Coming Soon: IFAI Expo


The countdown is on: IFAI Expo, the flagship show for the industrial textile industry, is set for Oct. 12-14 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and as your partner, we at Trivantage® look forward to reconnecting with you in person to discuss the variety fabrics, tools, and hardware we offer to best suit your needs.


We invite you to visit Booth #1627 and see for yourself the quality products and innovative solutions behind our game-changing marine and shade offerings, including:


  • Hydrofend® cover fabrics – Hydrofend is a solution-dyed polyester with a proprietary high-performance back coating. Available exclusively from Trivantage, the product is designed to balance high water resistance with breathability, and its multi-purpose applications include boat covers, bimini tops, boat enclosures, storage covers, and furniture covers. Click here for a complete listing of 13 available colors, including our two newest colorways, mahogany brown and hunter green.
  • Marine Shade Fly – The heat may be on this summer, but a Marine Shade Fly offers convenient, easy shade when needed the most. This easy-on-and-off application provides a cool, comfortable on-board boating experience, and you will see our premium boat shade poles firsthand at IFAI Expo. We’ll also show you some of the most popular shade fabrics we’ve hand-selected from multiple collections to pair beautifully with any of the shade pole sets.
  • Engineering Services – You won’t want to miss Awning Composer®, an easy-to-use rendering software designed to move projects to production in half the time. As part of a new service solution from Trivantage for awning and shade fabricators, we are now offering access to professional engineers for awning or shade sail projects that require sealed computer-aided design (CAD) drawings or engineering letters of approval. Stop by our booth to learn how a simple, three-step process assists licensed engineers in all 50 U.S. states in providing the technical information needed for them to run load calculations on your projects.


Watch this space in the months ahead for additional previews on IFAI Expo and how you can experience the Trivantage difference at the show.
