Custom Made Ski Boat Covers are For Sale.

Any boat owner knows how the elements can treat a boat, not to mention a boat fabric. But no other marine fabric on earth withstands the ravages of water, sun, salt or wind better than Sunbrella®.

It comes in a wide selection of colors and patterns.

IS SUNBRELLA FABRIC WATERPROOF?

Sunbrella fabric is not waterproof; it is water repellant. This means that during the finishing process a water repellant finish is applied to the fabric. Normal wear and usage will reduce the effectiveness of this finish as will cleaning the fabric.

We suggest that after Sunbrella fabrics are cleaned and if they remain exposed to the elements constantly and water repellency is a factor that you retreat your Sunbrella fabrics with a water repellant treatment such as 303 High Tech Fabric Guard which can be purchased at local awning and marine shops.

WILL SUNBRELLA FABRIC MILDEW?

Sunbrella fabrics, if kept clean, will not mildew. An inherent characteristic of acrylic fiber is that it will not support the growth of mildew, as a natural fiber will. Mildew will and can grow on any surface that is dirty, so to keep your Sunbrella fabric from mildewing you must keep your fabric clean.

If mildew growth becomes a problem please refer to our "care and cleaning" instructions.

DO SUNBRELLA FABRICS PROVIDE UV PROTECTION?

Sunbrella fabrics have been tested and proven to provide up to 98% UV protection from the harmful effects of the sun depending on depth of color. Whites and lighter colored fabrics provide less protection than darker fabrics which have more depth of color. This protective factor is inherent to the product and will not be reduced by usage and/or fabric exposure to the sun.
