Modern Patio Cushion Designs and Fabrics

One place that you might not think of having patio furniture is in a sunroom or enclosed patio space. However, these are just the place that many modern patio designers are placing them in. You can think of these rooms like the modern day atrium. Another popular design idea for a patio space is to create an outdoor room. These outdoor room concepts have really taken off in recent years and they’ve brought manufacturers along with them. The products and materials available now for patios is quite astonishing.

One of the biggest innovations in patio fabrics came when an older company that begin in the nautical industry entered the market. This company is Sunbrella™ and they’ve been around for several decades. You can check them out and see what they are all about. They have basically ‘invented’ newer styles of fabrics that are well suited for the outdoors. One of the biggest innovations that has come of this is the fact that their fabrics are resistant to the effects of fading from the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. Upon further reading, it seems that what they have developed is a method whereby the dying or coloring process of their fabric materials are done during the ‘wet’ stage of production. It is a chemical reaction that takes place, but what is important is that the color is then embedded or locked into the very nature of the fiber itself.

Not only are modern fabrics like this more fade resistant, but they are also able to last longer and resist the damaging effects of moisture. Water used to quickly cause issues with mildew and deterioration of the foam padding inside older styles of patio cushions. Now, like with many wicking and water shedding clothing for sports, fabrics and materials made for outdoor use can quickly dry, eliminating, for the most part, issues with mold and mildew.

No matter if you’re just looking for some cheap chair cushions or have something more elaborate in mind, these fabrics and technologies can save you a lot of money over the long run. Since many patio furniture cushion sets can cost hundreds of dollars each, it is important to shop wisely. Knowing what materials are what can help.
