Description
Imagine a classic, authoritative dark navy that mirrors the depths of the Atlantic, maintaining its midnight intensity even under the relentless glare of the midday sun. Sunbrella Plus in Captain Navy isn’t just about striking aesthetics; it’s about providing a robust, non-glare barrier that feels as premium as it looks. Designed for those who demand a professional finish, this fabric offers a resilient hand and unparalleled protection for your most ambitious outdoor and marine projects.
Why It Matters: The Technical Edge
While standard acrylics might falter, Sunbrella Plus is engineered for worry-free performance in high-moisture environments. The secret lies in its integrated urethane-based backcoating. This secondary layer provides superior water resistance compared to traditional canvases, ensuring your marine tops and pergolas remain bone-dry during heavy downpours. By combining 100% solution-dyed acrylic with this specialized finish, you get a fabric that is both breathable and highly water repellent, preventing the common frustration of "misting" through the weave.
What Makes Sunbrella Plus Special?
-
Legacy Durability: Boasting a weight of 9.77 oz. per square yard, this fabric strikes the perfect balance between manageable flexibility and heavy-duty strength.
-
Sustainability & Safety: Lead-free, REACH compliant, and GREENGUARD® Gold certified, ensuring your project is safe for both your family and the environment.
-
UV Protection: Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, it acts as a vital shield against sun-induced skin damage.
Expert Note: Backcoating Orientation
When installing Sunbrella Plus, always ensure the urethane-coated side faces the interior of your structure or vessel. This protects the coating from direct UV abrasion while allowing the woven acrylic face to showcase its vibrant, legacy-grade color to the world.
