MATERIAL AND COMPONENT FEATURES

To enter the Corradi production cycle, materials must pass all tests required by the Company's Quality System.
The features listed below identify the peculiarities of the materials and therefore should not be understood as manufacturing defects, with the exception of the cases noted in the non-conformity/defect column.
Warnings:
For complaint and warranty terms, see the Warranty chapter.
Any change made to the product not expressly authorised by Corradi voids the warranty.
Product features
The framework is not watertight. During particularly violent storms with strong wind some water infiltration is possible.
Structures situated in urban environments are subjected to pollutants (smog, acid rain), smoke from chimneys, cooking
fumes, and inclemencies of the weather in general.
Therefore it is normal for the canvas and the framework to get dirty.
General
Frameworks and canvas are not self-cleaning.
The lateral tilting of the framework is not a sign of structural weakness, but rather is regarded as normal for the type of
framework. The framework was designed by qualified engineers using Eurocodes.
Product features: check that there are no obstacles that may prevent the correct awning movement; this may cause
malfunction of the locking devices of the awning.
Depending on the installation conditions it is possible for the canvas to get dirty (pollutants, smoke from chimneys, smog,
etc.).
In this case it may be necessary to clean the canvas more frequently, as explained in maintenance chapter.
The canvas is not immune from burning caused by cigarette butts, etc.
In particular situations it is possible for condensation to form in the inner part of the canvas.
To limit this condition keep the area well ventilated.
Canvas
The appearance of mould in the canvas embossing is due to the presence of humidity on the canvas which favours the
growth of micro-organisms.
It is therefore necessary to clean the canvas at regular intervals, more frequently where necessary.
The presence of folds in the canvas immediately after the first installation may be due to packaging or how long the canvas
has remained packed.
It is necessary to keep the canvas in place for at least 10 days, and evaluate the quality of the product after this period of time.
Some time after installation and if the periodic maintenance on the runners is not carried out, as indicated in the manual,
the runners may become noisy.
Runners
To maintain a good efficiency on the awning and the locking device it is necessary to maintain the vertical runners clean
as shownin the maintenance chapter.
In the presence of ice/snow it is necessary to thoroughly clean the runners before moving the awning.
Protection In the summer, in case of direct exposure to the sunlight, the temperature inside the protection cassette may become very
cassette high. This may cause the canvas to stick, therefore resulting difficult to unroll if the awning is not handled for long periods.
It is advised to frequently open and close the awning to avoid this issue.
