Latitude by Strataglass
Strataglass LLC has introduced Latitude, a new marine fabric designed for use in vinyl enclosure products. This fabric aims to set a new benchmark in marine textiles by combining a refined look with strong durability. It is developed to meet the needs of fabricators, boat builders, and boat owners who require reliable protection without compromising on appearance or ease of handling.
Latitude uses a specially developed vinyl film technology that offers a soft feel while maintaining the strength needed for demanding marine conditions. The material is also designed for easy fabrication, making it suitable for various marine applications where both performance and workmanship are important.
The fabric is built to perform in harsh environments, offering resistance to cold cracking, tearing, weather damage, rot, and UV exposure. It also features a protective top layer that guards against common marine contaminants and makes cleaning easier. This layer helps maintain the fabric’s look and extends its lifespan, providing long-term value.
With its balance of softness, strength, and weather resistance, Latitude continues Strataglass’s focus on delivering high-quality marine materials and is expected to become a preferred option for professionals and boating users.
