ABOUT SUNBRELLA® FABRICS Sunbrella® fabrics are manufactured by Glen Raven, Inc. headquartered in Glen Raven, North Carolina. Sunbrella® is the result of over 45 years of ongoing research and development. Sunbrella's UV-resistant color pigments are fully blended into its high performance fiber. Sunbrella® fabric's strength and color refuses to fade even under the harshest conditions, while retaining the softness of spun cotton. Sunbrella® furniture fabrics are designed to be breathable and water repellent. They do not absorb water and are designed to air-dry very quickly - usually within a matter of minutes.
