Outdoor cushion

We are a French company based in Sarzeau, south of Vannes in Brittany (France). The product you buy is unique. We manufacture it to measure according to your choice of configuration. The materials used as well as our know-how guarantee you a product of very high quality. We mainly use fabrics from the Glenn Raven Group, woven in France and the USA. Their best-known brands are Dickson for blinds and protective fabrics and Sunbrella, which is the acclaimed decor fabric for its unmatched design, quality and strength.

Extremely durable fabrics

Sunbrella® fabric is renowned for retaining its colors for a very long time. Because the pigments are blended into the fibers during the manufacturing process, the color is deeply embedded in the fabric. As a result, Sunbrella® fabric is much more resistant to fading or discoloration caused, in particular, by sunlight and moonlight.

In ordinary fabrics, dyes are applied to the surface of the fibers or fabric. As a result, the color does not penetrate deeper than the outer layer and disappears in the wash or fades over time.

Sunbrella® also offers excellent protection against water and stains. Thanks to a special treatment based on fluorine nanomolecules, the fabric is highly resistant to dirt and the elements. Water is repelled by the fabric and runs off the furniture onto the ground. In addition, Sunbrella® fabric dries up to three times faster. Dirt has no chance of adhering to the textile and therefore does not cause stains, making it easier to remove. For those who wish, the cover can be machine-washed at 40°C and, in the event of a stubborn stain, a bleach solution diluted in water at a ratio of 1 to 10 can even be added to the wash water. This will have no effect on the color, which will remain intact.

Sunbrella® fabric is breathable. Water evaporates through the fabric, preventing mold from forming. To allow for ventilation, it is important not to store the cushions stacked on top of one another; otherwise, mold may appear.

All these qualities promise wonderful moments spent outdoors. During this pandemic period, our terraces are in high demand—yet another reason to make them even more welcoming, summer and winter alike.

Easy-to-clean fabrics. Sunbrella fabrics are extremely easy to maintain and most soils can be washed off with water and mild soap. One of the best ways to keep a Sunbrella fabric in top condition and to delay deep cleaning as much as possible is to maintain it regularly. This maintenance consists of simply brushing off dust with a brush before it becomes encrusted, wiping up spills as soon as they occur and cleaning up stains as soon as they appear.
Routine or light cleaning

• Remove any loose dirt from the fabric with a brush.
• Wash the fabric at 40 ° C or by hand, as follows:
• Prepare a cleaning solution composed of 60 ml of mild soap diluted in 4 l of lukewarm water (at less than 40 ° C).
• Clean with a soft brush and allow the fabric to soak up the solution.
• Rinse thoroughly and allow the fabric to air dry.
• If necessary, iron the fabric by setting the iron to "Synthetic". NEVER use a steam generator or steam iron.

Cleaning tough stains and mold While Sunbrella fabric does not promote the growth of mold, it can grow from dirt or other substances that settle on the fabric and are not removed. To clean mold or other tough stains:

• Prepare a solution composed of 240 ml of bleach and 60 ml of mild soap diluted in 4 l of clean water. Spray on the area to be cleaned and allow the fabric to soak up the solution
• Scrub vigorously with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly and air dry the fabric

For Sunbrella fabrics of removable or removable products (parasols, cushions): remove the fabric and machine wash it at less than 40 ° C. Use a mild detergent, dose it according to the load of the machine and if necessary, add 240 ml of bleach. Allow the fabric to air dry. If mold and / or stains are severe, increase the amount of bleach. Re-waterproofing of a fabric to facilitate its maintenance.
Sunbrella fabrics receive a special finishing treatment that improves water repellency. This treatment is designed to remain effective for several years of normal use. However, it is still possible to revive this protection with a product recommended by Sunbrella: the 303 High Tech Fabric Guard ™. In addition, the finishing treatment applied to all Sunbrella fabrics helps them repel liquids and makes them even easier to maintain.

Fabrics that respect nature and are healthy for humans. Sunbrella fabrics do not deteriorate over time, they are insensitive to light and retain their color over time. Sunbrella fabrics are designed to last two to ten times longer than traditional fabrics. Thanks to their extended life cycle, our fully digital manufacturing process that limits scrap, the environmental footprint of products made with Sunbrella fabrics is considerably lower than that of cotton fabrics, for example. Sunbrella fabrics have been tested according to the Oeko-Tex 100 standard: this label certifies that they contain no toxic substances and do not represent any risk to health, skin or the environment.

Greenguard approval certifies that Sunbrella fabrics are low emissivity and can be used indoors or for any application where air quality is required, with the guarantee that they will help maintain healthy indoor air.
