At our core, we believe outdoor furniture should be as resilient as it is beautiful. To ensure this, we subject our fabrics to a battery of laboratory tests that simulate years of harsh outdoor conditions. First, we perform accelerated weathering tests, where fabrics are exposed to intense cycles of UV light, extreme temperatures, and moisture in specialized chambers. This predicts colorfastness and material integrity over time. Next, we measure abrasion resistance using standardized methods like the Martindale test, rubbing the fabric thousands of times to simulate long-term use. We also conduct tensile strength tests to ensure the fabric won't tear easily and water resistance tests to confirm quick drying and mildew resistance. Every batch is evaluated for fade resistance against industry color scales. This scientific, multi-faceted approach allows us to provide clear durability ratings and warranties, giving you confidence that your outdoor investment is built to last through seasons of enjoyment.
