WEATHER-CHEK® AWNING FABRIC
Weather-Chek awning fabric from Herculite combines the textured, acrylic-like appearance of a woven textile with the vinyl-stable durability of a commercial-grade thermoplastic fabric. Designed specifically for weatherproof shade applications, Weather-Chek delivers a premium fabric look without sacrificing dependable performance.
A Rain Kleen® protective finish helps preserve the fabric’s color intensity, extend its useful life, resist dirt buildup, and make routine cleaning easier. This weather-resistant finish supports the long-term appearance and performance of Weather-Chek awning fabric in demanding outdoor environments. The fabric is also flame resistant (FR), meeting California State Fire Marshal Title 19, ASTM E84, and NFPA 701 standards.
Weather-Chek features a flexible polymer construction and soft hand, making the material easier to handle, sew, fit to frames, and install without damage. Its polyester-reinforced PVC construction provides the dimensional stability and structural integrity needed for architectural canopies and commercial awnings. Compared with woven fabrics, this construction can help reduce stretching, maintain a taut appearance, and support long-term shape retention.
As a premium option within the coated fabric assortment, Weather-Chek carries one of the longest warranties available among similar products. Unlike many traditional awning fabrics, Weather-Chek is also well suited for graphics and digital printing, allowing fabricators to produce high-clarity colors and imaging.
