When browsing outdoor fabrics, you'll often see a GSM" rating, which stands for Grams per Square Meter. This number indicates the fabric's density and is a key factor in its performance. A higher GSM, like that found in heavy-duty awning fabrics, generally means a thicker, more durable material with greater tear resistance. A lower GSM might be used for decorative cushions where a softer feel is desired. Spuncrylic® offers a range of fabric weights to suit different applications, from robust marine-grade textiles to lighter upholstery options. Understanding GSM helps you make an informed decision, ensuring you select a fabric with the right balance of strength, texture, and suitability for your specific outdoor project.
