Choosing the Right Fabrics

Why Choosing the Right Fabrics for Boat Interiors and Exteriors is Crucial

Experienced sailors know that selecting the right materials for boat interiors and exteriors is essential. Materials must be resistant to moisture, salt, sunlight, and fire. Moisture and salt, combined with intense sunlight, create a potent combination that can cause significant damage to boats.

Given the short sailing season, no one wants to spend valuable time in the marina waiting for replacements. However, many seasoned sailors sometimes opt for non-marine parts due to their availability or lower cost. For example, they might install a regular faucet or bring a home item aboard because of personal preference or budget constraints.

Such choices often lead to regret after just one season.

What are the essential facts about marine fabrics that every boat should know? 

Well, just a few. 

1. outdoor fabrics are not made to resist the combination of salt, sea and constant exposure to the sun. Read more about it under Product Information, Resistance to Sun.

2. its not the use that wears off the marine fabrics - its the exposure to marine enviroments.

3. if the fabrics you are using on your boat are outdoor and not marine - you will surely enjoy them - but just for one season. Read about the difference between the nautical and outdoor fabrics here. 

4. the real enemy is the mold! That is why the real marine textiles are always having antifungal properties. (check our certificate on the link!)

5. polyester is durable, yes. But to sit on it after it has been under the Sun for the whole day it's not really comfortable. That's why you need an organic fabric. Nothing feels like natural fabrics on the naked skin.

6. you deserve comfort, and the linens if they are not marine will most definitely acquire a funny smell.
