Sunbrella was awarded this honor for its UV A&B-resistant awning fabrics by The Skin Cancer Foundation, an international organization dedicated to the prevention of skin cancer.  The Seal signifies that the 100% acrylic Sunbrella fabrics have passed the Foundation's rigorous testing criteria and offer significant levels of sun protection. To date, this seal has been awarded to just 310 products in the United States.

This Seal of Recommendation is an important endorsement since many consumers are concerned not only with having comfort when purchasing an awning but with increasing safety from the sun as well.

Indeed, according to The Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans will get skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. By 2010, melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) is projected to occur in one in 50 Americans.
