In New Zealand’s high UV zones, the sun can be tough on outdoor furnishings – quickly fading colours and breaking down fabric fibres.
To keep your outdoor seating, squabs, and cushions looking their best, it’s essential to choose materials engineered to withstand these conditions.
UV Pro outdoor fabrics are a premium solution – specifically designed for exceptional durability, colour retention, and long-term performance. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty against fading, UV Pro combines advanced fabric technology with timeless style to deliver upholstery that lasts season after season.
Each UV Pro fabric is made from solution-dyed acrylic, meaning the colour is infused into the yarn before it’s woven. This process ensures the pigment itself resists UV damage, helping your outdoor cushions and upholstery stay vibrant and beautiful for years to come. Regular testing through Labotex, UV Pro’s in-house laboratory, ensures every fabric meets rigorous standards of strength, softness, and fade resistance.
Beyond UV protection, UV Pro fabrics are also stain and water repellent, mildew resistant, and easy to maintain – making them ideal for outdoor living areas, patio furniture, and marine environments. They’re soft to the touch, comfortable to sit on, and available in a wide range of stylish, versatile colours to suit any setting.
When choosing fabrics for your outdoor upholstery, always look for materials rated 7 or 8 on the Blue Scale – the industry benchmark for outstanding UV resistance. This ensures your outdoor spaces remain fresh, vibrant, and protected, even through New Zealand’s most intense summers.
