Since 1981
growing his first 900 sq ft shop to the
current 10,000 sq ft shop, Curt Renshaw has practiced quality
workmanship at a competitive price. He has established many long lasting
relationships with his clients over the years. Curt feels knowing the
needs of customers and applying his expertise of canvas has made his
success. One rewarding event was donating an awning for a family in need
through ABC’s Extreme Home Makeover. We were contacted on Friday and had
it installed on Monday.
Be it marine
canvas or shade awnings or anything in between- Canvas Factory has you
covered.
Innovation
We continually try to keep our shop up with the
times and looking to the future with new innovated machinery. We attend
conferences and trade shows regularly to have knowledge
of the latest technology. In the last
decade we have added the Steel Stitch (www.steelstitch.com)
system, fabric welding machines (www.sineqco.com),
and an automated cutting machine. Our welding shop has the latest
cutting tools and welders. We are able to weld steel, aluminum, and
stainless steel.
The composition of the thread in the industry has
not kept up with the fabric. Seams are the first to fail; therefore
usually meaning a recover that otherwise would not be needed. Years ago
we were the first in the industry to introduce the Steel Stitch staple
in system for awnings. This system features aluminum tubing with no sew
fabric. We manufactured our
back
lit marquee awning with this system. Please see another project at their
website under custom canopies in their project galleries.
Next to come was Triad and Spec wedge welding
machines that could also be used for marine applications. The seam is
watertight, warranted for the life of the fabric, and allows the seam to
lay very flat.
The latest purchase is an automated cutting
machine. This computerized machine cuts at 40” per second with an
accuracy of 12/1000th
of an inch. It makes quick work of awning covers.
