Florida College Protected by Serge Ferrari, Trivantage®


Congratulations to our partners at Hoover Architecture Products for their winning submission in the Serge Ferrari 25th anniversary color contest. The contest was launched in partnership with Trivantage to celebrate a new custom anniversary color – Revival Blue – for Serge Ferrari’s best-selling exterior solar protection fabric, Soltis Proof 502. Trivantage is the exclusive provider of the new color for this industry-leading waterproof membrane fabric.


The winning project was a 1,400-square-foot shade sail installed at Broward College in Davie, Florida, by Hoover Architecture. The space serves as an outdoor classroom or study area, and the shade sail provides protection from the brutal Florida sun. The Revival Blue colorway also coordinates with the college’s blue primary brand color. As the grand-prize winner, Hoover Architecture owner Matt Carroll will receive a trip for two to France to tour Serge Ferrari’s high-tech global textile manufacturing facility in La Tour-du-Pin, near Lyon, one of the oldest cities in France known for its rich 2,000-year-old history.


As background, Soltis Proof 502 is a waterproof, durable, lightweight, and easy-to-clean fabric that delivers superior flexibility and strength to allow creative freedom of shape and size for various outdoor applications. This cutting-edge fabric with a desirable satin finish and PVDF coating on each side for long-term dirt resistance is ideal for awnings, pergolas, shade sails, light structures, and fixed shading systems. Soltis Proof 502, available in 40 total colors, is backed by a 10-year warranty from Serge Ferrari.
