Choose the Right Outdoor Upholstery Fabric

Protect your fabrics from the elements like rain, wind, and sun
Upholstery isn’t just for your indoor furniture! New and exciting fabrics can add a whole new level of excitement to your outdoor pieces, too. But that doesn’t mean that you can just take your indoor upholstery fabric and use it outside. After all, Mother Nature might have something to say about that. So what do you do when you want to spruce up your outdoor furniture? It’s simple – you choose outdoor upholstery fabric. Here at 1502Fabrics.com, we have a selection of outdoor fabric that is sure to please both your budget and your design aesthetic. Here are a few things to take into consideration.

Fabric Choice: Our outdoor fabrics are largely 100% polyester. This is ideal for outdoor use, because it holds up to the elements better than other types of fabric. A brighter, longer-lasting color that won’t bleach out in the sun is really the ideal.

Breathability: You should consider rain, as well. You want a material that will dry out quickly when it’s wet. The longer water sits on fabric, the quicker mold and mildew can grow.

Water Repellence: On that same note, a good amount of water repellence is key.  Not only will this help you with the rain, it also gives you time to wipe up spills before they have the chance to stain.
