UV Protection for Marine Upholstery

UV radiation breaks down marine upholstery faster than any other factor. Here is how to protect your investment:

UV-Resistant Materials

Choose materials with built-in UV protection. Marine-grade vinyl and solution-dyed fabrics resist fading and cracking. The initial investment in UV-resistant materials pays off in longevity.

Protectant Sprays

Apply UV protectant sprays designed for marine vinyl every few weeks. These products create a barrier that blocks harmful rays. Reapply after heavy use or exposure to rain.

Covers and Shade

The best UV protection is keeping your boat covered when not in use. Custom covers block direct sunlight and prevent UV damage to all interior surfaces, including seats and cushions.

Regular Maintenance

Clean and condition upholstery regularly. Dirt and salt accelerate UV damage. A clean surface with a protective coating withstands sun exposure much better than neglected upholstery.
