waterproof Sunbrella®,
developed by
Haartz® engineers who have expertly waterproofed Sunbrella®,
the premier woven acrylic fabric, by
undercoating the Sunbrella® fabric with a textured marine grade vinyl.
SeaMark® offers the best of both worlds -
a beautiful, colorfast fabric with the added durability of vinyl.
This "acrylic vinyl" 16 oz./sq.yd. fabric has superior seam and tensile strength,
backed by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty, and is available in
many Sunbrella® solid and tweed colors.
SeaMark® was offered exclusively or as a factory upgrade option for OEM Top Canvas
on many
Sea Ray®,
Boston Whaler®,
Formula®, Chaparral®, Rinker® and Regal®
convertible, bimini, sunshade and camper tops
for example.
Not all colors may be available for every canvas product.
Colors will appear differently on your monitor than the actual fabric application.
Some of our Factory OEM canvas was offered in
Recacril® 9 oz./sq.yd. Solution Dyed Acrylic marine fabric
manufactured by Recasens® USA.
as selected by the boat manufacturer.
Recacril® is a 100% solution dyed, 9 ounce (per square yard) acrylic fabric
for marine and outdoor use.
It has a Flurocarbon/Resin coating to repel water and offer excellent UV resistance
and is woven in
over 50 solid colors
and over 80 stripes,
although only a limited selection of solid colors are offered for our marine canvas.
In some cases, Recacril® is no longer offered for factory OEM replacement canvas, curtains or covers,
and a similar (not exact shade in some cases) color Sunbrella® fabric is used as a replacement.
Some of our Factory OEM canvas is offered in ClimaShield® Plus fabric
as offered by the boat manufacturer.
ClimaShield® Plus is woven with Dowco®'s Color-Lok® polyester yarn
(solution dyed so the fibers that make the threads are individually dyed)
to provide superior fade resistance, product longevity and durability.
Inclusion of water-resistant anti-microbial coatings make this fabric resistant to the growth of mildew.
pigmented vinyl coated (always white vinyl on the inside),
9oz./sq.yd. 2-ply polyester fabric
with a 5 year manufacturer's limited warranty, commercially offered in a variety of colors.
Some of our Factory OEM canvas is available only in the original, white Aqualon® fabric
that was offered by the boat manufacturer.
Aqualon® is a pigmented vinyl coated (always white vinyl on the inside),
9oz./sq.yd. 2-ply polyester fabric
with a 5 year manufacturer's limited warranty, commercially offered in a variety of colors.
acrylic-coated 100% woven polyester 11.5 ounces (per square yard) fabric (600 denier)
is made by MarChem® CFI in New Haven, MO, USA
using a proprietary process
to coat both the top and bottom,
thus allowing the fabric to be completely reversible.
Water repellect Top Gun™ fabric is characterized by
excellent strength, durability,
tear and abrasion resistance,
dimensional stability, UV and mildew resistance,
and is backed by a
5-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
We offer Top Gun™ in very few applications.
Vinyl ...
Some of our aftermarket Tops and Factory OEM canvas are offered in marine grade Vinyl fabric.
Proposition 65 is a California law
intended to protect consumers in the state of California from exposure to certain chemicals that may be harmful.
The law requires that businesses notify Californians prior to sale if a product contains certain chemicals.
The law also requires that the manufacturer label the product with a warning.
Vinyl often contains the chemical Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) which is on the list of chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
DINP belongs to a family of chemicals commonly added to plastics to make them flexible (products such as garden hoses, athletic shoes, automobile and marine seating).
Exposure occurs through ingestion, inhalation and, to a lesser extent, dermal contact.
While such products are perfectly safe to use in their intended manner, the law still requires that we warn Californians of the presence of the chemical.
Covers
are made of a fabric with a weave that can "breathe"
to prevent mold and mildew.
Vinyl or vinyl coated fabric, such as
Weblon®, Stamoid®, Top Gun® or SeaMark® are not
recommended for covers, since the material does not breathe to ventilate the covered space.
We offer covers (depending on boat manufacturer) in one or more of the following fabrics:
Solution Dyed 100% Acrylic 9.5 oz./sq.yd. marine fabric
is used for
Console-Covers,
OEM Seat-Covers,
OEM Leaning-Post-Covers,
Bow Covers,
Cockpit Covers and
Mooring Covers.
This durable, 9.5 ounce per square yard fabric is colorfast and mildew resistant,
and is backed by the
Sunbrella® 10-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
