Sit back, relax and let Emery take the guesswork out of getting the right outdoor fabric for your patio, pool, porch or other outdoor space.
Updating your outdoor space for the summer
season can be an exciting task when it comes to choosing the perfect fabric for
your cushions and curtains. Outdoor fabrics come in many types and styles. The
most durable and fade resistant fabrics are made of 100% solution dyed acrylic.
The most popular brand of acrylic dyed fabric is Sunbrella. Another option is fabric consisting
of 100% acrylic. These fabrics are water resistant and have long lasting color
properties. The most budget friendly option are outdoor fabrics made of 100%
spun polyester. Many design options are available because polyester can be
screen printed. Unlike the acrylic options, polyester is not recommended
for use in direct sunlight. All outdoor fabrics are water and mildew
resistant. To keep your fabrics looking fresh all season long remember to use a
mild detergent and allow them to air dry. Another good tip is to store your
cushions when they are not being used.
To create a look that
lasts year after year and functions well next to the pool, choose a solution
dyed acrylic fabric. If you enjoy the excitement of changing your fabrics out
year after year, a spun polyester fabric would be a perfect option. Spun polyester
is also great for curtains, cushions, tablecloths, and pillows under your
covered porch.
