FAQ
F&B alfresco: common questions
Can you install outside my restaurant or cafe?
Yes. We design and install zip blinds, awnings, pergolas and roofs for alfresco areas, and advise on approval requirements where relevant.
Are the fabrics fire-retardant?
Selected fabrics, such as the Sauleda fabric on our Foldable Fabric Pergola, are fire-retardant and SCDF-eligible for commercial submissions.
