I see by the responses that my razor-sharp communications have, as usual,
only served to bleed me :{/)

I'm looking to find where to look for interior patterns. Once found, I
presume I'll be able to buy them in various places. Without knowing what's
available, we'd chase all over here and yon before finding something we
liked.

So, someone in the business surely would know where and how to see
patterns
for Sunbrella interior fabrics on line.

Sorry for the ill-communicated request...

I apologize for not recalling who it is here with a marine canvas shop.
I
need to pick your brain on finding Sunbrella interior fabrics.

Thanks.

Have you checked the Sunbrella website?



I went first to Sunbrella.com - but was not very successful in finding
*interior* fabrics. That's been the challenge - I've seen, and can easily
find (and may also, once pointed, be able easily to find interior stuff)
exterior stuff.

However, anything looking like furniture or interior always seemed to be
related to patio stuff. That they hired someone (part of the google search
so helpfully suggested by another poster about 1000 hits after my going
directly to Sunbrella.com proved unfruitful) just to do interior suggests
they must have a significant range of patterns - the over-a-year-old press
release referred to more than 150 - but I haven't yet tripped on them.

Anyway, what prompted the original post was that one of the folks who has
been fairly active on these fora in past years has a business which does
this sort of thing; it was his mention of such fabrics, now, very long ago,
which prompted my search. My failure is what prompted my ping. Are you he?

It looks like the website only has a few of the furniture fabrics
listed. Our sample book has about 150 or so. If you call
Glenn Raven Mills or one of the distributors I would think
they could loan you a book.

Why use Sunbrella? The good thing about Sunbrella is the UV
resistance and you don't need that inside. We've used regular double
woven upholstery fabric with vinyl or some plastic fabric on the
bottoms of the cushions in the salon. That is, the tops and welting
on the cushions is the upholstery fabric and the bottom side is
waterproof. That's the way the cushions were originally and we've
kept it that way.

I remember the term for that kind of fabric - Jacquards. Something
similar to:

http://www.outdoorfabrics.com/show_f...abric=45070-06

Actually someone we know told us about a fabric store that was going
out of business (really final, not just periodical) and they had
Sunbrella, which we bought some of to do winch covers etc., and I
found dark jacquards with a small pattern, like dark blue with a
lighter weave of some color - mostly geometric patterns. I couldn't
get enough to do all the cushions in the boat, so I got three
different patterns - one for the V-berth, one for the main saloon and
one for the aft cabin. I don't see why they all have to been the same
anyway.

We usually make the bottoms of the cushions out of a mesh like
Textilene. That was any trapped water can drain out rather than
puddle and eventually rot the cushion.

Well the original cushions were 20 years old and have not rotted. I'm
talking about mattresses in the cabins and the cushions on the settee
in the saloon not the cockpit cushions. We replaced the insides when
we reupholstered because they were getting a bit 'limp' and the PO's
guest burnt a hole in the main saloon one.

For cockpit cushions we usually make them totally out of
Textilene and use AquaBatten as the foam. That way when
they get wet, the water just drains right out of them.

Well if what we did doesn't work, it will probably last longer than we
do anyway. And if not, we'll just make new cushions.