Sunbrella® is the premium cover fabric in our opinion, since it is tough,
breathes and the fabric is woven with solution dyed acrylic fibers,
which last longer than polyester and retain colors extremely well.
Sunbrella® is made in the US (Anderson, SC) by Glenn Raven Mills®,
and is offered for all of our Factory OEM canvas and covers,
as well as our Carver® after-market
Custom-Fit™, Styled-To-Fit™
Boat Covers and Bimini Tops.
100% Solution Dyed 9 oz./sq.yd. Polyester fabric
(in Grey, Tan, Navy Blue or Black)
is used for
TTopCovers® T-Top/Hard-Top Boat Covers and
T-Top Center Console Storage Curtains.
Top-Notch® Elite® is breathable, reversible, water repellent, UV resistant,
dimensionally stable (won't sag or stretch) and mildew resistant.
Because the yarn is solution dyed, color fastness is very good.
Top-Notch Elite® is backed by a
5-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
100% Solution Dyed 8 oz./sq.yd. Polyester fabric
(in Navy Blue or
Black)
is used for
T-Top Boat Covers and
T-Top Center Console Storage Curtains.
Weathermax-80® is 100% solution dyed polyester
incorporating UV resistant characteristics for long-term color and strength retention
along with excellent breathablity and abrasion resistance.
The HydroMAX® finish raises the bar of hydrostatic performance and
delivers unsurpassed water repellency, mildew and oil resistance
without relying on environmentally unfriendly coating compounds.
WeatherMAX® has
anti-microbial properties
and a minimum UV resistance of 1000 hours
but only weighs 8.0 oz. per square yard
due to the use of a filament rather than a spun yarn like acrylic fabrics.
Excellent for anything from horse blankets to tough outerwear to marine grade tarps.
WeatherMAX® is backed by a
5-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
heavy duty, 600-denier, 7.6oz./sq.yd. solution dyed, marine grade polyester fabric
with a 100% polyurethane finish coating with a
is used for
Carver®
Custom-Fit™, Styled-To-Fit™ Trailerable and
Over-Top Boat Covers,
Universal Seat-Covers and
Universal Leaning-Post Covers.
100% Solution Dyed polyester means Sun-DURA® colors are part of the polyester fiber itself,
rather than the dye adhering only to the surface of the fibers.
7.6 ounce per square yard marine grade polyester offers superior resistance to harmful UV rays, fading, mildew, tearing and overall wear-and-tear.
Carver®'s own unique finish provides exceptional water repellency while maintaining breathability for the health of the boat.
Made in USA by Glen Raven Mills® (North Carolina manufacturer of Sunbrella®) for Carver® Industries.
Carver® Sun-DURA® is backed by a
7 Year Limited Warranty.
Black Resilience™
is a proprietary tough, black or white stretchy fabric (like Spandex)
with a quadruple coating on the outside to reflect the sun to
keep things cool beneath.
We use Resilience™ on our
T-Top-Storage-Bonnet (1-Year Limited Warranty) and
T-Top-Dry-Stack-Covers (3-Year Limited Warranty).
This is the same fabric made for the US Government to cover fuel storage tanks
in the desert to keep them cool.
The Limited Warrnty on these products includes free repair for any damage
caused by poor workmanship (excludes abuse).
Some of our Factory OEM canvas is offered in ClimaShield® Plus fabric
as offered by the boat manufacturer.
ClimaShield® Plus is woven with Dowco®'s Color-Lok® polyester yarn
(solution dyed so the fibers that make the threads are indvidualy dyed)
to provide superior fade resistance, product longevity and durability.
Inclusion of water-resistant anit-microbial coatings make this fabric resistant to the growth of mildew.
pigmented vinyl coated (always white vinyl on the inside),
9oz./sq.yd. 2-ply polyester fabric
with a 5 year manufacturer's limited warranty, commercially offered in a variety of colors.
Poly/Cotton Duck ...
50/50 polyester/cotton "Duck" fabric
(from Dutch "doek")
is a heavy, plain woven blended fabric
offering the advantages of both cotton and polyester fibers blended in one fabric.
Cotton is a fully breathable fabric, which helps prevent mold and mildew in your boat.
However, as the thickness increases, the breathability decreases.
100% cotton tends to rip and wear out easily, depending on the weave.
Cotton canvas is a very durable and abrasion-resistant fabric,
but it can be very thick and heavy.
Polyester does not breathe, but it is very elastic and
therefore tends to be very tear resistant.
However, it is not as abrasion-resistant as cotton canvas.
Poly/Cotton blend fabrics combine the strengths of the two fibers.
Poly/cotton fabric is breathable, tear-resistant,
and can be fashioned into abrasion-resistant fabrics, like canvas.
We make many older Factory OEM Mooring Covers
(to order) in
Grey
#6 weight (13oz per 36"x22" piece) 50/50 Poly/Cotton Duck fabric.

