When should you choose an indoor cover, and when an outdoor cover?

The indoor car cover is designed for indoor use. It is not waterproof and will get wet. However, if you park your car outdoors in a covered, dry spot that is sheltered from the wind, using an indoor car cover is one possible solution. je určena pro použití ve vnitřních prostorách. Neodolá dešti a promokne. Parkujete-li však váš vůz venku, v krytém, suchém stání a v závětří, jeví se použití interiérové plachty jako jedno z možných řešení.

The outdoor cover is designed for outdoor use. Its multi-layered, waterproof construction and high weight allow moisture and condensation to pass through slightly more slowly than with an indoor cover. Reinforced double stitching or securing straps serve no purpose in indoor spaces. However, if you are looking for a cover for both indoor and outdoor use, an outdoor cover is the only suitable option. je navržena pro venkovní použití. Její vícevrstvá, nepromokavá skladba a vysoká gramáž propouští vlhkost a kondenzát o něco pomaleji než u plachty interiérové. Zesílené dvojí prošití či fixační popruhy nemají v interiérových prostorách žádné opodstatnění. Poptáváte-li ale plachtu pro indoorové i outdoorové použití, je exteriérová plachta jedinou vhodnou volbou.

Fading is not covered by the warranty.Yes, for both roadsters and convertibles with the top up. Keep in mind that canvas tops can snag on the inner lining of the fabric, preventing it from stretching properly and making the fabric appear too small. Avoid forcing it into place; instead, insert tracing paper as a spacer.

Will an outdoor cover protect against hail?

NE. NO. Hailstones are dangerous because of their kinetic energy. The larger ones (30 mm) fall at speeds of up to 80 km/h. Even the most durable outdoor cover do not provide reliable protection against hailstorms.

Could condensation form on the vehicle under the cover?

ANO, YES, it can. If the relative humidity is high and the temperature of the car’s body drops below the dew point, water vapor on the vehicle’s surface condenses and dew forms. As soon as the temperature rises again, the dew naturally evaporates. A high-quality cover allows water vapor to escape, keeping the car dry.

What should you know about the logo?

If you’d like to customize your cover, you can choose to have the original car brand logo or a custom logo of your choice printed on it.

The original car brand logo is the logo of your car’s manufacturer (Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, etc.). We will select the color of the monochrome logo to match the shade of the cover. The multicolor logo will retain its original colors. If you would like your company logo, custom logos, or lettering, we will create a custom logo for you exactly according to your specifications. je logo výrobce vašeho automobilu (Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Mercedes Benz, atd.).

What should you know about antennas?

Car covers generally do not account for antennas. Most antennas can be folded down or removed. You do not need to account for the shark-fin antennas found on modern cars. For older cars with fixed antennas, you will need to cut a hole in the cover.

What should you know about custom designs?
The PREMIUM custom indoor/outdoor cover is tailored to the specific make, model, and model year of your vehicle. It is not primarily designed to fit your car perfectly. If the vehicle’s exterior is in its original condition without any accessories, the cover will fit like a glove. In the case of original or aftermarket accessories, Japanese or American versions, or other vehicle modifications (custom hoods, different shapes or positions of side mirrors, splitters or diffusers, side skirts, rear spoilers, flared wheel arches, body kits, roof racks, etc.), the fit may not be perfect or may be completely unsuitable. Any dimensional modifications can be taken into account during the production of the cover. Please note that 100% accuracy of a modified or completely new pattern can only be achieved by testing and fine-tuning the details directly on your vehicle. Custom tailoring is performed exclusively at the customer’s request, is billed separately, and is itemized in a separate line of the price quote.
 
Most patterns are created in the years when the model was first introduced to the market and are produced using the technologies of that era. Patterns for vintage cars and classic cars are not as precise as modern ones. They tend to be looser and may be slightly puckered in places. However, this is not a flaw. That is simply how patterns were made back then.
 
With our PREMIUM custom outdoor covers, protecting your vehicle is our top priority. The high fabric weight offers robust mechanical durability, which makes it less pliable and results in a looser fit. Any dimensional modifications can be accommodated. Individual tailoring adjustments are generally not an option. Doing so would compromise the strength of the seams and the fabric’s waterproofing, which are critical for an outdoor cover.

Kapsy na boční zpětná zrcátka jsou součástí většiny zakázkových plachet Pockets for side-view mirrors are included in most custom-made PREMIUM tarps.

What should you know about custom full-surface printing?

It provides an unlimited range of colors, logos, or text of any size, as well as any graphics—including renderings of lights, radiator grilles, or the entire vehicle. The print is applied using sublimation technology. The base is a white fabric onto which the ink is applied from the front side. The reverse side remains pure white.
