What is the Best Fabric for Sun Shade?

Commercial Grade Sail Cloth offers durability and quality. At SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED, we use several types of commercial-grade high-density polyethylene shade fabric. We also use super durable TENARA thread to fabricate our shade sails. The best cloth options have the ability to allow cool breezes to flow freely through the fabric fibers. This can even lower the temperature under our shade structures by 15-20 degrees! Remember, any shade fabric chosen should meets fire resistance tests.

Types of Shade Sail Fabric

There are several different types of quality Shade Sail Fabric available depending on your needs. Here are the fabrics we recommend:

What is the Best Fabric for Waterproof Shade?

For most uses, structures are fabricated using the standard fabric with +- 88% water runoff. However, there are full waterproof options available for people looking to cover an area and protect against rain. Waterproof cloth is about 30% more expensive than standard fabric and is available only in limited colors. Waterproof shade structures are a good solution for many applications, such as entryways or parking lots, but can cost more to install than the commercial grade shade sails because extra heavy-duty anchoring points are required to hold them in place.
