Fabric Guide
Mesh Awning Fabrics
Mesh fabrics have gained a strong reputation with traditional Sunblinds as well their popularity with the eZIP Track Blind® and eShade Blind®
Mesh fabrics not only look stylish and modern but also have the advantage of maintaining your views, breathability, sun and wind protection, privacy, and insect protection, as well as the reduction of seams due to the widths of the fabric. Mesh fabrics have been available for use on awnings for many decades and are well regarded for their durability and qualities to handle the strong Aussie sun.

Acrylic Fabrics are available in beautiful plain or stripe colours and perfect for a large range of awning applications including Sunblinds, eShade Blinds, Folding Arm Awnings, Door Canopies, Drop Arm Awnings.
Acrylic is a high quality coated synthetic fibre specifically designed for outdoor use.
Acrylic has the same colour, design and pattern on both sides of the fabric, so you get to enjoy your colour choice at looking in or out.
Acrylic is lightweight & mould resistant, making it the perfect choice for a Folding Arm Awning.
