Outdoor Fabric Properties
Outdoor fabrics are designed to withstand the elements, including sun, rain, wind, and dirt. They are typically made from synthetic fibres, such as acrylic, olefin, or polyester, which are more durable than natural fibres like cotton or linen. Inherently water repellent, these materials can also provide resistance to UV / fading, mildew and stains, all desirable and important factors when choosing an outdoor fabric. Acrylic is relatively inexpensive, therefore making it a popular choice for outdoor furniture, olefin is very lightweight and quick-drying perfect for awnings and umbrellas, whilst polyester works well for outdoor cushions and pillows.
Most of our outdoor collections are also designed for indoor use, providing multiple benefits. Particularly popular in high traffic indoor areas and homes with pets and children, the fabric coating can help protect against likely dirt and spillages. Furthermore, as they are tested for UV resistance, outdoor fabrics can also be a great consideration for conservatories, garden rooms and other areas with lots of glazing to prevent fading in the sun.

Make a statement with the gorgeous Alfresco Indoor Outdoor collection by Clarke & Clarke. Featuring an array of striking botanical prints, bold florals, signature deckchair stripes and mesmerising chevron designs, the collection brings an air of exoticism to outdoor spaces enriched with pattern and interest. Choose from warm sunset tones and botanical greens to refreshing coastal palettes, synonymous with the exterior theme. Brought together with a complementary versatile plain, the fabrics are perfect for creating a cosy, comfortable and tranquil escape.
Each fabric provides antimicrobial, sun, water and stain resistant properties, offering all round protection for that extra piece of mind.

Made from Global Recycled Standard certified recycled olefin, all 3 designs offer a sustainable option that is kind to the planet.
