Tautflex, a product available from Vipond Paints and originally used to paint long-term advertising banners, has now been modified for use on canvas, leather, glass, ceramics and most vinyls.

When used on canvas awnings, Tautflex enables companies to match their colour schemes and home owners can co-ordinate their blinds with the décor of the rest of the house.

Internally, holland blinds can be coated with Tautflex to achieve many different effects and finishes. Kitchen stools that are vinyl coated can be colour coordinated as can lounge chairs, beach umbrellas and directors chairs.
