SUNBRELLA® is a fabric woven of 100% solution dyed acrylic fibers. The solution dying process locks the dye in the acrylic while in liquid form before the fiber is produced. This ensures maximum color fastness and is why SUNBRELLA® fabrics retain their vibrant colors and resist fading. GLEN RAVEN MILLS founded in 1880, pioneered SUNBRELLA® over 30 years ago, creating a major breakthrough in outdoor fabrics. Since that time it has constantly refined SUNBRELLA® to make it the best fabric available for outdoor use.
SUNBRELLA® is so durable that it comes with a five year limited warranty. To ensure maximum performance and keep it looking great, SUNBRELLA® needs routine cleaning.
Although the fabric comes treated with a water and stain resistant finish, repellency retreatment is necessary after a thorough cleaning. GLEN RAVEN MILLS, INC. has endorsed only one product for re-treatment of it's SUNBRELLA® fabric. That product is 303 High Tech FABRIC GUARD. It is unrivaled in repelling water, stains, and the damaging effect of the sun.
