Sunbrella is the world's number one marine fabric and comes in a wide variety of styles. Sunbrella is a breathable, mildew resistant fabric that provides years of style and comfort. And Sunbrella isn't just for exterior boat canvas - Sunbrella furniture fabrics are ideal for marine interiors. Featuring the same Sunbrella acrylic fiber as our traditional marine canvas, these fabrics feature a vast array of designs and colors to accent any boat interior, yet they remain mold/mildew resistant, stain resistant, fade resistant, and easy to clean. Exterior and interior Sunbrella marine fabric can be coordinated to create sophisticated yet seaworthy appointments.
Designed for UV strips for furling applications, Sunbrella Furling and Sunbrella Furling Adhesive are Sunbrella fabrics that are light-weight, flexible and quick drying. Sunbrella Furling Adhesive uses a lighter adhesive that enables repositioning on the strip on the sailcloth until sewn in place. The adhesive disappears after repeated exposure (1000 hours) to UV rays, which avoids the formation of lumps in the strip and facilitates removal when it needs changing. Sunbrella Furling is only available in Europe.
