Quality sun shades and canopies that protect people and equipment are worth the investment!
To choose the best option for you, you should consider the following:
Type of Fabric:
Commercial Grade Sail Cloth offers long-lasting durability and quality. While canopies can be purchased from a variety of sources, not all fabrics are created equal. At SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED, we use several types of super durable commercial-grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shade fabric, thread to manufacture our canopy fabrics. We choose shade fabric that meets fire resistance tests too! This adds to the cost factor however, it increases durability and years of use—as well as peace of mind. In the long run, quality fabric will pay for itself.
Sewing & Thread:
The way a canopy is constructed is extremely important. In our shop, we only construct canopies that have all corners reinforced to distribute the load for winds—but this is not the case for all.
We also ensure that the sleeves for the cables are double lock stitched and that the thread is
premium sewing thread. It is super durable and is ideal for fabrication of shade sails, canopy covers, awning covers, and other outdoor applications. We choose this thread because it wont fade or stain and is UV radiation resistant and can withstand extreme weather. Lesser threads and sewing techniques are available and will reflect in the price—however, again, you get what you pay for.
Size of Project and Structure:
Each project is unique and we work with each customer to determine the best configuration and specs for each. As you would expect, the size of a project has a huge effect on the final price. When we consult with a client, we always look for the most economical configuration while checking all of the other boxes on the “must-have” list.
Warranties:
When choosing a canopy, you will want to know if the vendor offers a warranty. Canopies offer an aesthetic and economical way to provide shade and shelter, however you want it to last. SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED offers a 10-year warranty on our superior workmanship, and a comprehensive warranty and a guarantee for installation of shade structures, canopies, awnings and shade sails.
You should be able to rest assured that your sun shade, canopy, awning investment is worth every penny.
It is natural to want to know the cost of a shade sail before you get too far into your project. While factors such as quality, fabric, style, size and number of structures must be considered, pricing of the majority of our commercial projects is not fixed/standard.
