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. When used in shade application, the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends Sunbrella® is effective as an aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin. The University of Minnesota has also illustrated that the application of Sunbrella fabrics in shade solution has signicantly produced a cooling effect.
