Apply Sunbrella/Glen Raven fabric warranty terms correctly when quoting an awning re-cover or maintenance contract

Steps

1. Confirm which Sunbrella warranty tier applies to the specific fabric: 5-year limited warranty for upholstery/specialty/decorative-shade fabrics, versus the 10-year limited warranty for dedicated shade and marine fabrics
2. Note that even under the 10-year warranty, labor cost coverage is only included for the first 5 years; years 6-10 cover replacement fabric material only, not labor, which should be reflected in any re-cover/maintenance contract pricing
3. Explain the solution-dyed color mechanism to clients when discussing fade claims; color is added to the acrylic fiber before extrusion, which is why Sunbrella resists washout/fade versus surface-dyed fabrics, and this underlies the warranty's fade coverage
4. Document the installation date and specific fabric line at time of install, since warranty claims require proof of purchase/installation date and the specific product
5. When quoting a maintenance/cleaning contract, keep scope aligned with what actually triggers a valid warranty claim (color or strength loss from normal exposure) versus damage from improper cleaning, which likely voids that portion of coverage
