Technology at the heart of the fibre

Sunbrella® fabrics are woven exclusively from solution-dyed acrylic fibers. Designed by the Sunbrella® R&D department, this high-end acrylic fiber integrates color pigments at the time of manufacture. The result is a fiber and therefore a through-dyed yarn. It is on this condition that the fabrics are resistant to the aggressions of UV rays and do not fade. They are therefore particularly suitable for use in demanding marine environments. The synthetic acrylic fibre is insensitive to salt and does not mildew, making it easier to clean covers and hoods. A bleach-based solution can even be used for stubborn stains or more intensive cleaning.

The technical advantages of Sunbrella® fabrics meet the requirements of the marine environment.

Textiles for protection and decoration

Whether plain or patterned, Sunbrella® fabrics cover and protect the interior and exterior of your boat: covers, hoods, rear closures, protective covers, but also seats, cushions, plaids, bedding and sunbeds. More and more boaters are giving importance to the layout and decoration of their boats by adopting the codes, colours and materials of the world of the home. That's why the new Sunbrella® Marine collection consists of 205 references, including 112 new products, all designed by the in-house design office. This new Sunbrella collection is divided into four universes based on the latest trends. Production is also carried out in the French factory in Lille in the Nord region.
