2008.10.07
Tri Vantage will present the Glen Raven Technical Fabrics' extensive collection of awning and marine performance textiles at IFAI Expo '08 in Charlotte, October 21-23. Each of these products is manufactured at the Statesville facility. The Glen Raven lines will be displayed in the Tri Vantage Booth #7087.
Glen Raven Technical Fabrics designs and produces specialty awning and marine fabrics that provide outstanding performance in sun, water, and all weather conditions. The division's major collections for awning and marine applications include:
- Gulf Stream® — Featuring an extensive array of rich colors, Gulf Stream is a traditional favorite for residential awnings. An acrylic coating, a scuff-resistant finish, a special UV treatment, and resistance to dirt, mildew and water make Gulf Stream exceptionally durable and long-lasting.
- Main Street®+ — Main Street+ is an ideal choice for awnings and canopies, especially with fire marshals! Even after years of use its inherent flame resistance provides ongoing protection. Main Street+ features an extremely smooth surface for superior resistance to dirt, UV, mildew, and abrasion. This performance fabric is also available as Main Street Digital+, specially developed for digital printing applications.
- Patio500® — Patio500 fabrics are designed for awnings, boat tops, pool furniture, and other applications where sun and humidity can affect fabric performance. Waterproof and UV- and mildew-resistant, these fabrics are ideal for extreme outdoor applications. Plus they're easy to print on and provide outstanding strength and dimensional stability.
- Harbor-Time™ — Made from acrylic-coated polyester, Harbor-Time fabrics are ideal for harsh environments. Harbor-Time is highly water repellent and resistant to both mildew and UV light making it ideal for a wide range of marine and automotive applications including Biminis, T-tops, mooring and travel covers, and splash curtains.
- Sea-Spraé® — Sea-Spraé fabrics are both economical and lightweight and feature Glen Raven's proprietary coating to prevent color transfer. Sea-Spraé is extremely durable, water repellent, flexible and resistant to both UV and dirt. Because it is stabilized for minimum stretch and shrinkage, Sea-Spraé is great for all marine applications.
These Glen Raven Technical Fabrics are available through Tri Vantage, the new company created by the union of John Boyle and Company and The Astrup Company, both of which were acquired by Glen Raven in 2007.
