Creating the perfect outdoor living space means combining comfort and style with the right shade structures. Whether you want a place to hide from the hot summer sun, are looking to protect your outdoor furniture, or want to add a touch of elegance to your patio, the shade material is crucial. But with the wide variety of available materials, how do you choose a good match for your needs?

At Burlington Awnings, LLC, we provide top-quality shade structures. Over the years, we have become experts in the field and know that the best material for shade structures is the one that meets your preferences. However, some materials stand out for their durability, aesthetics, and overall performance.

Best Fabrics for Shade Structures

Our top recommendations for fabrics include Sunbrella and Serge Ferrari fabrics. Sunbrella is a leading name for shade structures, as their fabrics are designed to withstand the elements and maintain their vibrant color. They resist fading, staining, and mildew, making them an excellent choice for outdoor use. With a wide range of colors and patterns available, Sunbrella fabrics can be customized to complement any architectural style or personal taste.

Serge Ferrari is another reputable name known for its high-performance fabrics. Their products offer exceptional resistance to weather conditions, UV radiation, and tearing. In addition, Serge Ferrari fabrics are recyclable, making them an excellent choice for eco-conscious customers.

We’re Here to Help

While fabric is a popular choice, it is important to remember that the structure supporting your awning is equally critical. That is where our partnerships with Solaire and Summer Space come in. Both these brands manufacture retractable awnings that are sturdy, stylish, and easy to operate.

We take pride in offering customizable solutions that cater to the specific needs of our clients, from residential stationary awning installation to awning repair. Contact us today to learn more about how we can enhance your outdoor living space with high-quality shade structures.
