Fabric Options
The choice of fabric for your canopy awning can vary according to your needs which is why it is important to know the type of fabrics available that can suite the purpose for which the canopy is installed.
For many years in the past, cotton canvas was the only choice when it comes to canopy fabrics.
While cotton canvas looks good, it obviously has performance limitations in addition to being difficult to maintain. Many advances and technological breakthroughs in awning fabric gave not only more options but also more enhancement in terms of colorfastness, ultraviolet stability, strength, flexibility, and mildew resistance to name a few.
Acrylic-coated polyester is an ideal awning fabric if you are looking for a material that will not stretch out of shape. This material is also generally leak-free. Colorfastness or the fabric’s resistance to fading is one of the best features of solution-dyed woven acrylic. Being weatherproof makes it a preferred choice if you are located in regions that experience a lot of rain.
If you want a material that effectively resists mildew – a concern mostly experienced in humid areas – then go for vinyl laminated polyester. It also provides a solid measure of protection from ultraviolet rays and so prevents your furnishings from fading. You may also opt for a PVC-coated polyester fabric as this also resists mildew and is easy to clean and maintain.
If the purpose is more on design rather than function, then vinyl-coated polyester fabric, a mesh-like, lightweight, breathable material, is the more suitable choice. This provides shade and is also easily cleaned and maintained.
Topcoatings such as acrylic and urethane are added as a finishing on fabric to make it more durable and easy to clean. This is usually a film laminated onto the fabric’s top side or the side that is exposed, which serves as an additional layer of protection. Topcoatings keep vinyl laminates vibrant longer and help extend the lifespan of fabrics.
Denier is the unit of measurement manufacturers use for fabric density. This gives you an idea of how tough a fabric is. Generally, the higher the denier, the tougher the fabric and the heavier it also gets. Inquire about this when looking for canopy awnings.
