NorthStar™ Back-Lit Awning Fabric Now Offered in Seventy-Eight-Inch Width

Cleveland, Ohio—The Astrup Company has increased its fashionable NorthStar™ line of back-lit awning fabrics to include a seventy-eight-inch width. Ideal for broad, seamless expanses, seventy-eight-inch NorthStar by Astrup minimizes fabrication and reduces expense for awning manufacturers.

NorthStar, available exclusively through Astrup, is a unique, vinyl-coated polyester fabric displaying a fashionable, high-gloss, "wet look." The color is the same on the face and back side, making backlit awning displays more attractive. Like its sixty-one-inch counterpart, seventy-eight-inch NorthStar weight just thirteen ounces per square yard. The lightweight NorthStar fabric is easy to work with and can stretch over many shapes.

The durable fabric offers superior tensile and tear strengths and exceptional resistance to mildew, UV exposure, rot, fade, weather, scuff, and abrasion, ensuring a long product life. It is also waterproof, translucent, and dimensionally stable. Versatile NorthStar is highly receptive to a variety of graphic applications including paint, pressure-sensitive, heat transfer, and screen-printing.

Astrup will offer seventy-eight-inch NorthStar in six vibrant, solid colors: Blue, Yellow, Red, Kelly Green, White, and Winterberry. In addition to these six colors, original sixty-one-inch NorthStar is also available in Orange, Mint, Dark Green, Turquoise, Ivory, Plum, Black, and Hot Pink.

Carrying a five-year manufacturer's limited warranty, NorthStar meets the requirements of CFSM Title 19 and NFPA 701-89. It is registered with the California State Fire Marshall.
