The fade resistance of our urban outdoor furniture cushions is achieved through advanced fabric technology specifically engineered for prolonged sun exposure. We utilize solution-dyed acrylic fabrics and polyester blends with built-in UV inhibitors that provide exceptional protection against color fading. These materials undergo rigorous testing to ensure they maintain their vibrant colors even after extended periods of direct sunlight exposure.
Our premium cushion fabrics feature a minimum UV resistance rating of 500-1000 hours in accelerated weathering tests, equivalent to several seasons of outdoor use. The solution-dyed manufacturing process ensures color pigments penetrate deep into the fiber core rather than merely surface coating, resulting in superior fade resistance. Additionally, we offer fabrics with UV protection factors (UPF) ranging from 50+ to 100+, blocking approximately 98-99% of harmful UV radiation.
For extreme sun exposure environments, we recommend our highest-grade acrylic fabrics which maintain 90% of their original color vibrancy after 2000 hours of accelerated weathering tests. Regular maintenance including occasional cleaning and proper storage during extreme weather conditions can further extend the color life of your cushions.
