At Sauleda, we go one step further by offering our customers comprehensive shading solutions, this time launching the new Tensilock range of stainless steel fittings for tensioned fabrics. This comprehensive range of fittings is specially designed to ensure the stability and durability of outdoor shading installations of any size.

In many sun protection, textile architecture or outdoor installation projects, the fabric is only one part of the system. The quality of the fittings and fastenings is just as crucial to ensuring the safety, durability and stability of the installation.

Sauleda Tensilock, a range of 316 stainless steel fittings designed to work with technical fabrics in demanding applications, where strength, reliability and aesthetics are essential.

What is Tensilock?

Tensilock is Sauleda's new line of fastening and tensioning components, manufactured in 316 stainless steel, also called nautical stainless steel, as it is widely used in boat and wet outdoor applications due to its high resistance to corrosion.

These fittings are designed to be easily integrated with the most commonly used technical fabrics in solar protection projects or tensile textile architecture, for example:

  • Masacril® (mass-tinted acrylic)
  • Technical PVC
  • Commercial 95
  • Soltis
  • Other fabrics with similar characteristics

This compatibility allows the creation of complete systems where fabric and hardware work as a whole, facilitating safe, durable and visually harmonious installations.

316 Stainless Steel: The Nautical Stainless Steel

Stainless steel 316 stands out for its high resistance to corrosion, even in humid environments such as coastal areas, swimming pools or boats. For this reason it is known as Nautical Stainless Steel.

Thanks to these properties, Tensilock offers:

  • Superior corrosion protection
  • High structural stability
  • Long-term durability
  • Reliable, maintenance-free fastening

These characteristics make it a particularly suitable solution for installations in:

  • Swimming pools, beaches, ports, harbors, piers
  • Terraces and outdoor spaces
  • Boats and nautical facilities
  • Outdoor textile architecture

In this type of environment, where humidity or salinity can affect other materials, 316 stainless steel guarantees a much longer service life.
