As spring is well under way, you might wonder why
performance fabric is a big deal when choosing your outdoor furniture from us
at Red Barn. “After all, it’s all got to be one big promotional put-on! I mean,
when you expose upholstery to the sun and the rain, inevitably, eventually, it
will fade, right?” Wrong! In this blog post we’ll go over why a scientifically
developed high-performance fabric such as Nuvella or Sunbrella is essential to
keep your outdoor furniture and accessories like new for many muggy summers and
cool evenings perfect for partying!
How Is Performance Fabric Different?
You might think performance fabric is simply dyed extra dark
once the fabric is made. That wouldn’t deliver what this lab-perfected
synthetic cloth offers you. The key here is “synthetic.” Your nylon or rayon
upholstery was originally molten plastic, before it was turned into tiny fibers
to make that striking burnt-orange outdoor sectional or relaxing chaise lounge
on which to sun yourself. When it’s still liquid-hot, that’s when the
manufacturer adds the color. That way, from the beginning, right down to the
core, every fiber, every molecule, of your performance fabric has your desired
color, so thoroughly that neither the sun nor rain can fade it!
What Is Performance Fabric Used For?
Manufacturers have discovered that performance fabric is a
selling point not only for long-lasting outdoor furniture and accessories
constantly in the sun such as patio umbrellas. It’s also great for your indoor
sofas and chairs because it’s incredibly stain-resistant. Any “oops” will wipe
right off simply with a cloth or sponge, water, and a little soap.
