ABSTRACT:
A decorative and translucent weatherable fabric for covering outdoor backlit structures is provided which includes a reinforcing scrim layer, an inner protective layer formed of a translucent white PVC applied to one side of the scrim layer, and a thicker substrate layer applied to the opposite side of the scrim layer. The substrate is also preferably a substantially translucent white PVC polymer. In one embodiment of the fabric for use with a reader panel of the awning, an outer transparent layer is adhered to the substrate layer and has UV resistant properties. A weatherable pressure sensitive decorative film is applied to certain portions of the transparent layer in a predetermined graphical pattern to create a foreground image. A second pressure sensitive decorative film may be applied to certain other portions to create a background image of a different color.
