We get asked all the time if ‘garden furniture can really be left out all year round’, and of course as a nationwide supplier and installer of premium aluminium pergolas our answer would be ‘only if you have a pergola with a roof to protect it from the elements’. Now, if that has made you think ‘I have great furniture and actually a pergola would be a great idea’ then don’t read on, instead head to our ‘pergola home‘ page.
However if you are not in the market for a pergola and instead want to find the elusive FULLY WATERPROOF’ garden furniture then look no further.
We have partnered with Blinde Design who create the most gorgeous outdoor furniture (even if they do photograph it always indoors) that is not only beautiful to look at, it is also 100% designed for the British outdoors.
Using Sunbrella fabric they have created a range of outdoor modular sofas, chairs, bar stools and love seats to create the perfect outdoor entertaining space. So how do they do it?
Since the 1960s, Glen Raven’s Sunbrella fabric has become synonymous with outdoor performance and durability.
To learn more about Sunbrella and why we choose to use it exclusively across our entire outdoor seating collection, read on…
- IT IS FULLY WATERPROOF – Sunbrella fabric is waterproof, mould and mildew-resistant. Instead of soaking in, the liquid will bead and roll off the fabric. It can be left outside for long periods of time without any worries of damage from either inclement weather or family accidents
- IT’S A BREEZE TO CLEAN – Spills and accidents happen—especially when you have kids, pets and clumsy adults. Many performance fabrics simply have a protective surface finish that can wear off. Sunbrella has engineered performance into the core of each fibre for true stain resistance and an easy clean. Most spills will only require mild soap and water but for the toughest stains, it’s even bleach-friendly.
- THE (OFTEN ELUSIVE) BRITISH SUN WON’T FADE IT – Sunbrella fabrics are made of 100% solution-dyed acrylic. Each fibre is saturated with colour and UV-stabilised pigments before they’re spun into yarn – meaning the pigment goes all the way through the fibres (not just on top) and the colour stays true over time even in high temperature, UV ray exposure, or harsh rain.
- FULLY CERTIFIED FOR PEACE OF MIND – When you bring Sunbrella fabrics into your garden or pergola (or even your home), you can trust that they are not made with harmful substances. These fabrics have earned GREENGUARD Gold Certification, the OEKO-TEX Made in Green certification, the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Approval, and are FACTS certified.
- INVEST FOR A DECADE OR MORE – Patio sets made with Sunbrella fabrics are a smart long-term investment. Sunbrella fabrics are highly durable and can withstand 10+ years of heavy outdoor use.
- IT’S BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT – Sunbrella is committed to sustainability by creating its own solar power and reducing water waste, recycling fabric waste, and sending zero waste to landfills.
So why would we have partnered with Blinde when we are trying to sell Pergolas? We want to offer you everything you need to enjoy your indoor living in the outdoors. We believe that quality is worth paying for and you want to know that any products from our carefully curated collections are suitable outdoors and can be used whatever the British climate has to throw at you.
