What is Sunbrella?

Glen Raven, Inc revolutionized the awning industry in 1961 with the introduction of Sunbrella, a fabric with vibrant color and robust strength that can withstand years of exposure to sun and weather. Sunbrella was quickly adopted by boaters as the fabric of choice for marine covers and canopies. Most of the world's finer convertible automobiles use Sunbrella as the outer layer of fabric in the retractable soft top. Sunbrella is also the premier fabric for outdoor furniture and patio umbrellas. Today, Sunbrella is available in colors and designs that rival the finest upholstery furniture, making it ideal for indoor applications. The latest technology has enabled a new generation of Sunbrella to withstand the high-wear environments of the contract market.
