RECYCLED CONTENT FABRICS
The Grade B fabrics, Cameron Granite & Cameron Anthracite, both contain Sunbrella Renaissance yarns, which are recycled yarns that emulate a homespun
look with a natural diversity of colour within the yarn. Due to the nature of the recycled content, these fabrics may exhibit random colour specks and shade
variations. These slubs can sometimes be a contrasting colour. The recycled content used is collected from the Sunbrella manufacturing facility, where the
waste is segmented into colour groups, reduced back to its fibre state and finally mixed with virgin fibre before making its way through the manufacturing
process. Due to the recycled nature of this fabric, the colour may vary between production batches and large sections of recycled yarns may run sporadically
throughout the fabric. The presence of these recycled yarns should not be interpreted as imperfection, but as part of the character of the recycled fabric.

RAIN FABRICS
Sunbrella Rain is a water resistant version of the standard Sunbrella upholstery fabrics. Rain fabrics are treated with a weatherproof coating that minimises
water absorption and enables the cushion to dry out much faster than standard fabrics. Rain fabrics can be completely moisture-free within minutes after
a simple wipe-down. When wet, the fabric threads expand slightly, meaning any water simply beads up on the fabric surface, rather than seeping into the
cushion filling and leaving behind residual moisture. Rain fabrics are a little stiffer than the traditional Sunbrella fabrics, but they share the same market-
leading performance in terms of durability, fade resistance, and ease of cleaning - making them the ideal choice for all outdoor living and dining spaces.
UKFR (FIRE RESISTANT) FABRICS
In addition to our standard grades of fabrics, we also offer five specific fabrics in fire resistant versions. The fire resistant versions of Sailing Seagull,
Cameron Granite, Fife Rainy Grey, Blend Linen and Blend Coal have an additional back coating applied to ensure they meet the stringent UKFR (Fire
Resistant) standard. These fabrics are not water resistant, so we recommend that furniture covers are always purchased when specifying these cushions.

No matter which type of fabric you choose for your
cushions, Gloster only use the best outdoor fabrics that
are manufactured using 100% solution dyed acrylic yarns
for maximum resistance to the fading and degrading effects
of sunlight. All fabrics are finished with a water-repellent
coating on the surface to reduce water absorbency. If the
fabric does become wet from prolonged exposure, they
will come to no harm, and the fabrics will dry out naturally.
Gloster cushions are offered with fabrics that fall into
three distinct groups:
For maximum water resistance, a selection of Sunbrella®
Rain cover fabrics features a water-resistant coating
that is applied to the back face, helping prevent water
travelling beyond the surface of the fabric. Although not
offering quite the same soft hand as our other fabrics,
these water-resistant fabrics are very practical and quick
drying. The fillings inside the cushion are engineered using
open cell materials to allow for maximum air circulation,
helping to speed up the drying process even further.
Combining with all the benefits present in Outdoor
Performance cushions, Gloster offers this range of
exclusive knitted performance fabrics that are the first
to be used outdoors. These knitted fabrics offer the
ultimate in terms of softness, giving a sumptuous cosy
feel, while the inherent stretch allows for the perfect fit to
even the most demanding of cushion shapes. The Wave
fabrics feature a unique, 3D knitted structure giving levels
of texture and softness unparalleled in outdoor fabrics.
MAXIMUM WATER RESISTANCE
MAXIMUM SOFT TOUCH
Offered in a wide selection of stylish and sophisticated
fabrics with a soft hand, our Outdoor Performance
cushions use the softest, most luxurious fillings that give
the feel of the most comfortable indoor furniture. A highly
water-resistant barrier beneath the outer fabric cover
protects the fillings, keeping drying times to a minimum.
