Water-Resistant Seams
When buying custom industrial fit covers, you want to be sure they will keep your possessions safe, clean, and dry. But did you know that when you sew, the holes the needle creates in the fabric can leave your cover susceptible to leaks? Big box stores don't tell you their covers can leak at these stitching points in heavy rain. So, at the seams, you can get drip marks on your product. That is why ALCO offers water-resistant stitching sealing, which covers the stitching on the inside of the cover so rain and moisture can't get in and damage your furniture.
Our Covers Are Water-Resistant
While our covers use high-grade vinyl to stop water pools from penetrating them. While we can prevent water from getting inside, we cannot guarantee moisture from seeping in from under the covers. To completely avoid trapped moisture, it is advisable to choose a cover that has a tight fit and is a few inches shorter than the covered item (for air circulation).
Use Vinyl And Not Fabric Covers
The best protection against water is found in vinyl covers, which ALCO specializes in. Vinyl allows water droplets to bead up and slide down the industrial cover before they have time to soak through due to the slick surface. Polyester blends are also common, but their waterproofing treatment can wear off or end up becoming brittle and then cracking. This allows water that sits on the cover to drip through, so the cover stays wet after it rains. The resulting exposure could mean you spend even more on a new cover or replacing or fixing damaged products. Nearly every custom made industrial cover on the market claims it is waterproof, but when put to the test, most people find that “waterproof” means it only stands up to a slight drizzle. When the rain really starts to fall, your products can get soaked. It is important that you pick a material that can withstand heavy rain. Alco offers these high-grade vinyls that holds up to the elements!
