Classic Aerial silks for acrobatics and circus

Description

Classic Aerial silks for acrobatics and circus, high quality and resistance, perfect for beginners but also for the advanced practitioners.

In this video you can appreciate better the color of the aerial silks:

If you prefer a different kind of fabric, brighter and more elastic, great for the performances, please check out our On-Stage aerial silks for performances.

How to calculate the length of the fabric you need?

The length of fabric should be the double of the ceiling height or structure where you are going to hang it, plus two metres. So if your ceiling is 5m high you will need 12 m of Aerial silks. To performance drops, you might need a minimum of 14 metres so you can hang it from 6 meters height.

Please note the size listed is the TOTAL length of the silk. As aerial silks are rigged from the centre, the working length is a little under half the total length.

Externally tested for up to 1000 kg of static weight load before braking with a very good plastic performance

Width: 160 cm – 63 inches

Approximate density: 200 g / m2

Medium stretch  (7-15%  excellent for drops)

Non-slip textured, excellent grip (Great for beginners)

Attractive sheen

Made in Spain, no toxic

Rigging kit is not included but you can purchase it in our Accessorise area

or get our aerial silk Kit  or our Kit pro with a big eight and the option for swivel

Safety:

Our fabrics have the resistance test by an external team and withstand more than 1000 kg of static load. with a good plastic performance.

Important Note:  Our fabric is good for aerial acrobatics, because has a no slippery texture and is very durable. The silk is also very good for making hammocks for children. But this type of fabric (medium stretch) is not suitable for aerial yoga hammocks for adult people. If you are looking for a fabric to make an aerial hammock,  please check our  Aerial silks to make hammocks. This one is a very low stretch fabric (in length) and is 2.50 metres wide.

Fabrics should be checked periodically for weakening and holes. At the time of inspection, check especially at the junction with the eight or beam where they are installed, as this is where the fabrics can suffer the most.
By installing the fabrics and accessories correctly, the chances of damaging the fabric are minimized, since the pressure on the fabric is distributed over a larger surface area.
By placing the fabric correctly on the large horned figure eight, the pressure is better distributed and the risk of friction is reduced. Compared to the simple eight, there is a larger contact surface and less risk of damaging the material.
For this reason, the fabric should never be hung directly to a hook or carabiner.

For classes and regular use with drops performances we recommend using the eight with horns correctly positioned or our Pro Kit, as it distributes the tensions better. Even so, the material should be checked periodically for possible tears.

We do not change the material for damage once it has been used, as there can be many factors that can damage a fabric, even if it is used correctly.

For example, certain drops can increase the risk of damage to the fabric, regardless of its resistance (which is tested regularly), but by friction that raises the temperature of the fabric.

Also the way the accessories are installed can affect the integrity of the fabrics.
However, no installation method guarantees 100 x 100 its integrity, so the material must be checked periodically and changed if there is any damage, just like any other material used for work at height or climbing.

How to install the aerial acrobatic silks?

When you hang them from a ceiling (without an exposed beam) you might need a climbing 8, and a carabiner ( or choose our aerial silk kit that include both things)  and a well installed hook  in the ceiling (Installed without screws also make sure that the hook is strong enough and the screws are suitable for your type of ceiling).

The installation should be done by a competent person. It must be installed on the supporting structure of the building, never on false ceilings.
If you are going to hang them directly from a beam we recommend to put a towel or between the  beam and the fabric in order to protect it.
The fabric should not be exposed to the sun for long periods of time as this weakens the material.

It is VERY IMPORTANT to open the package with caution since it is possible to damage the fabric when opening it with a cutter or scissors, such cuts will not be considered factory defects and the money for the material or shipping will not be refunded.

The tones of the fabrics are the most accurate possible, however each tone can be seen slightly different depending on the device in which it is viewed and the level of brightness it has.

We recommend watching the videos where you can see the colors in more detail and if you have doubts about the tone you can consult us or watch them on a different device. We do not cover shipping costs in case of changes or returns due to tonal differences, although we are responsible for shipments if we have sent a different color than the order you made.

We tested the fabric for traction and plastic performance, but once is used it can not be returned.

An incorrect ringing can damage the fabric but also some drops and moves can bur the fabric creating holes, be aware of those movements, Aerial Living will not change material or refund material that was damage by using it.  Even if the material is high quality, a burn will always damage the fabric.

Fabrics should be checked periodically for weakening and holes. At the time of inspection, check especially at the junction with the eight or beam where they are installed, as this is where the fabrics can suffer the most.
By installing the fabrics and accessories correctly, the chances of damaging the fabric are minimized, since the pressure on the fabric is distributed over a larger surface area.

Aerial Living is not responsible for human (of the buyer or another person) or material damage,  even if the accident occurs using correctly the material.

MAINTENANCE and SECURITY

Before any use of the material, you must check the condition of the material and that the knots are correct and secure.

Always check that fabric knots, ropes, slings and height adjusters are in good condition. Especially if you have washed the fabric or used it for a long time, the knots can move becoming unsafe.

Frequently check the areas where the fabric is under more pressure (by the eight, carabiners, or knots), check for holes or weakened or deformed areas. If there is something like that, DO NOT use it.

Avoid climbing on the fabric with rings, pendants, jewellery of any kind, long nails or clothing that could damage the fabric.

When you hang it anywhere, be aware that the fabric can be damaged if it is close to strong light sources. In theatres there is the additional possibility of frayed cables, snagging or some other equipment. Check that there is no type of friction in the material with firm structures.

Make sure the fabric is not exposed to the sun for long periods of time so that it does not lose its color and properties.

Install it in structures that are firm and resist 10 times the weight of the practitioner.

Washing

Wash fabrics or swings by hand or in a washing machine with cold water. Do not tumble dry. Use a liquid detergent, and to eliminate the smell, just baking soda. Remove carabiners and other accessories before washing fabrics and swings.

Do not use other stain removers or fabric softeners! they can alter the physical properties of the material.

Use the gentle wash cycle. An additional rinse cycle is recommended to remove soap residue. Do not wash other items together with your fabrics or swings and do not wash fabrics of different colours at the same time.
Is customer’s responsibility to check the condition of the material before each use.

BILLS

If you need an invoice, put the billing information in the form with the tax identification number (for example NIF, CIF, VAT)

If you have not placed it in the order, you must request your invoice by mail within a period of 30 calendar days from when the purchase was made, because the invoices are correlative. If you order it after the order, the invoice date may be later than the date the order was placed.

RESPONSIBILITY

Aerial Living is not responsible for accidents that may occur using the fabric or swing, whatever the cause. Therefore it is very important to verify the material and practice following instructions from trained professionals in safe facilities.
