Outdoor Decorating Made Beautiful with Sunbrella Fabrics
Designed to meet the needs of today’s homeowners who want to expand their living spaces outdoors, Sunbrella fabrics are among today’s most important fabric choices. So, if you’re wanting to take advantage of the “great outdoors” in your own backyard, utilizing Sunbrella fabrics in your new décor might just fit the bill!
Originally designed and used in awnings, and then boating, Sunbrella fabrics have been in existence since 1961. And as today’s homeowners began creating additional living spaces outdoors, Sunbrella fabrics began taking on a whole new look. Featuring many fabulous designs, colors, and patterns, you’re sure to find a fabric that will fit your new
décor beautifully.
Even before “green” became a prominent element in home decorating products, the manufacturers of Sunbrella fabrics were committed to exceeding industry standards for environmental stewardship. Here are a few ways that Sunbrella fabrics protect air, earth and water, while producing beautiful, high performing textiles.
- Sunbrella creates no wastewater from dyeing. Their unique coloring process avoids harmful effluents associated with conventional dyeing processes.
- Sunbrella fabrics are extremely durable. Believe it or not, their lifespan is two to ten times longer than conventional fabrics.
- Sunbrella fabrics offer significant sun protection. Umbrellas, awnings and shades made from Sunbrella fabrics actually aid in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin. Not only do you receive a bit of personal protection, but these fabrics will not fade or rot from the harsh rays of the sun.
- Sunbrella features a soil and stain-resistant finish, so it’s very easy to clean. You can spot wash your fabrics by sponging briskly with a soapy solution of natural soap in lukewarm water. Then, simply rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove the soap and let the fabric air dry.
- These solution-dyed yarns do not promote mildew growth. However, mildew may grow on dirt and other foreign substances that are not removed from the fabric. To remove mildew stains, prepare a mild solution of one cup bleach plus two caps full of a natural soap per gallon of water. Spray on entire area, and allow it to soak in. Sponge thoroughly with clean water, and let air dry.
You’ll find this fabulous fabric available for use throughout your home. From decks, patios and poolside to dining rooms, family rooms, and even the kitchen and bath. So, if refreshing your outdoor décor is in your future, why not give this fabulous fabric a look! You won’t be disappointed.
