UV Protection for Custom Cooler Covers
UV-blocking fabrics and coatings for evaporative cooler covers — reduce fade, heat soak, and premature fabric failure on rooftop and sun-exposed units.
Key Benefits
How UV Damages Cooler Covers
Ultraviolet light breaks polymer chains in polyester and vinyl, causing stiffness, cracking, and color shift. Horizontal top panels see the highest dose — especially on down-draft and rooftop installs with no shade.
- South- and west-facing exposures degrade fastest
- Dark colors absorb more heat than silver or white tops
- Chalking on the fabric surface is an early replace indicator
- Interior pads are not protected unless the cabinet shell is shielded
Our UV Protection Technology
We specify UV stabilizers in the PU or TPU coating, UPF-rated yarns where required, and heat-reflective pigments on top panels. The UV-shield product line pairs 600D shell with a dedicated UV topcoat for full-roof exposure.
- UPF 50+ options on select SKUs
- Silver and white reflective tops for rooftop down-draft units
- Fade-resistant stock colors: gray, charcoal, silver
- Compatible with standard drawcord and strap hardware
When You Need UV-Rated Covers
Specify UV protection for any cooler in direct sun more than 6 hours per day, coastal sites with reflected glare, or facilities that cannot replace covers every season.
- Rooftop commercial and industrial cabinets
- Southwest US, Australia, and Middle East installs
- Property managers standardizing a fleet fabric spec
- Pair with waterproof package only if rain exposure also applies
