Sunbrella fabric is 100% solution-dyed modacrylic fibers that resist fading and cracking from exposure to the sun, chlorine, atmospheric chemicals and moisture. Colour is added during fiber production. The fibers are then spun into yarn resulting in fabrics with permeated colour throughout, creating consistent, lasting colour and strength. The fabric comes with a 5 year limited warranty.

Sunbrella fabrics have a water-repellent finish applied during manufacturing. With the proper awning pitch and fabrication, water beads and runs off the fabric. Being a woven construction, Sunbrella fabrics are highly breathable and if water penetrates the finish some misting may occur.

With Sunbrella Firesist and Firesist Plus, flame retardant additives are incorporated into the solution-dyed formula prior to fiber formation, making fire protection an inherent part of the fabric.

The process creates fabric that will not drip melt if exposed to flames and will self-extinguish when the flame is removed. Since fire protection is an inherent attribute of the fabric, it will not leach or wash out during the life of the fabric. Sunbrella Firesist and Firesist Plus meet most interior and exterior fire code regulations.

The Weblon line of vinyl laminated polyester fabric provides the largest selection of North American made fade resistant decorator colours of any modern man-made awning fabric. Double Rain Kleen surface treatment prolongs fabric life, preserves colour and maintains cleanliness.

All Weblon fabrics are waterproof, mildew and flame resisitant, easily cleaned and maintained, and are dimensionally stable.

Calabana Cloth is the finest vinyl coated cotton Army Duck available. With vinyl coating on top side with dyed pearl grey cotton underside (mildew resistant Army Duck). The coating has an easy-to-clean- vinyl finish which doesn't crack, peel, harden or soften.

Patio 500 is the leading vinyl laminate used in hot and sunny Florida – an area that puts the best in fabrics to the test. This tri-layer vinyl, Hoechst Celanese Trevira polyester substrate comes in a wide array of solids and stripes, with a smooth matte linen-like texture.

Water-, mildew, and UV- resistant, Patio 500 has superior tensile and tear strength with exceptional dimensional stability. Awnings, canopies, pool and hot tub covers, wrestling mats, banners, umbrellas, and the list goes on.

Cooley-Brite, Cooley-Brite II and Cooley-Brite Lite are eradicable backlit flexible substrates generally for use in commercial applications. The 20 ounce membrane features a scrim design that is nearly invisible to allow for maximum light diffusion, consistent translucency and brilliant eradicable colours in backlit signs and awnings.
