​Which eyelet is the best for outdoor banner support

​Which eyelet is the best for outdoor banner support
8 Jun 2022

Do you want to offer the maximum reinforcement to outdoor banners? If you've been wondering what type of eyelet is best to use for outdoor awnings, vinyls or banners, it's important that you pay close attention to avoid major problems.

There is only one correct answer: plastic eyelets. Although stainless steel could be another solution a priori, its high price makes it not an option for everyone. Plastic grommets, especially those made by JOPEVI, are the most recommended for holding banners, tarpaulins and awnings outdoors. Why?

  • They do not rust
  • They are the most resistant and durable
  • They withstand low temperatures
  • They can be recycled
  • They do not require anti-corrosion treatment with heavy metals
  • They have an excellent quality/price ratio
  • You can choose various colours, make engravings...
  • Transparent eyelet option: discreet and almost invisible!
  • Ultra Violet protection
  • Applicable on various materials such as: cellular polypropylene, PCV up to 4-layer, X-banner, rigid, textile, foam, netting, etc.

The grommets that prevail outdoors, in open places, are more exposed to rain, wind gusts, humidity, temperature changes and a series of phenomena that we cannot control. That is why, in these situations more than ever, it is necessary to take into account the type of material the pot is made of, looking for the maximum resistance and durability possible.


What happens if I use metal eyelets on outdoor banners?

Using metal grommets for outdoor banners is not the most advisable, taking into account the benefits of plastic grommets. Eyelets are small pieces that are placed around the support and are key to keeping the banner in perfect condition.

When using metal grommets outdoors, you should be aware that the risks of deterioration and damage are greater. Metal tends to rust and corrode over time, damaging the fabric and even causing stains. For this reason, before resorting to traditional pots, you should first consider other more modern options such as JOPEVI's plastic grommets, which have many improvements in terms of quality and resistance, thus avoiding any problems and unforeseen events.
