Water-resistant outdoor fabric helps cushions used on garden, balcony, and terrace furniture withstand outdoor conditions more effectively. For furniture exposed to sunlight throughout the day and occasionally to moisture or light rain, it is important that the fabric does not absorb liquids quickly, is easy to clean, and helps maintain its color. The outdoor fabrics used by Terazzi are selected according to the furniture design, cushion structure, and intended area of use.
Key Advantages of Water-Resistant Outdoor Fabric
For a cushion to be used comfortably outdoors, its fabric needs to withstand everyday exposure and contact. The water-repellent surface of the outdoor fabrics used in Terazzi products helps prevent spilled liquids from being absorbed immediately. This allows small spills around dining areas, balconies, or poolside spaces to be cleaned up more quickly.
A stain-resistant surface makes cleaning easier, particularly in seating areas where food and drinks are frequently consumed. UV resistance also helps slow down color changes in fabrics exposed to sunlight throughout the day.

The comfort of a cushion is not determined by the fabric alone. Foam density, cushion thickness, stitching, and cover construction also affect the seating experience. Since these details vary by model, it is best to check the relevant product page for specific cushion features.
How to Care for Outdoor Fabric
When liquids are spilled or stains occur, they should be cleaned as soon as possible. Everyday dust can be removed with a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush.
When more thorough cleaning is required, mild cleaning products suitable for the fabric can be used. Bleach, hard brushes, and abrasive cleaning products may damage the fabric surface over time.
After rainfall, cushions should be allowed to dry completely. Cushions that will not be used for extended periods should preferably be stored in a dry, covered area to help protect both the fabric and the inner filling.

Wet cushions should be allowed to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. When they will not be used for extended periods, storing them in a dry and covered area is recommended.
