Carat piano covers are made from absolutely uncompromising materials such as Kodupa , Polyether foam, Fibertex , Iso-Ouate , Velours , etc.
Kodupa is the outer layer of the Maestro and Intermezzo covers. It is a very high-end textile designed to protect against extreme abrasion and impacts. It is also waterproof to liquids with its specific PVC coating. The 20mm thick Polyether foam with a density of 27kg is perfectly suited to this use. The combination with Kodupa and our Iso_Ouate represents the ultimate in protection against shocks and friction. You have to have held a Maestro cover to understand the ability of this exceptional cover to protect the most prestigious pianos! Our Iso-Ouate is one of the main strengths of our Maestro cover. It is this, with its 4 layers of polyester and aluminized polyethylene, which ensures, in addition to the Polyether foam, the thermal insulation that the piano needs when it is moved over long distances leaving room for significant thermal variations. Its characteristics mean that temperature differences will be smoothed out so as not to subject the instrument to sudden temperature differences that could affect its integrity.
Fibertex is a high-density synthetic fibre felt. With a thickness of 7mm, this high-end material, together with Kodupa, represents the heart of our protection system for the Intermezzo cover. Our Velvet , a material characterized by its softness, is placed in the cover to be in contact with the instrument in order to provide protection against scratches.
Finally, for the Maestro and Intermezzo covers, we use 50 or 25mm wide Nylon straps, sewn by our craftsmen in such a way as to be durable and to allow the cover to be attached to the piano.
