Cool Comfort: A Guide to Stay Cool Vinyls
Published: November 12, 2025
There’s nothing worse than hopping into a boat seat that’s been baking in the sun - until now. Thanks to innovative cooling vinyl technologies, you can enjoy darker, bolder colors and long-lasting comfort, even on the hottest days.
At Albright’s Supply, we’re proud to offer a collection of Stay Cool Vinyls that feature advanced heat-reflective technology designed to keep surfaces cooler to the touch. Let’s take a closer look at three standout options—Breeze, Sonar, and Tranquil—that bring together innovation, comfort, and style.

Breeze Marine Vinyl – Stay Cool with PermaCool Technology
Breeze by Spradling® features PermaCool™, a highly advanced reflective technology designed to reduce the amount of radiant heat absorbed by vinyl. This means your marine seating can stay up to 26°F cooler than traditional vinyls on hot, sunny days.
With Breeze, you no longer have to limit your design to light colors just to stay comfortable. Its expanded color palette includes deep, stylish shades like Navy, Mudslide, and Black, letting you design your boat interior exactly how you want—without sacrificing comfort.
Sonar Marine Vinyl – ChromaCool Technology from Enduratex
Sonar by Enduratex®, features ChromaCool™, a breakthrough technology that reflects UV rays to keep vinyl significantly cooler, even in direct sunlight. Through a unique combination of pigments, foam layers, and substrate, ChromaCool™ blocks heat before it’s absorbed.
This technology keeps coated fabrics up to 30°F cooler than standard black vinyls, allowing you to expand your design possibilities far beyond white and beige. Perfect for marine, outdoor, hospitality, and contract applications, Sonar provides comfort, style, and protection that lasts.
Tranquil Vinyl – Cool Comfort Meets Soft Touch
For those who love the look and feel of fabric but need the durability of vinyl, Tranquil delivers the best of both worlds. Featuring Driftech™ cooling technology, Tranquil stays up to 15°F cooler than traditional marine vinyl.
Soft to the touch yet tough enough for marine, outdoor, healthcare, and hospitality settings, Tranquil combines style, performance, and comfort in 11 designer colors.
Whether used for outdoor seating or boat interiors, Tranquil’s fabric-like texture and cooling performance make it a standout choice for all environments that demand both beauty and durability.

Tranquil Driftech Marine Vinyl
Beat the Heat with Stay Cool Vinyls
With these advanced vinyl technologies, PermaCool™, ChromaCool™, and Driftech™, you can design freely without worrying about overheated surfaces or fading comfort.
From sleek, dark marine interiors to vibrant outdoor seating, Albright’s Supply has Stay Cool Vinyls that redefine what’s possible under the sun.
