What is Olefin?

When choosing textiles for your outdoor furniture, the quality and durability of the material is crucial. Olefin is a synthetic fiber known for its excellent properties for both indoor and outdoor furniture. It is lightweight, durable and resistant to moisture, sunlight and stains, making it a great choice for those who want furniture that will last for many years.

Benefits of Olefin in furniture fabrics

Olefin has many benefits that make it popular for garden furniture in particular:

Water-repellent properties - Olefin does not absorb water, making it weather resistant to rain and moisture. This significantly reduces the risk of mold and mildew.
UV resistance and color fastness - The material is UV resistant, which means it won't fade or degrade quickly even after prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Durability and abrasion resistance - Olefin is extremely durable and can withstand daily use, even in challenging environments.
Easy maintenance - Stains and dirt can be easily removed with a damp cloth.

SACKit furniture with Olefin fabric

At SACKit, we use Olefin in our Cobana and Kirra fabrics, both created to withstand the elements of nature without compromising on style or comfort.

Cobana

Cobana is our classic outdoor fabric, designed to withstand all weather conditions. It's both water-repellent and UV-resistant, meaning your furniture will retain its look year after year, whether it's in the garden, on the terrace or by the pool.

Kirra

Kirra is our latest addition, containing 20% recycled Olefin. This fabric is not only strong and weather resistant, but also a more environmentally friendly choice for those looking for sustainable solutions. Kirra retains the same durable properties as Cobana, but with a greener footprint.

Many of our outdoor furniture is available in both Cobana and Kirra fabrics, so you can choose the material that best matches your needs:
