Polyfab™ Sun Protection

Polyfab, a trusted suppler of premium shade sail fabrics and supplies, is readily available from Trivantage® for shading commercial or residential outdoor spaces. Solar shades made from Polyfab products are ideal for patios, schools and playgrounds, shopping centers, hotels, pools, parking lots, and more.


An innovation in canopies, shade sails offer a modern look, flexible design, and wider coverage than traditional awnings or umbrellas. Use Polyfab fabric, hardware, and webbing together to create high-quality canopies. Choose from nearly 50 fade-resistant colors across three Polyfab shade sail fabric collections. Each style is made from woven HDPE for high strength and tension capability.


Polyfab’s Comtex®, Polytex®, and Architec 400® shade cloths consistently set and refine industry standards. Through rigorous research and development, Polyfab has improved the performance of these fabrics in recent years. Today, the company has taken its shade cloths to a whole new level with Polytex+ and Comtex+, both of which come with all the benefits of Polytex and Comtex as well as new, exciting advancements:


  • Improved pigment system for greater longevity
  • New colors
  • Heat set fabric that is easier to work with
  • 12-year warranty backed by Polyfab

Polytex+ and Comtex+ coupled with Architec 400 creates a complete offering. Architec 400 – the industry heavyweight champion for large shade structures – has excellent lay flat properties and comes with a 15-year warranty.

Seaquest: Proven, Reliable, New Colors

Over the last 10 years, Nassimi Seaquest has proven to be a reliable marine seating fabric. With an embossed leatherlike surface, this durable, marine grade upholstery fabric protects against UV rays, water, mildew, stains, and abrasion. Seaquest is now available in 12 new colors, offering you even more fashionable selections.


With the launch of 12 new colors – including Foam, Pewter, Sunflower, and Evergreen – you and your customers will have fresh, on-trend options to choose from. Trust Seaquest for tough marine upholstery projects like exterior marine cushions and boat interiors. While great for boat upholstery, Seaquest also works well in hospitality, healthcare, automotive, residential, and commercial markets, for applications both indoors and out.


Each new color will be available in Roll-N-Pleat by the full roll, and the 1½-width channel pleat comes already built into the fabric to reduce time spent sewing. In conjunction with the new colors, 10 Seaquest colors will be discontinued. But you can count on Trivantage to support the discontinued colors through the end of 2022, allowing you to complete any jobs you have underway.

Discover the NEW Designer & Workroom Experience at Trivantage.com

Trivantage® exhibited at the Custom Workroom Conference for the first time in October, and our team is pleased to report strong attendance and a surge of interest in decorative projects at an event created by and for workroom owners. With 80 exhibitors and more than 300 attendees, the one-day show brought together those who have turned a love of creating window treatments, upholstered furniture, and soft furnishings into successful businesses.


It was clear from the conference that it is succeeding in its mission to strengthen the workroom industry through quality education and relationships with other workroom professionals. We experienced this firsthand at the Trivantage booth and in education sessions focused on new methods, timeless techniques, and inspiring ideas. Our team also shared insights on fabrics and accessories for design-minded fabricators, top shelf workrooms, upholstery shops, interior designers, and decorative jobbers. One lucky visitor to our booth entered our drawing and won a 1961 Tote, an everyday tote made with Sunbrella® and named after the year the legendary performance fabric was founded.
