How long will my fabric last?
Factually speaking, SunSetter fabrics are guaranteed not to fade, crack, disintegrate, or rot for a period of 5-years (SunSetter Series woven acrylic & traditional laminated fabrics) or 10-years (Platinum Series Sunbrella woven acrylic) under proper/normal conditions of use.
SunSetter fabrics are engineered using industry-leading techniques to outperform inferior products. Their woven acrylic fabrics are ultrasonically seam sealed which ensures a seam that is 7.5 times stronger than traditional stitching methods. Furthermore, these fabrics are 100% solution-dyed so their color penetrates throughout the acrylic fiber and promotes very strong fade resistance. Being 100% polymer-based, SunSetter woven acrylic fabrics are inherently mold and mildew resistant as compared to a traditional canvas awning and umbrella fabrics. Additionally, each woven acrylic fabric has a water repellent membrane sprayed on the topside and underside to promote additional hydrophobicity (water repellency).
