Tri Vantage has enhanced and expanded its Cover Express Program, which offers sun control professionals pre-fabricated covers for the Solair Select and Solair Comfort retractable awnings.

The program now includes all Sunbrella, Sunbrella Mayfield Collection and Dickson fabrics. With additional pre-fabricated cover options, Sun Control Professionals can deliver a more customized awning quickly and efficiently, even during peak season.

Introduced in spring 2009, the Cover Express Program offered sun control professionals the option to choose from pre-fabricated covers in three Sunbrella solid colors or 11 popular Sunbrella striped covers. Now, professionals can choose from any pattern of Sunbrella, Sunbrella Mayfield Collection and Dickson fabrics, in addition to the standard Sunbrella choices. The expanded choices are available at a slight up-charge from the standard Cover Express options, yet still offer an exceptional value. The standard solid Sunbrella fabric covers are available with a Scallop style valance, while the striped selections are available with an Ocean Wave style valance. 

Covers are sewn with Tenara thread and shipped within 24 hours after ordering, providing professionals with a fully-finished cover that’s ready for assembly on separately sold Select or Comfort frames.

“The response to the initial offering was overwhelming and our customers have requested we offer additional options in the Cover Express Program. Therefore, we expanded the program to include more fabric choices,” said Dan Fouratt, director of Tri Vantage Sun Control. “This program allows our customers to generate more sales and provide the end user with a high quality product.”
