YALA’s quality materials
Quality starts with materials
YALA’s safari tents are crafted from high-quality materials. Our materials are developed together with experts and exceeds in this.
The most important properties in a fabric are;
- The Mildew level. Rated on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 represents the best antifungal qualities
- The Colourfastness Grade. Rated on a scale from 0 to 7, with 7 indicating the highest level of colourfastness
- Tear and Tensile strength
- Weight
Our canvas
The canvas of our safari tents are crafted from premium-quality polyester and polycotton. In collaboration with leading industry experts, we have developed an exclusive, high-performance canvas tailored specifically for our YALA safari tents. Independent ISO testing confirms that our tent fabric surpasses the standard materials commonly used in glamping accommodations.
FPTC 420
This canvas distinguishes itself due to its high quality in combination with its fire-retardant properties.
With the fire-retardant top layers, this canvas has a global fire safety rating and is approved by the NFPA.
| Water-column classification | > 400 mm | the seams are also 100% waterproof |
|---|---|
| Colourfastness | GR6 |
| Mold Value | 0 | the best antifungal qualities available |
| Tear strength | Warp 76N | Weft 53N |
| Tensile strength | Warp 2800N | Weft 2232N |
YK 48
This canvas is a poly-cotton (70-30) canvas. The YK-48 canvas is breathable and has a moisture-regulating effect. A special fabric treatment ensures that we have the best antifungal qualities.
| Water-column classification | 500 mm | the seams are also 100% waterproof |
|---|---|
| Colourfastness | GR6 |
| Mold Value | 0 | the best antifungal qualities available |
| Tear strength | Warp 60N | Weft 50N |
| Tensile strength | Warp 2100N | Weft 1400N |
Roof
PVC
The PVC roof is attached firmly to the structure and held under tension with ratchets and tensioning straps. The roof has a high colourfastness value, the best UV treatment, and is fire-retardant for safe accommodation.
| Water-column classification | > 5000 mm | the seams are also 100% waterproof |
|---|---|
| UV-treatment | value 50+ |
| Colourfastness | higher than GR7 |
| Mold Value | 0 | the best antifungal qualities available |
| Tear strength | Warp 298N | Weft 265N |
| Tensile strength | Warp 2386N | Weft 1753N |
PVDF
The PVDF roof has a longer lifespan than PVC. Additionally, the roof has undergone an extra UV treatment, and thanks to the smooth properties of the PVDF, it is virtually a maintenance-free roof.
| Water-column classification | 10000 mm | the seams are also 100% waterproof |
|---|---|
| UV-treatment | value 50+ |
| Colourfastness | higher than GR7 |
| Mold Value | 0 | the best antifungal qualities available |
| Tear strength | Warp 200N | Weft 200N |
| Tensile strength | Warp 2000N | Weft 2000N |
