AWNING FABRICS:
Sunbrella
The legendary awning fabric.
When Sunbrella Awning fabrics first hit the market, they were only six colors available. With the growth and experience today, our customers have the pleasure of choosing between hundreds of colors, patterns, and textures. (Explore the Sunbrella showroom)
Today, the Sunbrella awning fabrics are the largest outdoor fabric manufacturer in the industry worldwide. All Sunbrella Awning Fabrics are 100% Solution-Dyed acrylic and is available in 100+ colors, with a manufacturer’s 10 year limited warranty against excessive fading, rotting or mildew.
THREAD:
GORE® TENARA® Sewing Thread
Your awning is only as good as the material that it is built with. All of our Sunbrella Awning fabrics are stitched with Gore Tenara Sewing Thread that is 3 times more durable than the industry standard, bonded polyester. Bonded Polyester loses 60% of its original breaking strength within the first three years yet, our thread still is going strong after 10 years.
The reason Oklahoma Custom Awnings uses Gore Tenara Sewing Thread is it maintains its strength even after regular exposure to UV sunlight, UV resistance is built into the thread, and is not a coating or additive that can wear off.
Gore Tenara Sewing Thread remains flexible and strong in extremes of hot and cold conditions. It won’t absorb water and it resists acid rain, salt water, pollution, snow and freezing; with Oklahoma Custom Awnings using these recognized materials for their awnings tells our customers that they are buying a premium product.
