FAQs for Fabric Replacement Awnings

Replacing awning fabric involves a few steps. First, remove the old fabric from the awning frame, taking care to note how it was attached. Then, measure the length, width, and projection of the awning to ensure that the replacement fabric is the correct size. Next, attach the new fabric to the awning frame, following the manufacturer’s instructions and using any necessary hardware. Finally, test the awning to ensure that it operates smoothly and that the new fabric is securely attached.

It’s important to take your time and follow the instructions carefully to ensure that the replacement fabric is installed properly and functions as intended. To avoid potentially damaging your awning and the replacement fabric, it’s worth getting in touch with a member of our team for advice or to book an installation.

Acrylic and vinyl fabrics are more durable and less susceptible to damage from weather, so they’re better suited to awnings compared to canvas fabrics. They’ll last much longer and are often UV-resistant, meaning that they’ll resist fading from the sun. Coated cottons are also an effective solution, though they’re not as well-suited to humid locations.

Acrylic and polyester fabrics are the best choice for retractable awnings for several reasons. They’re more durable and are resistant to the elements, so they’ll last longer without developing mould, mildew or tearing prematurely. Treated acrylic and polyester fabrics are also UV-resistant, so they won’t fade or look worn out. These materials are easy to maintain and keep clean, and with regular maintenance will last you many years.

There are a few considerations to make when choosing a replacement fabric for your electric awning. You want to make sure the replacement fabric is compatible with the brand and model of your electric awning, and that it fits the size of the awning you have in place. Ideally, you also want a material that’s designed to be water-resistant and withstand the elements, to further protect the mechanisms underneath. Our team can advise you on the right fabric for your electric awning.

Waterproof, UV-resistant awning fabrics offer several advantages over canvas or cotton fabrics. They won’t fade from the sunlight, which keeps the colours and patterns vibrant for longer, and they’re more resistant to tearing. Waterproof fabrics are easy to maintain and clean, and they are also more resistant to dirt and debris.

With proper care and regular cleaning, your awning fabric should typically last between 5 and 15 years.
