UVanta Premium Outdoor Fabrics and Ropes
Welcome to a new era of outdoor living. As we spend more time creating beautiful, functional spaces outside, the demand for materials that can withstand the elements has never been higher. At the heart of this revolution is UVanta, a family of fabrics and ropes designed to bring unparalleled durability and lasting beauty to your outdoor furniture.
What makes UVanta different?
The secret to UVanta's exceptional performance lies in a cutting-edge manufacturing process called solution dyeing. While traditional dyeing involves applying colour to the surface of a finished yarn, solution dyeing integrates the colour pigment directly into the liquid polymer before it's even spun into a fibre. This means the colour is not a coating — it's a permanent part of the fibre's core.
The result is a material with exceptional colourfastness. Our fabrics and ropes resist fading from UV radiation, harsh cleaning agents, and stubborn stains, keeping your furniture looking pristine for years to come.
Solution dyeing doesn't just deliver consistent colour and high-performance results — it also offers significant environmental benefits compared to traditional dyeing methods. With no need for a dye bath, wastewater is eliminated, while chemical use and CO₂ emissions are dramatically reduced.
The UVanta fabric family
Our fabrics are crafted to meet every need, from performance to luxury. Each type is made from solution-dyed fibres, ensuring maximum colour retention.

The ropes that bind strength with style
Outdoor furniture is about more than just cushions. Our UVanta ropes are also solution-dyed, ensuring the same brilliant colourfastness and strength as our fabrics. These ropes are used extensively on handwoven dining and lounge chairs, as well as on specialist outdoor rugs.

Simply keeping your furniture looking better for longer.
Frequently asked questions
What is solution-dyed fabric and why does it matter for outdoor furniture?
Solution dyeing integrates colour pigment directly into the liquid polymer before it's spun into fibre, rather than coating the surface afterwards. This makes the colour a permanent part of the fibre, giving UVanta fabrics and ropes exceptional resistance to fading from UV radiation, harsh cleaning agents and stains.
What's the difference between UVanta's fabric types?
UVanta Solution-Dyed Polyesters and Olefins offer a strong, quick-drying, mildew-resistant everyday option. The Bouclé Edition brings a soft, looped indoor-style texture to outdoor cushions and lounges. UVanta Pro Solution-Dyed Acrylic offers the highest level of softness, breathability and UV resistance for an indoor-feel fabric that performs outdoors.
Are UVanta ropes as durable as UVanta fabric?
Yes. UVanta ropes are made using the same solution-dyeing process as the fabrics, giving them the same colourfastness and strength. They're available in 5mm and 6mm round rope for woven furniture, 10mm round rope for high-traffic circular rugs, and 20mm flat rope for large rectangular rugs.
Is solution dyeing better for the environment than traditional dyeing?
Yes. Because solution dyeing doesn't require a dye bath, it eliminates wastewater and significantly reduces chemical use and CO₂ emissions compared to traditional surface dyeing methods.
