Acrylic canvas car shades
Solution-dyed acrylic canvas is the premium car shade cover: waterproof, cool underneath, colourfast and long-lasting.
What is an acrylic canvas car shade?
An acrylic canvas car shade uses a woven fabric of solution-dyed acrylic fibres with a water-repellent finish. It blocks the sun completely, keeps rain off, breathes better than PVC and holds its colour for years. It is the longest-lasting fabric cover we offer, at around seven years, and suits premium homes, hotels and humid coastal sites.

Acrylic canvas questions
Is acrylic canvas waterproof?
Yes. Acrylic canvas has a water-repellent finish and keeps rain off, while still letting the fabric breathe.
How long does acrylic canvas last?
Around seven years with basic care, which makes it the longest-lasting fabric cover we install.
Is acrylic better than PVC?
Acrylic is cooler underneath, holds its colour longer and has a softer look. PVC is easier to wipe clean and takes logo printing better. Both keep rain off.
Is acrylic good near the coast?
Yes. It handles heat and humidity well and does not crack, which suits coastal and lakeside sites.
