Somerton Acrylic Canvas

Somerton Acrylic Fabric: Premium Outdoor Sun Protection

Are you looking for a premium textile that preserves its brilliant colour under the harsh sun? Somerton Acrylic fabric is a top-tier, 100% solution-dyed acrylic engineered specifically for high-exposure external applications.

Because the colour pigments are locked deep into the fibre core during production, it assures exceptionally high resistance to UV fading. This water-repellent fabric provides an ideal balance of translucency, colour depth, and outward visibility. Consequently, it is the perfect choice for exterior awnings, sunblinds, and luxury outdoor furniture. To suit your unique design aesthetic, the vibrant range is available in 49 different plain colours and classic stripes.

Key Benefits of Somerton Acrylic

Investing in premium outdoor fabrics means prioritizing longevity and effortless maintenance. Somerton Acrylic offers an impressive array of protective features designed for everyday performance:

  • 50+ UV Resistant: Offers maximum protection against solar radiation to keep your outdoor entertaining spaces safe.

  • Stain & Abrasion Resistant: Resists tears, scuffs, and accidental spills beautifully over time.

  • Mould and Algae Resistant: Advanced coatings prevent organic growth, even in damp or humid conditions.

  • Domestic Energy Saving: Effectively blocks solar heat before it hits your windows, which naturally lowers your indoor cooling costs.

  • Easy to Maintain: Requires minimal cleaning to stay looking fresh and pristine year after year.
