As you know, outdoor can be furnished with the same style as the indoor, matching the owner’s lifestyle. A wide range of tables, chairs and home accessories is available in order to give you comfort, combining beauty and functionality. But which is the role of furniture fabrics for outdoor? Whether they are upholstery, tablecloths or screens, they add a touch of colour and help to create a unique environment. Choosing new fabrics for cushions, for example, is a simple and fun way to renew your furniture without resorting to drastic changes.

The Bontempi Casa catalogue includes several furnishing fabrics for outdoor seating, they are all waterproof and designed to last as long as possible. Now, which are the ideal fabrics for decorating outdoor? These ones.

Outdoor Fabrics

Bontempi Casa outdoor fabric is made of acrylic fibre, one of the most popular and appreciated materials for outdoor furniture. Among its features there is excellent resistance to the weather, chlorinated and sea water: this makes it suitable to be used by the pool or to furnish the house by the sea, but also for naval use. Furthermore, the Teflon treatment makes it anti-stain and anti-mould.

Texplast and Soft Texplast

For outdoor seats, Bontempi Casa catalogue also proposes Texplast, a fiber made of PVC and polyester, and Soft Texplast, made of polyvinyl and polyester. The first is incredibly stress-resistant and it comes in a classic palette that includes refined shades of white, sand, grey and black; the Soft Texplast, on the other hand, is available in the cerulean variant. For both, the cleaning method is very simple and requires only a damp cotton cloth.

Polyurethane

There are not only fabrics for outdoor, but also materials designed to make outdoor seating more comfortable through cushions and padding. Hidra chair, for example, is enriched with a polyurethane cushion, a material that combines softness and resistance to sun and rain. Available in sand, light grey and anthracite shades, it brings a touch of refinement by the pool, in the garden or wherever you wish to use it.
