FibreGuard Outdoor: Innovative Outdoor Furnishings

An innovative fabric technology developed for both indoor and outdoor use, FibreGuard Outdoor is a high-performance, fade-resistant fabric featuring unique properties which ensure dirt and stains are removable. The anti-microbial and anti-bacterial attributes inherent in the yarn combat the growth of mould and mildew, resisting bad odours in humid environments and maintaining a fresh look.

A particularly smart choice for areas exposed to the elements, these soft touch fabrics are ideal for transitional living spaces.

FibreGuard Outdoor fabrics are constructed from solution dyed yarns, renowned for their UV and weather resistant properties. This method refers to the source material (fibres) being dyed in a solution to absorb the colour in its entirety, prior to being extruded and manufactured into yarn.

Solution dyed nylon is typically produced from polypropylene/olefin/polyolefin. Synthetic materials with shared performance characteristics, these compositions are highly durable in outdoor applications.

Solution dyed fabrics provide the best possible resistance to colour fading from UV exposure and are inherently stain resistant due to the manufacturing process. The production of these yarns is generally more environmentally friendly, using minimal water during manufacturing as well as being recyclable and resulting in minimal waste at the end of life.

The benefits of polypropylene/olefin/polyolefin:

• Excellent colourfastness and fade resistance
• Fast drying
• Highly stain and soil resistant
• A strong fibre with excellent abrasion resistance
• Resistant to mildew and chemicals, making it easy to clean

In addition, all FibreGuard fabrics undergo rigorous laboratory testing to ensure they achieve robust lightfastness results and are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. This certification ensures that our FibreGuard fabrics are free from harmful chemicals, so they are safe for us, our pets, and our living environments.

Manufactured to stringent standards, FibreGuard’s easy clean properties are embedded in the production process, not an after treatment. Guaranteeing our fabrics are easy to clean wash after wash, stain after stain.
