Given the small number of this manufacturer’s covers on the site, it is difficult to characterize them. If additional covers are added, this entry will be updated.
From the covers on the site, it can be seen that the covers are in a shape close to a triangle with a background of squares (although on the page dedicated to the company’s products (see link above), it can be seen that it also manufactured square and round covers).
