What Does “UV8” Really Mean?

“UV8” means our fabric can withstand up to 8 years of direct sunlight before showing significant degradation.
This rating is based on lab testing using Q-Sun lamps simulating prolonged UV exposure.
New Zealand’s extreme UV index pushes materials to the limit—so we continuously test and evolve our materials to meet these conditions.

Lab-Tested Fade Protection You Can Trust

Our fabric was tested by SGS, the world leader in certification and testing.
Using xenon arc lamp exposure (Q‑Sun test), SGS confirmed our fabric meets UV8 standards for colour fastness and material strength.

SGS-Certified UV Testing

Tested with Q‑Sun by SGS to resist colour fading from long-term UV exposure.

Strength Retention

The fabric maintains structural strength longer under sun exposure compared to standard covers.

Protects Surface Materials

Blocks UV from degrading seals, plastic fittings, and painted surfaces—even in partial shade.

Why Strength Drops Without UV Protection

UV rays break down fabric fibres over time. Our lab tests show untreated polyester loses strength quickly, while UV8-treated fabric maintains its integrity far longer.

That means less tearing, less fraying, and longer lifespan for your outdoor cover.

How to Maximise the Lifespan of Your Cover

Title

To extend the life of your UV8-rated cover, avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage the protective coating. Clean it regularly with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and always allow the cover to dry completely before storing. Make sure to remove debris like leaves or dirt to prevent buildup that can wear down the fabric over time.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

I’ve had my UV8 cover on our caravan for nearly two years, parked outside in full sun. It hasn’t faded a bit! Previous covers would crack and bleach out in one season. This one still looks and feels brand new. Super happy with the durability so far.

We live by the beach, and the UV here is brutal. This cover has protected our boat through salt air, sun, and strong winds. The stitching and colour are still perfect. Definitely worth paying a little extra for long-term protection. Highly recommend!

Rachel, Christchurch

Verified Buyer

Our last cover left chalky white powder after a few months of UV damage. Not this one! The UV8 fabric is tough and keeps its texture. After a full summer in Rotorua sun, it hasn’t faded or cracked at all. Impressed with the quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help finding an answer to your question?

Do I still need UV protection if my caravan is already parked in partial shade?

Yes. UV rays can still cause damage even in indirect light or shaded areas. A UV-resistant cover adds an extra layer of protection, especially to plastic fittings, seals, and paintwork.

How does UV affect the strength of the cover fabric?

Without UV protection, fabric tensile strength drops significantly over time, meaning the material becomes brittle and more likely to tear. UV-stabilised fabrics help preserve the strength and structure of the cover for longer.

How long will the cover last in New Zealand conditions?

Our covers are designed and tested for high-UV environments like New Zealand. While actual lifespan depends on conditions and care, UV8-rated fabric gives you strong long-term performance with proper maintenance.

What other factors of fabric can reduce UV damage?

Tightly woven polyester limits the amount of UV light that passes through the fabric. Heavier, thicker fabrics that have no stretch provide further protection.Fabrics that absorb water are more likely to allow UV damage. Our fabric is 100% water-resistant and the water beads off.
