What Materials Are Commonly Used for Waterproof Outdoor Furniture?

Our wide range of outdoor furniture at Factory Buys is crafted from various materials that each resist the elements in their own unique ways. Some of these include:

All-Weather Wicker

Our all-weather wicker furniture is engineered to withstand diverse weather conditions, making it perfect for the Australian outdoors. 

Timber

Adding warmth to any outdoor space, our timber furniture is known for its natural elegance. Teak pieces especially stand out for their impressive weather resistance and lifespan.

Aluminium

If you're seeking a balance between lightness and strength, look no further than our aluminium furniture. Not only is it easy to move and arrange, but it's also highly resistant to rust and corrosion.

Can Waterproof Outdoor Furniture Be Left Outside in All Weather Conditions?

While waterproof outdoor furniture is designed to withstand various weather conditions, remember that "waterproof" doesn't necessarily mean "indestructible." These pieces can indeed be left outside in many situations as they’re made to handle rain, sun, and more. However, extreme weather such as heavy rain, snow, hail, or very high temperatures could potentially damage your furniture over time.

So, taking some precautions during extreme weather conditions is always a good idea. Using furniture covers, or bringing smaller, more mobile pieces indoors can help extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your all-weather outdoor furniture.

What is the Level of Water Resistance Provided By the Furniture?

The level of water resistance for outdoor furniture varies depending on the specific material used. While some materials, like aluminium, are highly resistant to water and can handle rainy weather very well, others, such as certain types of wood, maybe slightly less resistant.

Each product from Factory Buys will have specific product specifications listed that offer more insight into the level of water resistance. We always encourage our customers to check these specifications and care instructions to ensure they choose the best furniture for their needs.

How Do I Clean and Maintain Waterproof Outdoor Furniture?

The specific maintenance methods best for your waterproof furniture can vary depending on the material it's made of. However, here are some general steps to follow:

Regular Cleaning

Dust off your furniture regularly and wash with mild, non-abrasive soap and warm water as needed. For stubborn stains, a soft bristle brush can be helpful. Then, rinse completely and dry with a towel (this will help prevent water spots).

Fabric Care

Cushions or other fabric components should be cleaned according to the specific product instructions.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Steer clear of using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your furniture, as they could damage the finish or material.

Cover or Store

Although your furniture is waterproof, consider using covers or storing your furniture in a shed or garage during harsh weather or the off-season to extend its lifespan.

Check for Damage

Regularly check your furniture for any signs of damage or wear and tear to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.

Will Waterproof Furniture Fade?

The same rules go for outdoor furniture fading – this largely depends on the specific material the piece or set is made of and how well it’s maintained. Here are some guidelines for each material type:

Aluminium and Metal

These materials are usually very resistant to fading, especially when they are powder-coated or painted with UV-resistant finishes.

Wicker & Plastic 

These materials are (most often) infused with colour pigments and UV inhibitors during the manufacturing process to reduce fading. 

Timber

Wood can change colour over time due to UV exposure. Some people appreciate this natural aging process, while others prefer to maintain the original colour using special wood oils or sealants.

Fabrics

Outdoor fabrics (typically crafted as cushion pieces) vary in their fade resistance. They are typically dyed in a solution of colour and UV inhibitors before being woven, providing excellent fade resistance.

Does The Furniture Require Any Special Treatments or Coatings?

While weather-resistant outdoor furniture is designed to handle various weather conditions, and no fancy treatments or coatings are required, regular maintenance can make a huge difference in keeping your pieces looking their best.
