Fire-Retardant Awning Fabrics from Sunbrella®: Safety Meets Innovation


Shop Sunbrella Exceed FR awning fabric at Trivantage® – designed to self-extinguish in case of fire, the cutting-edge fabric is made with built-in flame resistance, all while keeping the same quality and style customers expect from Sunbrella.


This inherently fire-retardant, flame-resistant shade fabric has passed and complies with a total of 12 FR tests and certifications, including NFPA 705, California Title 19, NFPA 701, and CPAI-84. As with all Sunbrella shade fabrics, Exceed FR is water- and oil-repellent while still being breathable to create a pleasant and comfortable space below.


Exceed FR is in response to more requests from fabricators, particularly for commercial projects, for a go-to FR fabric that stands up to the most up-to-date national and regional regulatory requirements. Sunbrella Exceed FR makes that ask easy, because the FR piece of the puzzle is woven into the fibers, versus applied to it later on. It doesn’t compromise the elevated look and feel, either.


Additionally, Exceed FR offers superior sun protection with a UPF 50+ rating, blocking 97% of UV rays. The fabric is bleach-cleanable and resistant to mold, mildew, dirt, stains, and fading and is backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty from Sunbrella.


Exceed FR is available in four versatile colors: Black, Captain Navy, Forest Green, and Jockey Red.
