New Consumer Resource from the Marine Fabricators Association

May 9, 2008 - PRLog -- A new consumer resource Web site is ready to help new and seasoned boaters explore the vast choices in customization for upholstery and boat canvas.

Site visitors to http://www.marinecanvas.com can explore the benefits of using canvas professionals; the wide variety of products available for boat interiors and exteriors; care; maintenance; trends and much more. Consumers will be able to contact professional marine fabricators through a comprehensive location finder for Marine Fabricator Association (MFA) member shops in your area. These shops belong to the professional trade association Industrial Fabrics Association International and its division the Marine Fabricators Association. As part of their membership, they have taken a Code of Ethics pledge. Many maintain and upgrade their skills through frequent workshops and certification opportunities. Additional links to Web resources on the boating lifestyle will be included.

MFA members will also use the same URL with exclusive access to the Members only section of the site. The Members only sections gives access to business resources published by the MFA such as the Time Standards Manual and Marine Specifier’s Guide. Additional perks including a special forum gives members the ability to easily network and rely on one another’s experience through a question and answer forum.

Be sure to visit the site often as it will be updated on a weekly basis with new information for both the consumer and the fabricator.
