For use in general sheathing work on hulls and decks, Twill weave has good drapability, it is also a very ‘soft’ cloth that will laminate into awkward shapes and tight corners.
To produce the diagonal rib one or more of the warp fibres weave under and over two, or indeed more of the weft fibres in a regular repeated manner, this in turn produces the distinctive diagonal rib.
Twill weave cloths have a front and back side, unlike the plain weave cloths. The front side has a slightly more pronounced weave and is more attractive, this face is used where the fabric is seen more of, ie clear coated surface or next to the Gelcoat if used more cosmetic reasons.
Orders for this cloth up to 4 mt length
1mt, 2mt and 3mt of cloth will be carefully folded and packaged neatly, minimising as much creasing and distortion to the fabric as possible. If ordering 4 Mt’s or more then the cloth will be supplied rolled on a cardboard tube.
