Are our fabrics waterproof?
Yes – we have cushions in Sunbrella® Rain® fabric
that has an additional barrier finish, which makes
the fabric waterproof and
quick drying. The zips and vents are not
waterproof but are protected from rain by a folded
flap. Cushions should be placed
with the flap down, as illustrated to the right.
Cushion covers are designed to provide maximum
weather protection with comfort and breath-
ability.
Optional waterproofing for your cushions
When ordering cushions, please suffix your fabric
code to the cushion code. If the waterproof option
is required, please add
(V) to the fabric code, e.g. SJA-5404-V Canvas
Natural. There is an additional charge for Rain®
barrier finish fabrics. If you require help
in choosing your cushions then please telephone
or email your enquiry – please see our website for
contact details.
How do I clean cushions?
One of the best ways to keep your cushions
looking good and to minimise the need for deep or
vigorous cleaning is to properly
maintain the fabric. You can do this by brushing
off dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabric
and, wiping or spot cleaning
spills as soon as they occur. A stain repellent may
be applied to the fabric. A comprehensive guide
to cleaning various spills is
available on the Sunbrella® website.
After cleaning cushion and parasol fabric we
recommend the use of ‘Barlow Tyrie Fabric
Weather Guard’ (4FWG). It is easier to leave
the cushion covers on during the cleaning process.
Cushions that are cleaned before storage will be
ready and waiting for the sun
to shine. Please do not store cushions until fully
dry.

Cushion Colours
Our cushions are manufactured using
Sunbrella®, a colourfast fabric that is made
from a durable, all-weather, 100% solutiondyed
Teflon® coated acrylic fibre. This fabric repels
water, but cushions should not be left out in
heavy rain for prolonged periods. If cushions do
become saturated, place them on edge until dry.
Most fabrics are available in Sunbrella® Standard
and Sunbrella® Rain® fabric. Rain® fabric has an
additional barrier that makes the
fabric waterproof and the surface of the cushion
quick drying. Please note that although the fabric
is waterproof, zips and
venting will allow ambient moisture from the
atmosphere to enter the cushion. Please do not
store cushions until dry. There is an additional
charge for cushions in Sunbrella® Rain® fabric.
Ordering cushions
