Factors to Consider When Choosing Outdoor Upholstery Fabrics
Whether you're looking for outdoor fabric to reupholster all of your outdoor furniture, or simply want to make an easy, no-sew patio pillow, the project will require some type of fabric that is made specifically for outdoor use.
Make sure the fabric breathes well. If the fabric doesn’t breathe well, mold and mildew can become a problem.
Highly UV resistant fabrics are considered excellent. They will last longer when consistently exposed to sunlight.
Fabrics of your outdoor upholstery should be water resistant.
Fabrics with excellent colorfastness should be your choice. Colorfast fabrics stay bright and the colors do not fade or bleed.
Fabrics must have very good abrasion resistance. Outdoor upholstery fabrics in Sydney have high abrasion resistance but with a softer hand.
Clean-ability is important in outdoor fabrics. Fabrics with a single-side coating do not release dirt well and should be frequently inspected and cleaned.
