Childres Custom Canvas Products
80 Years of “Anything of Canvas”
In the dynamic world of textiles longevity speaks volumes
Since the 1940s, Childres Custom Canvas Products has been serving the fabric textiles industry as a custom product manufacturer for the Industrial, Filtration, Golf, Awning, and Canopy industries. Located in Duncanville, Texas, this family-owned and operated business has a rich heritage that spans multiple generations. As they climb towards 100 years in service, they have gathered a vast amount of experience, which is reflected in their wide selection of products and successful completion of countless projects.
Back in the ’90s, when times were really tough, Value Vinyls worked with us and did a really good job at helping us keep materials flowing when cash flow was tough.

A Protective Alliance
For over four decades, Value Vinyls has supplied premium vinyl fabric, enabling businesses like Childres Custom Canvas to deliver exceptional products. Childres specializes in designing, manufacturing, and installing various fabric products, including awnings, canopies, specialty fabrics, industrial products, marine covers, and more with in-house cutting, sewing, welding, and graphics capabilities.
At Value Vinyls, we are dedicated to upholding our Core Values which serve as the foundation of our company. Our first Value “We Care About People,” reflects our commitment to treating customers, vendors, and suppliers as partners. In the ’90s, during a challenging period for Childres, when cash flow was tight and uncertainty loomed, Value Vinyls didn’t just stand by as a distant supplier but stepped up as a trusted partner by providing critical support and ensuring materials kept flowing.
By working hand-in-hand with Childres, we were able to navigate the challenges together, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before while protecting the growth of the textile industry. This commitment to caring about people isn’t just a one-time gesture; it’s a fundamental aspect of how we conduct business every day. From providing personalized customer service to offering flexible solutions tailored to each partner’s unique needs, we strive to embody this core value in everything we do and supporting each other through thick and thin.
Among their extensive range of products and services, Childres’ expertise in canvas products enables them to provide awnings in a variety of shapes, styles, and colors. In addition to their product offerings, they also provide services such as custom sewing, repairs, and manufacturing. Notably, they manufactured and created a custom cover for the Federal Reserve’s conference room table; equipped with their logo.
Value-Driven Excellence in Every Product
Our mission is supported by offering a range of reliable products designed for various applications, including:
• Athletics
• Exterior Screens and Shading
• Industrial Use
• Specialty Fabrics
• Tarps
• Transportation; and more
One such product, Advantage MVP 18, has a wide range of uses that covers applications like Athletics, Truck Tarps, and more. As a newly implemented innovation by Value Vinyls, Advantage MVP 18 boasts an exclusive ColorSync feature. ColorSync is a limited, unified color palette between our Advantage and Provantage fabrics. This cohesive color range ensures that regardless of the fabric between these two product lines, the available ColorSync colors remain consistent between both products. This allows facilities to fully equip their indoor, FR, and outdoor applications with peace of mind that the colors will match across these applications.
Together Towards Success
At Value Vinyls, we believe that when we care about people, everyone succeeds. It’s not just good business; it’s the right thing to do. We pride ourselves on offering more than just products; we provide assurance to our customers. Our dedicated associates are equipped with extensive knowledge and experience with the capabilities to offer tailored solutions for every need our clients may have.
Looking to the future, we are excited to continue our journey alongside Childres Custom Canvas. As we celebrate over thirty years of collaboration, we’re grateful for the trust and confidence that Childres Custom Canvas has placed in us. Together, we’ll continue to push the boundaries of excellence in the custom canvas and textiles industry, creating innovative solutions for vinyl fabrics that exceed the expectations of both of our customers.
