1. Polyester: Polyester is a common umbrella fabric with bright colors, but it tends to show creases when folded and can be challenging to smooth out. It usually doesn’t have strong UV protection, though you can improve this by adding a silver coating.

 

2. PG Fabric: PG fabric, also known as touch fabric, typically has a matte finish and darker colors. It feels a bit like cotton and is good at blocking light. It’s often found in high-end umbrellas due to its higher cost and reliable UV protection.

 

3. Nylon Fabric: Nylon fabric is another high-end option, known for its vibrant colors and silky texture. However, it can be affected by humidity, leading to fabric shrinkage that may affect the umbrella’s opening and closing.

 

4. Transparent Plastic: Transparent umbrellas have become popular lately. They’re usually made from materials like POE (polyolefin elastomer) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic or EVA and may feature various patterns and colors.

 

5. Foldable Black Coating: This fabric has some advantages compared to others, such as being less prone to aging, reducing temperature under sunlight, and offering excellent UV protection.

 

Each type of umbrella fabric has its own characteristics and uses, so you can choose the one that suits your needs and budget.
