Sunbrella Outdoor Fabric Material
High-Performance Outdoor Fabric with Lasting Style
Sunbrella® fabric is a trusted choice for premium outdoor living, featured in many of our cushion covers, umbrellas, and other soft furnishings. Known for its durability, colourfastness, and low-maintenance appeal, it delivers both comfort and confidence in exposed outdoor environments.
Made from 100% solution-dyed acrylic, Sunbrella® fabric is resistant to fading, moisture, mildew, and harsh UV exposure. The fibres are dyed throughout—not just on the surface—allowing colours to remain vibrant over time, even in direct sunlight.
Despite its robust performance, Sunbrella® maintains a soft, breathable texture with a natural, canvas-like feel. The hydrophobic (water-repellent) nature of acrylic fibres means the fabric sheds water, yet still allows air to circulate—an ideal combination for outdoor use.
Whether used on deep seating cushions, dining chairs, or cantilever umbrellas, Sunbrella® provides long-lasting comfort with minimal upkeep. Proper care ensures it continues to look fresh and refined through all seasons.
