Westminster are suppliers of the unique Sunbrella® “In & Out” range of all-weather fabrics. Sunbrella® is a fabric made of acrylic fibres with pigmentation added prior to extrusion, offering a rich look and feel of cotton, but doesn’t fade or degrade.

The furniture can be left outside all year round and can be simply cleaned with plain water. To remove more stubborn stains, apply a mild solution of soapy water or a water and bleach solution, or carefully clean with a pressure washer on a low setting. When new the cushions can be firm due to the fire retardant but after a few uses and water permutation the cushions do soften.

All outdoor cushions and fabric lounge furniture are required by UK law to conform to UK Domestic Fire Regulations BS5852 Part 1 & Part 2. A specialised fire-retardant treatment is applied to both the quick dry foam filling and the Sunbrella® fabric during manufacture. This combined with the use of heavy-duty high quality “memory foam” increases the weight up to 3 times heavier than other non-treated products. This keeps the furniture and cushions stable in windy conditions and additionally ensures the fabric is tauter, which reduces wrinkles in the fabric.

Mould & Mildew Stains

Our fabrics do not promote mildew or mould growth; however, it may grow on dirt and other foreign substances if not removed from the fabric. Sunbrella® fabric is an incredibly durable and weather resistant fabric. Please ensure that cushions/furniture are fully dry before covering to avoid excess mould and mildew/algae which could permanently stain the fabric.

UV & Fading

Traditional dyeing processes only leave colours on the surface of fibre, so they easily fade. Sunbrella® upholstery fabric is a densely woven outdoor fabric, full of rich colour. Made from 100% solution dyed acrylic fibres which are saturated to the core with highly UV-stable pigments. This makes the fabric resistant to fading and degrading effects of sunlight. The Sunbrella® collection is also treated with CleanGuard, making it resistant to stains, salt water & chlorine.

Quick Dry Foam

Westminster uses an advanced, high-performance foam designed specifically for outdoor cushions & furniture. The porous open-cell structure allows water to drain very rapidly and fresh air to circulate freely. After a heavy downpour and in good weather conditions the furniture can be ready to use within an hour.
