When decorating the terrace, garden or swimming pool, it is necessary to choose the right fabric for the outdoor furniture, as well as the cushions, mats and upholstery used to give a personal style to the environment. Keep in mind that outdoor furniture will ‘suffer’ from inclement weather – extreme heat, cold and even rain if a storm catches it out in the open. For this reason, outdoor fabrics must be resistant to the sun and humidity so that they do not lose their color with high temperatures, nor their texture and characteristics if they get wet, in case they are used for the decoration of a swimming pool or a chill out terrace or lounge on the beach.
Given that outdoors the exposure to stains is greater -especially if it is a local or hotel where many people pass daily- it must be, in turn, easy to clean fabrics that, at the same time, are resistant to the continuous rubbing with the floor without suffering wear and tear or lose quality.
To avoid mistakes, we will recommend some of the special fabrics and upholstery for exteriors that we work with in Fiaka Ambient.
- Nylon: It is very resistant, has a texture similar to canvas and can be easily cleaned.
- Nautical Upholstery: it maintains the visual characteristics of leatherette, but with two great advantages: it is a fireproof fabric, as well as antibacterial and antifungal. This upholstery, washable and easy to clean, is perfect for mass installations, sanitary facilities and different types of equipment. It is also ideal for nautical equipment, such as boats.
- Silvertex: We have recently introduced this new fabric in our catalog, which is guaranteed by PermaBlock and Silverguard, quality seals that ensure its resistance and durability. Thanks to silver ions, this fabric creates a natural, environmentally friendly barrier that inhibits odor and stains caused by bacterial action.
