— Sunbrella Marine Acrylic Canvas
(320 g/sqm)
Sunbrella Marine fabric is an impregnated waterproof acrylic woven fabric that is initially made for boat protection. It’s UV, salt and mould resistant so will hold its colour and strength even after being exposed to the elements for a long time.
This acrylic canvas has a soft and matte appearance, close to cotton, which gives it a timeless look, while still being durable and more abrasion resistant than cotton.
— Challenge Sailcloth Ultragrid
(146 g/sqm)
Ultragrid fabric is made from recycled 210d nylon and a 5mm double 200d Ultra grid. This makes a lightweight yet durable fabric with a striking look that holds up to tear and abrasion well.
— X Pac RX 30
(262 g/sqm)
This fabric laminates a 100% recycled polyester outer fabric, X Ply fibres and a transparent, waterproof polyester film. The strong, Ply fibres that lye in a diamond shape between the layers increase the tear resistance and prevent the material from stretching in all directions. This fabric has a matte appearance.
