Modern Shade Solutions
for the Home

The outdoor room has a tranquility unlike any other. A comfortable, inviting space with fresh air and a scenic view. The essential element of the outdoor room, however, is shade. The number one reason people choose to avoid their outdoor room is lack of shelter from heat and rain.

Providing needed shade is what Sunbrella® fabrics does best – supplying protection from the elements, comfort in the heat of the summer and undeniable style for over half a century.

Residential Shade with
Unparalleled Performance

UV and fade resistant

UV and Fade
Resistant

Sunbrella fibers are saturated with highly UV stable pigments. Traditional dyeing methods only add color to the fiber exterior. Sunbrella fabrics’ performance characteristics are an integral part of the fabric, not an applied finish that would wash off over time.

Mold and mildew resistant

Mold and Mildew
Resistant

Sunbrella fabrics inherently resist the growth of mold and mildew. To keep your fabrics looking clean, brush off dirt and debris before it gets embedded in the fabric.

Bleach cleanable

Bleach
Cleanable

To easily remove tough stains, simply clean Sunbrella fabrics with a bleach solution. Because the color goes to the core of the fiber, the fabrics will not lose their color.

Sun Protection

Sunbrella shade fabrics are high in UPF protection, and are recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as an aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin as a part of a complete sun protection regimen, including regular use of sunscreen.
