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:
GLOSTER FABRICS
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 offer this range of exclusive,
knitted outdoor fabrics, the first to be produced using
100% solution dyed acrylic yarns. 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.
