Sunbrella® materials, specially developed for outdoor use, are characterized by their exceptional resistance to UV radiation and their high-quality texture, which gives a pleasant feeling to the touch. These fabrics are made from polyacrylic fibers that are dyed directly in the mass using an innovative process instead of dyeing the yarn afterwards. This process ensures that the colors penetrate deep into the material, resulting in exceptional color fastness and durability. Sunbrella® fabrics therefore not only offer a visual enhancement for garden furniture and other outdoor elements, but also represent a durable and easy-care solution that meets the requirements of outdoor areas. Their texture, which is both robust and inviting, makes them the ideal choice for high-quality garden furniture that needs to offer both comfort and resistance to the elements.
Originally developed in the marine sector to furnish exclusive yachts, Sunbrella® has also established itself in other high-end applications thanks to its superior properties.
