How to Determine Which
Features Are Important to You
To get you started, let’s explore the features of Eco Hygenix outdoor fabrics and the types of situations where they can truly make a difference.
Durability
When choosing Eco Hygenix outdoor fabrics, it’s important to consider how they will be used. For example, will the fabric need to support body weight without stretching, sagging, or tearing? This is especially important for sling furniture, which requires strong and durable materials designed to maintain their shape and stability under tension.
You should also think about your lifestyle. If you have kids or pets, your outdoor furniture may experience more wear and tear. In such cases, Eco Hygenix offers sturdy fabrics that can handle daily use while maintaining long-lasting performance.
UV/Fade Resistance
Sun exposure is an important factor to consider when selecting Eco Hygenix outdoor fabrics. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can damage materials over time. Continuous exposure to sunlight can cause fabrics to fade and gradually weaken, making them more prone to tearing and wear.
Choosing Eco Hygenix fabrics with built-in UV protection helps maintain their strength, color, and overall appearance for a longer period.
Water Resistance
Eco Hygenix outdoor fabrics are designed to handle exposure to rain, sprinklers, and pool splashes without developing mold, mildew, or unpleasant odors. Since they are constantly exposed to moisture, choosing the right fabric is essential for maintaining cleanliness and durability.
In humid or damp climates, water resistance becomes even more important. Eco Hygenix fabrics are engineered to repel water rather than absorb it, allowing them to dry quickly after rain or cleaning. These quick-drying, water-resistant materials help keep outdoor furniture fresh, comfortable, and ready to use in any weather condition.
Mold and Mildew Resistance
Eco Hygenix outdoor fabrics are designed to address common issues like mold and mildew, especially in areas with frequent rain or high humidity. If not properly managed, mold and mildew can damage furniture, leading to stains, unpleasant odors, and discoloration that are difficult to remove.
Choosing fast-drying Eco Hygenix fabrics is an important step in preventing these problems. For added protection, many fabrics are enhanced with antimicrobial properties that help resist the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria—keeping outdoor furniture cleaner, fresher, and more durable for long-term use.
Eco-Friendliness
Choosing Eco Hygenix outdoor fabrics is a great way to reduce the environmental impact of your furniture and décor. Factors such as fiber type, manufacturing processes, and recyclability play an important role in determining how sustainable a fabric is.
Eco Hygenix fabrics made with recyclable materials offer a greener solution for outdoor applications while maintaining durability and performance. These eco-conscious fabrics are ideal for outdoor curtains, cushions, and pillows, helping you create stylish spaces while being mindful of the environment.
Made in the USA
If you prefer to support locally made products, Eco Hygenix offers fabrics manufactured in the USA, making them a reliable choice. Locally produced materials help support the economy, reduce transportation-related carbon emissions, and ensure high-quality manufacturing standards.
Eco Hygenix fabrics made in the USA are crafted for durability, performance, and long-lasting use. Choosing these fabrics allows you to invest in premium quality materials while supporting responsible and local production.
Low Chemical Emissions
Eco Hygenix fabrics are designed with a focus on safety and indoor air quality. Textiles and furnishings can sometimes release harmful chemical compounds known as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) through a process called off-gassing, which can impact air quality—especially when fabrics are used in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
To minimize exposure to VOCs, Eco Hygenix offers fabrics that meet strict quality standards and may include trusted certifications such as GREENGUARD®. These certifications ensure the materials are tested for low chemical emissions, making them a safer and healthier choice for your home and family.
