umbrellas provides the perfect personalized finishing touch to your
space and helps to make your outdoor set a true reflection of your
indoor style and a brilliant customized look.
Which fabrics are best for outdoors?
Fabrics that are fade and water resistant are always some of the
best choices. Fade resistance adds lifetime to the colour of the
fabric, it will be used outside and will be exposed to UV light which
is damaging to the pigment in the fabric and causes it to decay
over time. Water resistance helps prevent staining and slows mold
growth, even though these fabrics are meant to be used outside
they should always be covered or stored when not in use to extend
the life of your cushions.
