- All Platinum Series Awnings have Sunbrella Woven Acrylic Fabric available. Sunbrella is recognized, Worldwide, as a premier fabric manufacturer utilizing cutting-edge and industry-leading manufacturing techniques to produce the most durable fabrics in all the industries served (including boats, cars, furniture, & of course awnings).
- Sunbrella Woven Acrylic Fabric is 100% Seam Sealed and is 7.5 times stronger than traditional stitching techniques. Additionally, Sunbrella fabrics start with 100% solution-dyed fibers that are spun into an 18-gauge, 2-ply thread which produces a thicker & more durable fabric (other manufacturers use a 20-gauge, 2-ply thread which is thinner). Note: the gauging of thread is similar to the gauging of electrical wiring, therefore, the larger the number gauge, the thinner the wire/thread.
(Diagram below) For reference, the figure below illustrates the best representation of different fabric-dying techniques used in the industry. SDA fibers are best represented by a carrot as the dye exists throughout, whereas both yarn-dyed & piece-dyed fibers (represented by the radish and jelly respectively) only have the dye existing at the surface of the fiber.
- All Sunbrella fabrics are treated with a proprietary membrane finish on both sides to enhance water & stain repellency and reduce UV degradation resulting in a longer fabric lifespan.
- Sunbrella is the flagship brand of Glen Raven Inc. and is headquartered in Anderson, South Carolina (USA). The Anderson plant features an ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 certified manufacturing operation, R&D center, and testing lab. This facility established the blueprint for our plants in Lille, France, and Suzhou, China, enabling us to best serve our customers in those regions (All SunSetter fabrics manufactured by Sunbrella/Glen Raven are manufactured within the Anderson, SC facility).
