Cooley Announces New Weathertyte® Lite - Weathertyte Lite offers exceptional ‘lighter weight’ protection

Pawtucket, RI—Cooley Sign & Awning Products is pleased to introduce Weathertyte Lite, a lighter-weight version of Weathertyte Advanced Awning Substrate. Weathertyte Lite is an 11-ounce, technically advanced waterproof material, which offers the look and feel of a woven fabric but has all the benefits of a high performance composite vinyl.

Weathertyte Lite has all the benefits of Weathertyte, but its lighter weight offers easier handling and makes it the perfect fabric for applications where protection from the environment is key, such as boat covers and bimini tops, flags and banners and so much more. Weathertyte Lite can be decorated with conventional techniques and all colors can also be easily digitally printed.

Weathertyte Lite is UV and fungus resistant and will be available in a variety of colors in 74”widths. More information about Weathertyte Lite can be found at www.weathertyte.com.
