Clear vinyl offers a versatile fabricating solution for many applications. It resists yellowing, clouding, scratching, and UV damage. This makes it tough enough to stand up to heavy marine conditions. Use the heavy-duty clear vinyl for boat and patio enclosures, automotive windows, awnings, tents, and tarps. Clear vinyl is a durable material that comes in many thicknesses. With clear vinyl, the higher the gauge, the thicker it is. The gauge of window material refers to the thickness. A 20-gauge material is 0.020-inch thick; a 30-gauge piece is 0.030-inch thick and so on. Gauge can also be a measure of flexibility. Typically, the thicker the gauge the less flexible the window material will be. 60 gauge is thick at 0.06 inches and 4 gauge is only 0.004 inches. The optical clarity of a clear vinyl tells how easy it is to see through. In general, clear vinyl has less structural integrity than the typical tent fabric because there is no internal scrim cloth to hold it together. By its very nature it is more susceptible to scratching, cracking, shrinking, and marring. Sidewalls will have a longer life expectancy but are more variant on weather conditions.
