What Is Awning Fabric Material?

Awning fabric material refers to specially engineered outdoor textile materials designed for sun shading, rain protection, and weather resistance in awning systems. These materials are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial shading applications such as retractable awnings, fixed awnings, canopies, pergolas, storefront awnings, and outdoor living structures.

As a professional awning fabric material manufacturer, DERFLEX develops and supplies high-performance awning fabrics that combine mechanical strength, UV protection, waterproof capability, color durability, and long service life under harsh outdoor conditions.

Unlike ordinary textiles, awning fabric materials must withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, rain, wind, temperature changes, and environmental pollution. Therefore, the selection of raw materials, coating technology, and surface treatment plays a decisive role in product performance.

Main Types of Awning Fabric Materials

PVC Coated Awning Fabric Material

PVC coated awning fabric material is one of the most widely used outdoor awning materials in the global market. It consists of a high-tenacity polyester base fabric coated with PVC compound on one or both sides.

DERFLEX PVC awning fabric materials are engineered for superior waterproof performance, excellent UV resistance, and outstanding durability. The PVC coating creates a dense protective layer that prevents water penetration, mildew growth, and material degradation.

• Excellent waterproof and windproof properties
• High tensile strength and tear resistance
• UV stabilization for long-term outdoor exposure
• Optional flame retardant performance
• Easy maintenance and cleaning
  
  
  
  
  

Acrylic Awning Fabric Material

Acrylic awning fabric material is commonly used in high-end residential and commercial shading systems. It is typically produced using solution-dyed acrylic fibers, which provide excellent color fastness and aesthetic appearance.

DERFLEX supplies acrylic awning fabric materials designed for elegant outdoor shading applications where appearance and long-term color stability are critical.

Polyester Awning Fabric Material

Polyester awning fabric material offers a cost-effective solution for various outdoor shading applications. When combined with PU, PVC, or acrylic coatings, polyester awning materials deliver balanced performance in terms of strength, flexibility, and weather resistance.

Key Performance Requirements of Awning Fabric Material

Waterproof Performance

One of the primary functions of awning fabric material is to provide reliable rain protection. DERFLEX awning fabrics achieve waterproof ratings ranging from 3000mm to over 10,000mm, ensuring effective performance even under heavy rainfall.

UV Resistance & Sun Protection

High UV resistance is essential for preventing fabric aging, fading, and structural damage. DERFLEX awning fabric materials are treated with UV inhibitors and stabilizers, achieving UPF 50+ sun protection levels.

Mechanical Strength

Awning fabric materials must withstand wind loads and mechanical stress. DERFLEX uses high-tenacity polyester yarns to ensure excellent tensile and tear strength.

Color Fastness

Color stability is critical for outdoor aesthetics. DERFLEX awning fabric materials are tested for color fastness against UV exposure, rain, and temperature changes.
