About Sunbrella® Fabric

Legendary Performance: Often imitated. Never duplicated.

What is Sunbrella Fabric?

Sunbrella believes in worry-free fabrics. Fabrics that are durable, easy to clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy comfortably in any environment. We began in the 1960s meeting the challenge of creating an awning canvas with a substantially longer lifespan than cotton. Over the years we have expanded our portfolio, developing new fabrics and technologies specifically designed for use on outdoor furniture, indoor furniture, window treatments, boats, and more.

Each yard of Sunbrella performance fabric is a product of a global support team committed to producing only the most exceptional performance textiles you can buy. Sunbrella fabrics are made with close attention to design detail and engineered with robust performance characteristics that make them easy to care for and last for years; whether they are used indoors, outdoors or on the water.

The family extends to the many employees who have been with Glen Raven for decades, embracing a strong worth ethic and pride in the Sunbrella brand, and our valued partners and customers who trust Sunbrella to bring worry-free living to their space.
