WeatherShield® now has a "big
brother".....WeatherShield HD
Developed primarily for intense sun environments and long-term storage,
WeatherShield HD not only provides UV
opacity, it repels water, blocks dust, tree sap and bird droppings, and is still
breathable to allow moisture and heat to escape from under the cover.
The base material for
WeatherShield HD is woven by Glen Raven Mills (makers of Sunbrella®), using
solution dyed UV resistant polyester fibers (see insert below to learn why
solution dyed fabrics are better - courtesy of Glen Raven Mills). Not only
is the fabric solution dyed, the 300 denier construction is
40% heavier than regular WeatherShield
and the heavier denier thread provides
double the tear and tensile strength.
 This
superior base fabric is then finished
with a patented immersion encapsulation
process...the same high
performance finish used on our popular WeatherShield fabric. Using proprietary processes
a specially formulated finish is placed inside the fabric to bond to each individual thread and
fill the valleys between the woven fibers (see close-up
at left). These special formulas have amazing elasticity to block
moisture and dirt, while still maintaining the breathability of the fabric.
Who needs WeatherShield HD? People who live in intense sun climates and
along the coast will benefit most from this new fabric, plus RV owners looking
for the best cover for long-term storage. It's not as compact as regular
WeatherShield, and the heavier denier fibers aren't as silky-smooth, but
for
maximum performance in the harshest environments you can't beat
WeatherShield HD.
