Gore-Tex® Thread

Whether it's your boat canvas, awning or other outdoor fabric structure, seam failure always results from thread that's adversly affected by the elements. Now that problem is solved forever.

Why does stiching fail?

Outdoor canvas is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, cleaning agents, pollution, saltwater and air, rain and snow. While these elements are detrimental to both the fabric and seam thread, the thread usually fails first. Polyester thread was traditionally used for sewing seams even though it would often need replacement every few years. Today the latest fabrics last 5 to 10 years. Why not have seams that last just as long?

Now there's Gore-Tex® sewing thread

This remarkable thread is manufactured from 100% expanded PTFE fiber, a unique form of PTFE known as Teflon®. Gore-Tex® sewing thread will not deteriorate from exposure to the elements. It's an ideal choice for sewing outdoor fabric products, because it's immune to ultraviolet degredation, the primary cause of seam failure.

The Gore-Tex® Guarantee

We know that Gore-Tex® sewing thread never fails due to exposure to the environment. We back up that claim with a full lifetime warranty. If the seams on your boat cover or awning fail before the end of the usual life of the fabric, we'll pay for the repair work.

Always ask for Gore-Tex® sewing thread

When it's time to restitch an awning or order a new boat cover or any other outdoor fabric product, request Gore-Tex® sewing thread.
