When you need absolute sunblock, Somerton Canvas offers the ultimate defence against the harsh elements of our sunburnt country. This premium external sun protection fabric is specifically engineered for traditional exterior sunblinds, outdoor canopies, and fixed-frame applications.
Furthermore, it serves as an excellent passive energy-saving device by stopping solar heat before it ever reaches your window glass. Consequently, installing these high-quality awning fabrics can significantly reduce your indoor cooling costs during the scorching summer months.
Somerton® Canvas effortlessly blends classic style with contemporary performance. To ensure maximum longevity in rugged coastal or urban environments, these fabrics offer high-level protection against the most demanding outdoor conditions.
For instance, the advanced fabric construction provides a reliable shield against:
UV and Light Degradation: Blocks out blinding glare while maintaining long-lasting color vibrancy.
Moisture and Dampness: Heavily repels water and actively prevents the growth of unsightly mold and mildew.
Surface Wear and Tear: Easily resists abrasion, ensuring your awnings look pristine and structural for years to come.
To achieve its market-leading strength and durability, Somerton® Canvas is manufactured to strict technical tolerances. Because each component is designed to work perfectly together, it delivers unmatched reliability you can trust.
