outdoor faux leather
Outdoor faux leather gives you the rich look of real leather with a wipe-clean surface made for sun, rain and humidity. It is a smart choice for patio furniture, boat seats, poolside loungers and restaurant patios, where ordinary upholstery can wear out quickly.
Why It Works Outdoors
Indoor upholstery isn't built for the weather. Outdoor vinyl upholstery fabric and weatherproof leatherette are designed to shed water, and many can be cleaned with mild soap and a damp cloth. That makes spills, spray and pollen much easier to manage than with woven fabrics that soak them up.
What to Look For
- UV resistance helps limit fading and cracking in direct sun.
- Mildew resistance matters in damp, humid or coastal spots.
- Weight and backing should suit your project, from heavy seating to lighter covers.
- Color and texture should fit your space, whether you want smooth or grained finishes.
Features vary from fabric to fabric. Check each product listing for details before you buy.
