With the continuing growth and evolution of production techniques for textiles, fabricators have many new construction options and processes to consider. One of the many considerations that must be taken into account in the creation of a sign, awning or display is the fabric that will ultimately be used. As the project is being designed, the selection of the right fabric is critical so that it matches up with the production process and materials that will be used, as well as finishing, installation and location considerations. Typical factors affecting fabric selection include weather, sun and UV exposure, desired color fastness, fiber content and weave, durability and expected life span, and the specific production process.
