Outdoor Fabric
When I first entered the industry, outdoor fabrics were very basic and had a distinct canvas look and feel. However, over the years, there have been significant advancements in outdoor fabric options. They have become more diverse, offering a wide range of textures, patterns, and colors.
Now, outdoor fabrics can mimic the look and feel of indoor fabrics, allowing you to create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces.
Outdoor fabrics are usually composed of their Solution Dyed Acrylic or Polypropylene. These type of outdoor fabric have mildew-resistant properties and an ability to manage moisture and High UV and lightfastness resistance.
There is often confused between the terms ‘waterproof’ and ‘water resistant’.
First off, does ‘outdoor fabric’ necessarily also mean that the fabric is waterproof or water resistant? Waterproof items completely block the penetration of water through their fabric or material. Water-resistant fabric or material has a medium protection level, meaning that it will not completely repel water but is woven to deter it. Outdoor fabrics don't have to be 100% waterproof since they're not exposed to rain or snow all year round. However, they do need to be able to resist moisture in the air and stay strong despite repeated exposure to UV rays from sunlight.
