Choose Docril® Fabric for Your Retractable Awning in Canada
Outdoor fabrics are required to withstand a lot from the environment. Unfortunately, many materials will succumb to the effects of high temperatures, moisture, and intense ultraviolet light exposure by fading and deteriorating. As a result, these elements pose a risk of damage to your upholstered garden furniture and awnings. Fortunately, a textile called solution-dyed acrylic awning fabric is now available to endure extreme weather conditions and UV rays. Our Betterliving™* awnings, shades, and canopies are made from long lasting Docril® fabric that is manufactured with these solution-dyed acrylic fibers, to help maintain the appearance of your shade products for years to come, and they are backed by a 12-year limited warranty.
How Acrylic Awning Fabric is Made
Solution-dyed acrylic awning fabric is an ideal material to use in your outdoor space. Homeowners benefit by using this fabric that adds both style and practicality to the home. More specifically, Docril is ideally suited for your retractable awning and canopies. Learn more about the benefits and how solution-dyed acrylic fabric is made:
- Learning the Basics – Typically, most fabrics are created colourless and then dyed to the desired result. However, solution-dyed acrylic fabrics are created from fibres that are already coloured before the yarn is even created.
- Solution-Dyeing Process – Invented in Europe in the 1950’s, liquid acrylic solutions are combined, extruded, and transformed into fibre. These coloured fibres are then spun into yarn through an intricate process that prevents colour contamination. As a result, solution-dyed acrylic fabrics are the colour.
- Benefits of Docril® Fabric – The structure is extremely compact. Due to this unique quality, sunlight and UV rays are less likely to penetrate and fade the fabric. With Docril® fabric, we guarantee that the colour of your retractable awning will remain looking as bright and fresh as the day you received it*. Along with long-lasting colour, Docril® fabric does not easily tear, stretch, or lose its shape due to changes in temperature or repeated retracting and extending.
- Unique Features – Unlike some other well-known brands and certainly off-shore brands, Docril® awning fabric is coated with genuine Teflon® by Dupont. In addition, our seams use GORE® TENARA® thread which has a lifetime warranty.*
