    PVC Keder Cord Product Description

    Our highly durable and flexible PVC Keder Cord, which is manufactured here in the UK, is ideal for reinforcing fabric panels on trailers, truck tarpaulins, tents, and other

    temporary canvas, textile reinforcement, LED frames, and textile fabric structures as well.

    Regardless of whether you need a single or double-flap Keder Cord, with numerous applications across various industries, our high-quality Keder products will provide you

    With exceptional performance and reliability every time, we are confident in that.

    Whether you are in tent manufacturing, marine applications, or outdoor advertising, our Keder cord will meet your project requirements. Contact our team to find out more.


    Material

    Made from premium PVC, our Keder cord —also known as PVC cord, PVC Keder Strip, Keder Awning Rope, or just Piping Keder—is essential for constructing and installing fabric structures such as tents, awnings, and outdoor advertising displays.


    Design

    For its design, the cord is encased in a fabric sleeve, which we find creates a good Keder profile that allows for a secure attachment method to a Keder Rail or awning track system.

    This design is also designed to ensure a tight, secure fit between the fabric and the supporting aluminium or non-metal frame systems you will use.


    Sizes and Colours

    Available in diameters from 3mm to 25mm, our Keder cord also accommodates different tensile requirements.

    We can also offer multiple colours, including White Keder and Black Keder, allowing you to match the cord to your textile fabric for a more seamless overall finish.


    Applications in Fabric Structures

    Our Keder cord is widely used in large-scale fabric structures, including event tents, temporary buildings, and exhibition stands.

    It also ensures enhanced weather resistance and structural integrity. For smaller-scale fabric products like awnings, canopies, and banners, the cord is easy to install and dismantle.

    Our Keder cord is also very adaptable and can be used for a wide range of applications in multiple industries, such as for instance:

    Tent and Marquee Manufacturing

    Here, it ensures a tight fit between the fabric and frame, which is essential for weather-resistant tents and marquees.

    Awning Fabric and Canopy Construction

    Attaches awning fabric to frames, maintaining a smooth and taut surface.

    Sign and Banner Production

    It secures large banners and signs to frames and is suitable for format printers and format print services.

    Boat Covers and Marine Applications

    Essential in securing boat covers, Biminis, and sprayhoods, as well as offering you resistance to saltwater and UV light as well.

    Shade Sails and Architectural Fabric Structures

    Used in tensile structures and shade sails, adapting to the wind and snow as well.

    Industrial Curtains and Dividers

    They can be used to easily hang heavy-duty curtains and dividers in industrial settings.

    Motorhome, RV, and Caravan Awnings

    Attaches awnings to RVs and caravans, ensuring secure, weather-resistant installations.

    Trade Show Displays and Exhibition Stands

    Assembles and secures fabric graphics to display stands and modular structures.

    Photography Backdrops

    Can also be used to secure backdrops to frames for professional-quality photos.

    Outdoor Advertising Structures

    It is also suitable for billboards and banner frames, ensuring promotional materials remain secure and visible.


    Creates a Tight and Secure Seal

    Our Keder cord will easily slide into a groove or track on the frame – often referred to as a Keder Rail or awning track – and is secured using methods such as industrial sewing machines, or heat sealing, creating a waterproof and wind-resistant barrier – which is essential for outdoor applications exposed to sunlight, wind, and rain.


    High Quality and Durability

    The Keder cord also delivers heavy-duty performance, manufactured from high-quality materials that deliver exceptional tensile strength and flexibility.

    It also has weather-resistant properties, as it has materials like polyester fabric and PVC in it, which provide you with protection against harsh weather conditions, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations – including room temperature extremes as well.

    Additionally, it meets safety standards, including flame-retardant properties and Shore A hardness ratings, making it suitable for a wide range of industries.
