What Does GSM Mean in PVC Leather and Coated Fabric?
GSM explained simply: what grams per square metre means for rexine and PVC coated fabric, how to measure it with a 10 cm sample, and how to use it to compare quotes.
Read articleStrong base fabric, protective PVC coat, built for outdoors and industry.
Our technical coated textiles combine a high-tenacity base fabric with a PVC coating to make material that is waterproof, tear-resistant and weather-tough. From covers and awnings to tents and industrial curtains, we coat to the weight, colour and performance your application needs.

Single Side PVC Coated Fabric
PVC coated on one face, with the fabric texture left on the other.
Single side coated fabric gives you a waterproof outer face and a softer fabric back. It is lighter and more flexible than double coated material, which suits covers, linings and bags that need protection without bulk.
| Base fabric | Polyester, nylon or cotton (woven / knitted) |
|---|---|
| Total weight | 250 to 900 GSM, as required |
| Width | Up to 2 metres (wider on request) |
| Options | UV stabilised, flame retardant, anti-fungal, cold-crack resistant |
| Finish | Matt, glossy, lacquered or printed |
| HSN heading | 5903 (confirm exact code with your CA) |
Typical values. All specifications can be customised; confirm final values with our team.

Double Side PVC Coated Fabric
PVC on both faces for maximum waterproofing and durability.
Double side coating seals the base fabric completely, giving superior water, weather and abrasion resistance. Use it for heavy-duty tarpaulins, tents, truck covers and industrial applications where failure is not an option.

Straight answers to what buyers ask us most.
Single side fabric has PVC on one face and bare fabric on the other, so it is lighter and more flexible. Double side fabric is sealed with PVC on both faces, so it is fully waterproof and more durable outdoors.
Heavy outdoor covers usually need a higher GSM double side fabric. Tell us the size, use and how long it must last, and we will recommend a weight.
Yes, flame retardant, UV stabilised, anti-fungal and cold-crack resistant options can be built into the coating. Share the standard or test you need to meet.
