Sunbrella ® is 100 percent woven acrylic, Sunbrella dries fast, cleans easily and offers
unprecedented protection from the sun. The fabric's UV Protection Factor (UPF) is 50+,
which is as high as the rating goes and more than three times as high as the minimum
recommended by cancer groups.
Furniture-weight Sunbrella carries a five-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
8-Ounce Sunbrella fabric is warranted for three years from the date of the original
purchase and warrants its 9.25-ounce Sunbrella for six years from date of original
purchase. The Sunbrella warranty covers the fabric becoming unserviceable as a result of
loss of color or strength from normal exposure conditions, including sunlight, mildew, rot
and atmospheric chemicals, if the fabric has been properly installed, used and
maintained. The warranty does not cover labor and installation supplied by the dealer.
The warranty also does not apply against deterioration of any kind due to abusive use,
accidental burns, negligence, vandalism, perforations, or acts of God.
Special yarn made from solution-dyed acrylic in which the pigment is added while the fiber
still is in solution. With this method, the color permeates the fiber so it can't rub off or wash
away. Stabilizers are also added in the same way to minimize the effects of the sun, to
help the fabric maintain strength over time, and to inhibit rot.
Don't all solution-dyed fabrics do what Sunbrella® does?
Absolutely not, so make sure you purchase 100 percent solution-dyed Sunbrella® acrylic
fabrics. There are other fabrics on the market today that are made from synthetic,
solution-dyed fibers that have different names and make similar claims. If they are not
solution-dyed acrylic, they will not perform, last or retain color as well as a solution-dyed
acrylic. Quality manufacturers and retailers of outdoor furniture and marine products know
the difference
