I have installations up around Austin that have been up for 15 years that still look outstanding. How long will the solar screen fabrics last? It’s very impressive to me to see these screens still looking so good years down the road. I see MANY homes every day when I am running my route going through the subdivisions with installs I did many years ago that amazingly still looks so awesome and new. These examples of homes are all over Austin. All over Austin Texas, I have installations that have been up for 15 years and they still ALL look great. With certainty, I can say for sure that over a 10-year span the fabric will not fade while in direct sunlight. One fabric density (90%) is just a little thicker than the other (80%). In short, both of my 80% and 90% shade density fabrics are made the exact same way. Or my 90% fabric lasting longer than my 80% fabric. I can’t see my 80% fabric lasting longer than my 90% fabric. Will one sun control fabric density last longer than the others? The fabric is made to last, made to be in the sun. The are woven with a polyester yarn then coated with a sun control PVC coating. My particular Twitchell Textilene 80% and 90% fabric will last the same.

My shade level densities are 80% and 90%.Īs far as one color working better than the other, I would look at more like does one color make more sense than others. It is not about the color of the fabric, it is however 100% all about the shade level density. Does one fabric color work better than others?Īll of my solar screen fabric colors work the same as those of the same density. The Mocha fabric also adds an accent to homes that have Austin limestone, as there are flecks of gold within the limestone that match with the Mocha color very well. This sandstone goes very well with the Mocha fabric. Austin homes use a lot of locally quarried sand stone. The Mocha fabric is a unique one to us, made specifically for the Austin Texas area.
