Fabric Types For Custom Outdoor Cushions
The most common fabric used in outdoor cushions is acrylic fabrics. This kind of fabric is water proof and has the tendency to withstand extreme heat and sunlight. Polyester is commonly used for filling to make the chairs more comfortable to sit. Polyester is most of the times preferred over foam because of its high resistance to blemish. Sunbrella and Outdura are considered to be the most famous brands for outdoor cushion covers. The use of acrylic fabrics and ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers make the fabric invulnerable to tarnish caused by direct sunlight and water exposure. Resin wicker is also a new trend and is used for light weight outdoor chairs (mostly used in outdoor dining and parties). As resin wicker furniture mostly comes in dark colors, there is plenty of room to have custom designs and varying colors for making the outdoor cushions. Custom design cushions, if well maintained, can be usable for at least five years. Therefore, it is necessary to make right choice of colors and material at the very first place.
