How Do Solution-Dyed Fabrics Hold Up in Sun and Rain?
Color is locked into the fiber before the yarn is spun, so UV rays cannot strip pigment the way they fade printed fabrics. Solution-dyed acrylic resists water, mildew, and chlorine -- the fabric dries quickly and will not rot when wet. Performance polyester blends add stretch and recovery for cushions that hold their shape season after season. These are not decorator cottons; they are engineered for full-weather exposure.Do You Have to Bring Cushions Inside Every Night?
No. Solution-dyed fabrics are built to stay outside through rain and overnight dew. For best longevity, stand cushions on edge after a storm so water drains and air circulates. Brush off leaves and pollen regularly. If you live where winters drop below freezing for weeks, store cushions in a shed or garage -- fabric will not mildew in cold storage, and keeping them dry prevents the zipper and fill from wearing.What Patterns and Textures Are Available?
Collections span solids, stripes, geometric prints, and textured weaves. Pair a neutral solid with accent pillows in a bold stripe, or specify a single pattern across [lounge seating](/collections/outdoor-lounge-furniture) and [dining chairs](/collections/outdoor-dining-chairs). All fabrics coordinate within each collection, so mixing colors is straightforward. Custom cushion orders ship upholstered to your specification; lead times vary by season.Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these fabrics fade in direct sun?
- Solution-dyed acrylics resist UV fade far longer than printed fabrics, though all color will soften gradually over years of intense sun exposure.
- Can the fabric handle salt air near the coast?
- Yes -- solution-dyed acrylic resists salt, chlorine, and mildew, making it appropriate for oceanfront and poolside installations.
- How do I clean these fabrics?
- Brush off loose dirt, then wash with mild soap and water. Most stains lift with a soft brush; bleach-cleanable fabrics tolerate a diluted bleach solution for mildew.
- Are the cushions sold separately or with furniture?
- Cushions are available as a custom order through LOOMLAN Outdoor. Lead time and pricing depend on fabric selection and cushion dimensions.
- Do fabrics come pretreated with a water repellent?
- Most are woven to shed water naturally. Some collections carry an additional finish; consult the fabric swatch for treatment details.
- How are fabric orders shipped?
- Standard curbside delivery is free to the continental USA. White-glove placement and setup are available for an additional fee upon request.
