With the Tempotest brand, Parà is a European leader in the awnings sector with a product range consisting of over 400 different patterns and colours and the most varied combinations, from solid colour to stripes, capable of satisfying every taste and requirement.
The company’s success is based on the:
control of the entire production chain, from the selection of the raw materials to the manufacturing cycle entirely governed by the Group and strictly made in Italy;
continual investments in research and quality, and the focus on aesthetics by the internal style office make the Tempotest fabrics for awnings the main reference in the outdoor sector.
Parà subjects all the Tempotest fabrics to a special treatment, with a Teflon®-based protection, which gives them partial repellence against the natural formation of dirt, long term water-oil repellence and excellent dimensional stability.
The quality of the Tempotest fabrics is guaranteed for a period of 8 years. A textile label showing the care instructions is stitched to the inside of every awning made with Tempotest fabrics.
The awnings made with Tempotest fabrics offer protection against UV rays and since they are paste-dyed (i.e. for the entire thickness of the fibre) do not lose their aesthetic quality over time but guarantee certified solar protection.
Each fabric from the Tempotest collection is certified according to the UNI EN 410 standard for solar radiation and the awnings made with Tempotest fabrics contribute to effectively filter this radiation which is a health hazard.
The awnings made with Tempotest fabrics are capable of managing the solar energy with the objective of increasing comfort and improving visual wellbeing, contributing to greater energy savings.
Each fabric from the collection contains a series of technical specifications indicating the solar and light performances because each fabric reacts differently to the sun’s rays depending on the colour, structure and material used.
These specifications are important for assessing the effectiveness and protective quality of a sun-protection fabric, and that’s why all the fabrics are subjected to a test to determine the coefficient of transmission to the sun’s rays, in accordance with the UNI EN 410 standards.
The high protection performances achieved by the Tempotest fabrics allow reducing temperatures and glare, thus guaranteeing good thermal comfort with reduced brightness.
The awnings made with Tempotest fabrics reduce heat depending on the colours: by 20% for light colours, 30% for pastel colours and over 30% for dark colours.
Another important factor behind the success of Parà Tempotest was surely its capacity to aggregate and select a highly qualified retail network, present throughout Italy and recognisable by the company’s brand. This network is capable of offering a highly specialised before and after sales service to the final consumer.

The Parà Industrial Group was founded in 1920 at the gateway to Milan. Today it is a leading Italian and European company in the manufacturing and sale of fabrics for indoor and outdoor decoration.
With five production centres and an elevated market penetration, the Group operates in three specific business sectors:
awnings, decorative fabrics for indoors and outdoors and marine fabrics.

The Tempotest Marine collection is a line of fabrics for marine applications. They have the same acrylic-fibre base as the fabrics used for the awnings, but are treated, constructed and finished differently. They come in a wide variety of striped or solid-colour fabrics.
The main characteristics of the fabrics from the Tempotest Marine collection are their repellence to water and normal mineral and vegetable oils. These basic characteristics are combined with design qualities such as resistance to longitudinal and transversal stress as well as diagonal stress which make the fabrics elastic and adaptable to many different uses.
Some fabrics of the Tempotest Marine range are waterproof such to guarantee resistance to the pressure of a water column of up to 1 metre, while all the fabrics are water-repellent, but breathable, which consequently prevents the formation of condensation leading to mildew.

The Tempotest Home collection is a line of fabrics designed for interior or exterior home decoration with a product range of over 200 patterns.
The batch-dyed acrylic fibre used for these fabrics is excellent for outdoor decorating solutions because it is resistant against UV rays, atmospheric agents and mould.
It is the first collection in the home decoration segment where solid-colour, jacquard, printed and striped fabrics merge in the same creative range to elegantly satisfy every taste and requirement.
Design, trends, technical quality and performance drive the products and inspire the collections, in particular 'Tempotest Home', Tempotest Home 'Jacquard' and Tempotest Home 'Black & White' and Tempotest Home 'Double & Soft'.
The current range of designs was developed by the internal style office with the collaboration of important designers (such as Missoni and Valentino) to better interpret the tastes and fashions, thus anticipating the trends in home decoration.
The Tempotest Home collection combines the resistance of the fabric obtained from 100% batch-dyed acrylic fibres to creative style and technical characteristics. Today, the success determined by the continual market demands is confirmation of the fact that the challenge to offer a full range of fabrics to the consumer for both indoor and outdoor use, was won.
