We have listed a wide range of Water Resistant, Stain resistant, Fade Resistant Fabrics . Please feel free to ask for a sample of any fabric to get a true reflection of colour and texture as screen resolutions vary.
Not all water resistant fabrics are the same. The Sunbrella and Agora range of Teflon Acrylics will save you money in the long run as the are incredibly durable. For example we were asked to upholster the deck cushions on a the Super Yacht MY Turquoise. We used the same Sunbrella fabric as had been used when the boat was launched. To our utter astonishment, despite years of exposure to the Mediterranean sun.There appeared to be no sign of fading what so ever.
The new Agora range of cool, stylish, superior quality fabrics have been designed for diverse outdoor applications. (These fabrics are not compliant with the Furniture Fire Safety Regulations and if used indoors, the purchasers assume full responsibility for the suitability of this fabric for the application).Delicate, harmonious designs and textures deliver versatility and style for a variety of exterior solutions, combined with a Teflon® finish for improved stain and water resistance.
Agora allows you to tastefully create coordinated blinds and awnings, matched with outdoor seating and cushions.
The range also offers complementary styles to Sauleda’s existing Lisos range of leading acrylic solar protection fabrics.
Together, these brilliant, versatile ranges provide design flexibility in outdoor solutions – from canopies, outdoor seating and umbrellas, to more traditional domestic awnings.
PLEASE NOTE WATER RESISTANT DOES NOT MEAN WATERPROOF
Water resistant fabrics shed off water, we advise that should your covers be exposed to excessive rain, the water can penetrate through the fabric and the seams. Cushions upholstered in Agora or Sunbrella Water Resistant Fabric should not be left outside.24/7 for 365 days of the year. The UK climate is far too damp. Our experience has shown that cushions covered with Agora Lisos fabric can be left outside 24/7 during the spring and summer month with no ill effect. Any ingress of water as a result of heavy rainfall will dry quickly. Please take time to familiarise yourself with our care and maintenance guide to get the very best from Agora & Sunbrella Fabrics.
