what is sunbrella fabric used for
If you have ever wondered what is Sunbrella fabric used for, the short answer is: almost anywhere fabric meets sun, moisture or heavy use. This solution-dyed acrylic fabric is woven so the color runs through each fiber, which is why it is a go-to choice for projects that need to hold their color and stand up to the elements.
Popular Outdoor Uses
Outdoors, Sunbrella is a favorite for projects that live in the weather:
- Patio cushions and pillows for chairs, chaises and benches
- Awnings, canopies and shade structures
- Marine canvas such as boat covers, biminis and seating
- Outdoor curtains for porches and pergolas
Indoor Uses Worth Considering
Many people also choose it as an indoor upholstery fabric for sofas, dining chairs, window seats and headboards, especially in homes with kids, pets or sunny rooms.
What to Look For
Match the fabric weight and weave to your project. Canvas weaves suit awnings and covers, while softer upholstery weaves feel better on cushions and furniture. Check the care notes and pick a color or pattern that fits your space.
