What is Sunbrella®?
Sunbrella® is the world’s leading outdoor upholstery technology. Its performance fabrics are made of 100% solution-dyed acrylic fibres which are treated with colour and are UV stabilised prior to being spun into shape.
Sunbrella®’s Key Features & Benefits:
- It’s stain resistant
- It’s UV resistant so your fabrics’ colour won’t fade
- It’s water repellent
- It’s mould and mildew resistant
- It’s a very breathable type of fabric
- It features a fast-dry time
- All Sunbrella® cushions feature “breathers” under their bottom to allow extra ventilation
Our Aruba outdoor furniture collection includes several pieces featuring Sunbrella® fabrics, such as our Aruba Square outdoor chaise and occasional chair, both pictured.
How To Care For Sunbrella® Outdoor Furniture:
- Remove cushion covers and machine wash them in cold water using a mild laundry detergent.
- Always rinse well and thoroughly any Sunbrella® fabric.
- Sunbrella® fabric air-dries very quickly. Do not machine or tumble dry the fabric as the stitching may shrink.
- It is not necessary to iron the Sunbrella® fabric, but if you do, please ensure your iron is set to the synthetics setting.
- Do not use a steamer or set your iron to steam setting.
- Do not dry clean Sunbrella® fabrics.
Keep in mind that the level of care required for Sunbrella® outdoor furniture may vary depending on the environment in which it is going to be located. At Artisan Exterior, we suggest implementing a monthly cleaning and maintenance check to best ensure there is no damage to your Sunbrella® furniture.
All Sunbrella® fabrics feature "breathers" under the bottom of all cushions. This allows ventilation through the small rubber-like mesh area. Breathers also assist in the drying process for the cushion filling.
