Product Description:
The 2009-10 Sunbrella® Awning Collection features 28 new solids, textures and stripes. The Ginza Awning Fabric Collection shown here is just a peek at the full collection. Featured (top to bottom) are: Tresco Clay, Ginza Java, Silica Sesame and Tresco Ginger.
Each colorway of Tresco, a bird's eye texture, combines two Sunbrella yarn colors to achieve a tiny dot pattern. Ginza Java features a rich, brown ground with an interplay of warm neutrals to provide an ideal accent to a variety of home exteriors. Reminiscent of raw silk or natural linen, Silica Sesame's slub texture and subtle color effect have an aesthetic that is totally new to the exterior awning market.
Comprising only a taste of the total new collection, these fabrics showcase Sunbrella's commitment to staying ahead of trends. Sunbrella upholstery fabrics have become more and more sophisticated and trend savvy, so it just makes sense that the Sunbrella Awning Collection follows suit.
All Sunbrella fabrics are stain resistant, fade resistant and easy to clean. Most stains can be removed with mild soap and water, but stubborn stains can be treated with solvents as strong as bleach or acetone without fear of damaging the fabric or removing the color.

Product Notes:
Decades before today's green movement, Glen Raven, Inc., the makers of Sunbrella, committed to exceeding industry benchmarks for environmental stewardship. Through ongoing initiatives with our vendors, trade partners and customers, we will stay in the forefront of protecting our environment. Below are some of the ways that Sunbrella fits into your sustainability initiative.
• Sunbrella's unique coloring process avoids harmful effluents associated with conventional dyeing processes. It also dramatically reduces water and energy consumption.
• Sunbrella fabrics are engineered for a serviceable lifespan two to ten times longer than conventional fabrics.
• The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends Sunbrella as an aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin. Please use shading products featuring Sunbrella as a part of your complete sun protection regimen, including regular use of sunscreen.
• Fabric awnings using Sunbrella reduce energy consumption significantly. A recent study by the University of Minnesota illustrated that awnings made of Sunbrella fabrics reduce home cooling energy consumption by 10% to 60% and peak cooling loads by as much as 40%. Cooling requires less energy because the awning's shade prevents the sun's heat from entering the home through windows.
