SeaMark™ is an ideal combination of Sunbrella®, the premier woven acrylic fabric, and Haartz textured marine-grade vinyl. The result: a rich colorfast, waterproof fabric that stands up to the harsh conditions of any marine environment.
SeaMark Black is a 60" wide fabric and has superior seam and tensile strength and is dielectrically sealable. Engineered to stand up on the open sea, where salt, moisture, sun, wind, and temperature extremes defeat all but the toughest fabrics. SeaMark is mildew and UV resistant, manufactured with a water-repelled vinyl backing. 16oz per square yard. 5 year limited warranty.
SeaMark Care and Cleaning: Although the fabric does not promote mildew growth by itself, mildew may develop on dirt and other foreign substances that are not removed. This is especially true in warm, humid, dark environments. A program of keeping the fabric clean through regular washings, before it gets dirty, will enhance the life and beauty of the acrylic and make successive cleaning easier. Hand washing in shade or partial shade, not direct sunlight, is best. Do not use detergent. Bird and tree droppings, as well as other loose particle soils, should be removed immediately. Vacuum with a brush attachment and rinse thoroughly with water to remove loose particle soils. This will also prevent the soils from being redeposited during the cleaning process. Washing with soap (i.e. Ivory or Lux) and warm water is safe. Air dry. Never put Sunbrella fabrics in your dryer.

SeaMark Black 60" is a railroaded pattern |
Reduce Seaming with Railroaded Fabric
Most upholstery fabric is 54 inches wide and, if it features a pattern, the pattern is run down the length of the bolt. When upholstering, it generally looks best to run a patterned fabric from the top to the bottom of the piece and from the back to the front. This requires seams every 54 inches on larger pieces like sofas and long boat cushions. Alternatively, a Railroaded fabric pattern can be used to eliminated unwanted seams. The patterns in Railroaded Sunbrellas run across their widths. This makes Railroaded Sunbrella perfect for these longer projects.

In this illustration the fabric rolls out vertically, and for this type of single cushion, would require several seams to cover the couch.
