With our Minimo, Milano and Moderno ranges, we use Sunbrella fabric. Sunbrella outdoor fabrics is easy to clean and provide UV protection, along with resistance to fading, stains, mould, and mildew, over the winter.
At Alexander Francis, every garden furniture set includes a tailored cover made from three layers of waterproof, UV-resistant, tear-resistant, and breathable fabric. This design effectively blocks out rain and frost while allowing trapped moisture to escape, helping to prevent mould growth.
With our PE rattan furniture rages which are our Verona and Tosca collections, although our rattan is designed to withstand the British weather, It is still beneficial to provide extra protection for your garden furniture from harsh weather as it can significantly extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance. Additionally, winter covers simplify maintenance by decreasing the frequency of cleaning needed.
