fadeproof outdoor fabric
Nothing dulls a patio faster than cushions that have bleached to a pale ghost of their original color. Fadeproof outdoor fabric is made to stand up to long hours of direct sun, so your seating, umbrellas, and shade covers can keep their rich color season after season.
What Makes Outdoor Fabric Fade Resistant
Most fading happens when UV rays break down dyes that sit on the surface of the cloth. The most dependable UV resistant outdoor fabric locks color deeper into the fiber itself.
Features to Look For
- Solution-dyed fibers: solution-dyed acrylic fabric and similar materials get their color before the yarn is spun, so it runs all the way through.
- UV-resistant finishes: help slow color loss on surfaces that bake in the afternoon sun.
- Water and mildew resistance: keeps weather resistant fabric looking fresh after rain and humid spells.
- Easy care: many outdoor fabrics clean up with mild soap and water, but always check the care details for each fabric.
Where to Use It
Choose outdoor cushion fabric for chairs, chaise lounges, and benches, or a sturdier awning fabric for canopies and pergola shades. Sun resistant upholstery fabric also works well for boat seating, poolside pillows, and bright sunrooms.
