The Sunbrella® Difference
Unparalleled Color Quality
Sunbrella fabrics are the best in the industry for a reason. Unlike other dyeing processes that only color the fiber’s surface, Sunbrella's solution dyed acrylic fabrics are dyed to the core of fibers, resulting in a fabric that is resistant to fading and the damaging effects of sunlight.
Defense Against Mold & Mildew
All Sunbrella fabrics are treated to resist the growth of mold and mildew. They are stain and water resistant, making them perfect for both outdoor and indoor environments. Sunbrella fabrics are designed to be breathable, making them water-repellent, but not completely waterproof.
Protect Against Sun Damage
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends Sunbrella shade and upholstery fabrics as an aid in the prevention of sun-induced skin damage, along with regular use of sunscreen. Sunbrella fabrics are proven to provide up to 98% UV protection when used in shade applications.
