Sunbrella fabric is a solution dyed acrylic and is pretty much the standard cover cloth in the boating industry. The popularity of Sunbrella stems from its fantastic colors, its high resistance to fading, and its long life span. Sunbrella’s resistance to ultraviolet is greater than any other cover material we know. Colors are brighter and remain so longer. Sunbrella does not shrink or stretch noticeably and yet is quite soft and stays that way. Indeed, it gets softer with age. In addition, Sunbrella’s acrylic fabric breathes nicely to prevent condensation while at the same time being quite water and mildew resistant.
