Ufabrik Water and Airtight Tent Textile took centre stage at the recent Formula 1 event at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix and one of the most iconic motorsports venues in the world. It was the material of choice for the manufacture of several event gazebos that conjured the visual energy and excitement of an F1 workshop.
Each gazebo featured detailed high resolution graphics of an F1 workshop, providing an immersive experience for attendees. Specifically designed for outdoor use, this project showcases why the media is trusted by brands for the high quality production of tents, pavilions, marquees, gazebos, and canopies.
The gazebos were printed using an EFI Vutek FabriVU 340 dye sublimation printer and a Klieverik calendar press by Colourgraphics, based in Walsall, West Midlands, UK.
Th substrate offers a combination of specifications. Its 350 g/m2/10oz woven heavyweight yarn is highly engineered to withstand the elements, which at pre-fixation can resist a column of water that is 2000 mm high before water will begin to penetrate. Post fixation water resistant levels are 1200 mm.
This textile is also characterised by a Lotus effect composition that repels moisture, keeping structures dry and secure. Available in 126” (3.2 metres) and up to a length of 109 yards, it is PVC free, reflecting a commitment to sustainability whilst ensuring strength and durability.
Ufabrik meets rigorous safety standards and fire retardant certifications including Californian Administrative Code Title 19, Section 1237; EN13501, and NFPA 701. This makes it a trusted choice for both indoor and outdoor environments where safety is paramount.
Tailored for both direct to textile and paper transfer dye sublimation printing, it delivers outstanding colour quality and 92% opacity, ensuring that graphics are vivid and impactful. Its structure was designed specifically for tents, marquees, and gazebos, providing certified and reliable visual appeal for commercial applications.
PVC free and REACH compliant, the media is designed with sustainability in mind. It is also recyclable, aligning with event organisers that prioritise sustainability goals and low environmental impact. Once an event wraps up, the tent material can be easily stored for future use, repurposed or recycled, minimizing waste sent to landfills.
