Fabric Collections

Details at a Glance

Solution-dyed acrylic and performance outdoor fabrics resist UV fade, moisture, and mildew season after season. These outdoor fabric collections are available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping and free sample swatches.

How Do Solution-Dyed Fabrics Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

Solution-dyed acrylic locks color into the fiber before weaving, so UV rays can't bleach pigment out the way they do with surface-dyed cloth. The tight weave sheds water rather than absorbing it, and the synthetic fiber won't rot or support mildew even in humid climates. You'll see far less fading after a full summer than you would with cotton or undyed polyester, and the fabric dries quickly after a storm.

Do You Need to Bring Cushions Inside Every Night?

You don't have to, but it extends their life. Performance outdoor fabrics resist moisture and UV, but they're not waterproof -- a night of heavy rain will soak through, and leaving cushions out for weeks at a time traps moisture in the fill. Bring them in during long wet spells and store them in a dry shed or garage over winter. A quick wipe-down and air-dry after rain keeps them ready to use.

Where Can You Use These Fabrics?

Any piece in your outdoor seating lineup -- deep-seating sofas, lounge chairs, dining chairs with tie-on cushions, even poolside daybeds. Coastal decks see the most benefit because salt air accelerates fading on standard upholstery, and these fabrics are engineered to take it. Pair them with weather-resistant frames from our outdoor furniture collection for a setup that survives full seasons outside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the color fade after a summer in direct sun?

Solution-dyed acrylic resists UV fade far better than surface-dyed fabric, though no outdoor textile is completely fade-proof over years of exposure.

Can cushions stay outside in winter?

The fabric can handle cold, but trapped moisture in the fill will freeze and degrade the cushion -- store them indoors during the off-season.

Is this fabric mildew-proof?

It resists mildew growth because the synthetic fiber doesn't absorb water, but you still need to let cushions dry fully after rain.

How do I clean outdoor fabric cushions?

Hose off loose dirt, scrub with mild soap and a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry -- no bleach or machine washing.

Are free fabric samples available?

Yes, order swatches at no charge to see color and texture before you choose.

How are samples shipped?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA -- the same policy that applies to all orders.
