For maximum water resistance, a selection of Sunbrella® Rain cover fabrics features a water-resistant coating that is applied to the back face, helping prevent water travelling beyond the surface of the fabric. Although not offering quite the same soft hand as our other fabrics, these water-resistant fabrics are very practical and quick drying. The fillings inside the cushion are engineered using open cell materials to allow for maximum air circulation, helping to speed up the drying process even further.
Sunbrella® Renaissance fabrics combine up to 50% post-industrial recycled Sunbrella® fibre with virgin Sunbrella® fibre to achieve vintage charm, rich colouration, soft feel and excellent performance. Due to the nature of the recycled content, Sunbrella® Renaissance yarns may exhibit random colour specks and shade variation. These slubs can sometimes be a contrasting colour.
The recycled and virgin fibres are blended to help ensure that the product meets stringent Sunbrella® performance standards. The recycled content is collected from the Sunbrella® manufacturing facility, where the waste is segmented into colour groups, reduced back to its fibre state and finally mixed with Sunbrella® virgin fibre before making its way through the manufacturing process. Due to the recycled nature of this fabric, the colour may vary between production batches and large sections of recycled yarns may run sporadically throughout the fabric. The presence of these recycled yarns should not be interpreted as imperfection, but as part of the character of the recycled fabric.
