transmitted light is important. Custom fire-performance requirements also need to be matched to evidence for the proposed material configuration.

DLT-5202 is listed in 50m rolls, in widths from 1.05m to 3.2m. Sidewall patterns should allow for openings, edge pockets and seam allowances without losing the fabric-direction reference. Evaluate the proposed material alongside the sidewall attachment design and folding routine. Those details connect a flat laminate to the panel that will be installed and handled.
