Sunbrella Color to the Core™ fabrics are made to provide comfort, easy care, and durability; while repelling water and resisting stains, mold, and mildew.

1. Solution-Dyed Fabric

Sunbrella fabrics are manufactured through a unique process where our fibers are saturated with color and UV-stabilized pigments before they’re spun into yarn. This means rich pigment goes all the way through the fibers rather than sitting on the outside of the yarn. This Color to the Core™ technology ensures the color stays true over time, maintaining color and quality through cleaning, wear, or exposure to outdoor elements.

The distinctive Sunbrella manufacturing processes result in fabrics that are mold and mildew resistant, stain and water resistant, pilling and abrasion resistant, and designed to stand all the tests of time. Our fabrics are engineered to continue looking fresh and new for years to come.

3. Easy to Clean 

Sunbrella fabrics are easy to clean while maintaining the strength and integrity of the fabric. When spills, muddy paw prints, and sticky fingers do occur, cleaning is easy with gentle soap and water. For bigger messes, our fabrics are even bleach cleanable.

4. UV Resistant and Fade Resistant

The fibers that make up Sunbrella yarns are saturated with UV-stabilized pigments, ensuring our fabrics won’t fade or become damaged due to sun exposure or normal wear. This factor is key for outdoor and marine fabrics but also important to consider for indoor fabrics that receive direct sunlight through windows.
