Why You Should Be Using Outdoor Fabric for Basically Everything
The world of outdoor fabrics has evolved. We are no longer limited to a range of heavy acrylics in tropical prints. Instead of stiff, scratchy cushions, we can enjoy soft, luxurious fabrics outdoors that rival interior textiles.

WHAT ARE OUTDOOR FABRICS?
Outdoor fabrics are designed to withstand the stress of living outside. The woven textiles are made from a variety of materials including acrylic, synthetic fibers, blends of cotton, polyester and linen. These vary in aesthetics and quality which greatly determines how long they will last outdoors.

Most outdoor fabrics are breathable and through manufacturing techniques, they’re designed to repel water. Quality outdoor textiles will be resistant to soiling and water-based stains as well as be resistant to mold and mildew.

KEY FEATURES OF OUTDOOR FABRICS
When choosing outdoor fabrics, you want to ensure the textile is going to weather well outside. To a great extent, the types of fabric you choose will come down to how you want to use your furniture and where it will be placed outdoors.

Some of the key features of outdoor fabrics include:

Fade resistant

Weather resistant

Mold and mildew resistant

Waterproof

UV resistance

Stain resistant

Breathable

Washable – machine or hand wash

THE NEW WAVE OF OUTDOOR FABRICS
As we spend more time living outdoors, our desire for comfortable outdoor furniture that can withstand the external environment deepens. As a result, we’re seeing more lounge furniture that would be just as fitting inside come onto the market. Because of this outdoor fabrics are evolving to improve the level of comfort.

Our specialist outdoor Belgium linen range highlights a new wave of outdoor fabrics. Unlike the strong, heavy acrylic textiles, the outdoor linen is incredibly soft and gets better with age. It’s such a lovely fabric collection, you could use it inside without anyone associating it with the outdoors. This is a great solution for those with children who desire durable, yet luxurious, fabrics that can withstand dirty feet and sticky hands.
