Glen Raven is offering a comprehensive line of Sunbrella Sheer fabrics for window applications, decorative touches and architectural embellishments inside and out. All Sunbrella Sheer offerings are highly fade resistant, easy to clean and durable.
The Sunbrella Sheer “Mist” grouping is a plain weave that is available as part of the Sunbrella stock program, while the “Illusion” fabric group is a crepe weave available on a woven-to-order basis. The luxurious “Casement” group consists of decorative, highly textural fabrics available through decorative jobbers and high-end furniture manufacturers.
“Sheer fabrics are an ideal extension of Sunbrella's combination of legendary fade resistance and dramatic beauty. Sunbrella Sheers can be used in any application requiring a lightweight, decorative and translucent fabric,” said Suzie Roberts, casual furniture market manager for Glen Raven Custom Fabrics. “The reception for the 'Sheer Genius Collection' has been outstanding as interior designers, furniture manufacturers and jobbers recognize the need for this innovative product.”
The color palette for the Sheer Genius Collection is predominately light and soft, trending toward neutral. Textures range from plain weaves such as Mist to the decorative Illusion and Casement. All of the Sheer fabrics have been designed for easy cleaning and to allow water to flow through, which makes them ideal for outdoor architectural and decorative uses.
“Interior designers with many of the consumer show homes we have sponsored over the past year have developed very creative applications using Sunbrella Sheer fabrics, ranging from room dividers to outdoor draperies and privacy screens,” Roberts said. “The enthusiastic adoption by the design community confirms our belief in the long-term future of the Sheer Genius Collection.”