premium, flexible Urethane-coated poly-vinyl-chloride (PVC) sheet "glass" (60% higher cost)
engineered to be ultra clear and resistant to the damaging effects from the sun's rays,
environmental fallout and scratching from handling.
It also blocks out the UltraViolet (UV) spectrum of light (90% UVA, 99% UVB, 99% UVC).
Read more about
Strataglass® advantages.
Strataglass® is available in 20-mil (0.020"), 30-mil (aka 30ga = 0.030" thick),
40-mil (0.040") or 60-mil (0.060" = ~1/16") thickness.
The 40-mil is available in a clear, light smoke or dark smoke tint,
which is a special order (adds another 10% to the cost and 2 more weeks).
We recommend 30-mil for fishing boats, since the thicker vinyl is hard to roll up offshore.
Yachts may use 40-mil or 60-mil (even more costly) when the vinyl is seldom (if ever) rolled.
Strataglass® claims a
5 year life expectancy (care & exposure dependent),
but notes that many yacht owners see 10 or more years of use with proper care.
RNR-Marine™ recommends
cleaning
and removing all clear-vinyl prior to trailering,
to avoid the harmful efects of rocks, bugs and oils on the vinyl!

Each of our boat manufacturers' canvas pages
have Photos of the Factory OEM T-Tops, Hard-Top, Bimini-Tops, Canvas, etc. at the

Our Factory OEM canvas

Poly/Cotton Duck ...
50/50 polyester/cotton "Duck" fabric
(from Dutch "doek")
is a heavy, plain woven blended fabric
offering the advantages of both cotton and polyester fibers blended in one fabric.
Cotton is a fully breathable fabric, which helps prevent mold and mildew in your boat.
However, as the thickness increases, the breathability decreases.
100% cotton tends to rip and wear out easily, depending on the weave.
Cotton canvas is a very durable and abrasion-resistant fabric,
but it can be very thick and heavy.
Polyester does not breathe, but it is very elastic and
therefore tends to be very tear resistant.
However, it is not as abrasion-resistant as cotton canvas.
Poly/Cotton blend fabrics combine the strengths of the two fibers.
Poly/cotton fabric is breathable, tear-resistant,
and can be fashioned into abrasion-resistant fabrics, like canvas.

Proposition 65 is a California law
intended to protect consumers in the state of California from exposure to certain chemicals that may be harmful.
The law requires that businesses notify Californians prior to sale if a product contains certain chemicals.
The law also requires that the manufacturer label the product with a warning.
Vinyl often contains the chemical Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) which is on the list of chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
DINP belongs to a family of chemicals commonly added to plastics to make them flexible (products such as garden hoses, athletic shoes, automobile and marine seating).
Exposure occurs through ingestion, inhalation and, to a lesser extent, dermal contact.
While such products are perfectly safe to use in their intended manner, the law still requires that we warn Californians of the presence of the chemical.
Visors, Connectors, Spray-Shields,
Enclosures, Side-Curtains, Aft-Curtains and Gull-Wings

Flat, extruded 30-mil (0.030" thick, often called "30ga" or "30 gauge") clear, marine grade vinyl
(often called "Eisenglass" or "Isinglass")
as specified by the boat manufacturer.

Strataglass® advantages.
Strataglass® is available in 20-mil (0.020"), 30-mil (aka 30ga = 0.030" thick),
40-mil (0.040") or 60-mil (0.060" = ~1/16") thickness.
The 40-mil is available in a clear, light smoke or dark smoke tint,
which is a special order (adds another 10% to the cost and 2 more weeks).
We recommend 30-mil for fishing boats, since the thicker vinyl is hard to roll up offshore.
Yachts may use 40-mil or 60-mil (even more costly) when the vinyl is seldom (if ever) rolled.
Strataglass® claims a
5 year life expectancy (care & exposure dependent),
but notes that many yacht owners see 10 or more years of use with proper care.
RNR-Marine™ recommends
cleaning
and removing all clear-vinyl prior to trailering,
to avoid the harmful efects of rocks, bugs and oils on the vinyl!

Each of our boat manufacturers' canvas pages
have Photos of the Factory OEM T-Tops, Hard-Top, Bimini-Tops, Canvas, etc. at the
bottom of the page for verification
(Sea Hunt® Photos for example).
Please compare your boat against these photos to insure you have the
Original-Equipment (OEM) Top frame from the Factory
(some dealers, like Chatlee in NC and Ed's Marine Superstoe in VA,
for example,
install their own, after-market T-Tops).
Our Factory OEM canvas
does not fit after-market Tops!
Boston Whaler®, Sea Ray® and Grady White® do NOT allow
dealers to install their own, after-market tops on new boats,
so these are typically Factory OEM,
unless an owner installed their own top.

since we "make-to-order" (Just-In-Time = JIT)
