Waterproof fabric awnings
Waterproof fabrics are completely impervious to water, creating a reliable barrier against rain.
Materials
Waterproof fabrics include synthetic materials that are either laminated or coated.
Vinyl-coated polyester: Extremely durable and fully waterproof. The vinyl coating creates an impenetrable barrier against water, as well as providing resistance to fading, mildew, and stains.
PVC-coated woven polyester: A strong and durable option that is also easy to clean.
Laminated fabrics: These materials are manufactured with multiple layers, including a waterproof barrier fused into the fabric.
Awnings are covers attached to buildings that provide shade and protection from sun, rain, and snow.
These are curved, hemispherical awnings often found over windows and doors to add visual flair and protection. Some modern versions feature polycarbonate panels for durability and light transmission, while others use durable, waterproof fabrics.
Regular Fabric Awnings
Typically use materials like solution-dyed acrylic or polyester. They offer good UV and shade protection, but their water resistance varies.
Waterproof Fabric Awnings
Built with heavy-duty materials like vinyl-coated polyester, PVC tarpaulin, or specially treated acrylic fabrics. These are highly resistant to moisture, mildew, and rot, making them suitable for areas with heavy rainfall.
