Materials

When it comes to which material to choose from, our Covers Department have a wealth of knowledge to help guide you through the process. Whether you are looking for a specific colour or a certain weight of canvas, we can assist in finding the right material for you.

Over the past 50 years of cover making here at Sanders we only use tried and tested materials from the leading manufacturers in canvas, acrylic and technical fibre technology.

All of our accessories, such as zips, fastenings, buckles and toggles have a strong durability in a marine environment and will withstand the outdoor elements for years to come.

High-quality transparent PVC will be specified for window panels in sprayhoods, with premium-grade engineered acrylic fibre technology being used for window screen protection.

Highlighted features of the materials we use include:

Solution-dyed acrylic (colour is added to the fiber itself, so it doesn’t fade easily)
☀️ UV resistant (made for strong sun exposure)
Water-repellent and mildew-resistant
🧵 Breathable (helps reduce heat and moisture buildup)
💪 Long-lasting for outdoor usage
