Only premium outdoor materials
SOLUTION DYED ACRYLIC
We only use Premium Solution Dyed Acrylic fabric for our canopies, as it provides superior protection against constant UV light exposure, without rapidly breaking down.
Most fabrics begin with fibers that are initially colourless. The fibers are woven into yarns, the yarns are then dyed, and woven into fabric.
With solution dyed acrylic, the colouring takes place before the yarn is ever created. A liquid acrylic solution is mixed with the dye, and colour impregnates the heart of the fiber, delivering bright, glowing colours. The fiber is then spun into yarn.
This process makes it colour-fast and water-resistant. Solution-dyed acrylics are soft and breathable. And at a practical level mould & mildew resistant, stain resistant and easy to clean.

THREAD, BINDING, VALANCES, TRIMS & TASSELS
We love a bit of umbrella bling. Actually, we love it more than a bit...! But unless the right materials are used, the bling won't stay gorgeous for long.
All our materials are sourced in a similar manner to our Solution Dyed Acrylic. They are all made from high quality outdoor rated materials, designed to be used in shade or outdoor furnishing environments.
We source these materials directly from specialty Awning & Marine providers in Australia & the United States.
