PVC fabrics are highly popular due to their customisability as they are readily available in a wide variety of colours and can accommodate customised printing. They are also able to provide different levels of translucency to cater to project requirements. 

The PVDF (polyvinylidene difluoride) coatings reduce staining compared to standard materials with only an acrylic coating, resulting in a life span of 15-20 years. These coatings also enhance the UV and mold resistance of the fabric, as well as fire performance.
