Fabric is the most integral part of your awning since it must withstand the elements of the Canadian seasons. But choosing the right fabric can be quite the process. Here’s what to consider when selecting awning fabric for your outdoor space.

Acrylic Fabric

Choosing a material meant to last is a top priority when it comes to awning fabric. Acrylic is a durable fabric that holds colour well.

There are hundreds of colours and patterns in the acrylic category that will perfectly suit your outdoor space. Since acrylic fibres are UV stable, the colour will remain vibrant for years to come. Acrylic is also mildew and mould resistant and is simple to clean and maintain. 

Solution-Dyed Fabric

Sometimes, the most challenging (but also the most fun) part is choosing a colour that works well in your backyard.

Solution-dyed fabric uses a process to add pigment during fibre production to create one beautifully finished product. Because colour is a part of the fibres, the awning’s colour remains for as long as the fabric does. Solution-dyed material not only prevents fading in the sun, but is also durable and can withstand harsh weather elements.

Cleaning and Caring for Your Awning Fabric

Want your outdoor space looking its best, without the need for constant maintenance and cleaning? Acrylic solution-dyed fabric is easy to care for and clean.

Some simple day-to-day maintenance will keep your awning in its original condition.

To clean the fabric and frame, use water from the hose, a soft brush, and a mild detergent such as Woolite, Dawn dish soap, or another mild detergent as recommended by the fabric manufacturer.  Make sure to rinse well and allow it to dry well.

Awning Fabric Replacement

Depending on the amount of wear and tear your awning endures, there will eventually come a time when it needs replacing. If the frame is still in good shape, replacing the fabric is typically all that’s necessary to make your awning like new again.
