Sunbrella™ is the result of over 45 years of ongoing research and development. Developed by Glen Raven Inc., a worldwide leader in high performance fabric technology, Sunbrella is the culmination of their century of experience in providing state of the art fabrics to the automotive, marine, furniture, and military industries.

Unlike competing products that simply add color to the exterior of the fabric's strands, Sunbrella's™ UV-resistant color pigments are fully blended into its high performance fiber. Sunbrella's™ color refuses to fade even under the harshest conditions, while retaining the softness of spun cotton. The breathable fabric is water-repellent, mildew resistant, and so easy to maintain, even rainfall will help keep it clean!

Even better, Sunbrella™ blocks up to 98% of the sun's UV radiation when used as an umbrella or awning. It has been awarded the "Seal of Recommendation" by the Skin Cancer Foundation, an international organization dedicated to the prevention of skin cancer. The Seal signifies that Sunbrella™ fabrics have passed the Foundation's rigorous testing criteria and offer significant levels of sun protection.
