We do not recommend leaving any furniture outdoors without appropriate covering. We strongly advise covering all outdoor furniture when not in use to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.

Exposure to the elements, such as rain, sun, wind, and dust, can cause premature wear and tear on outdoor furniture and textiles, reducing lifespan.

Exposure to the elements, such as rain, sun, wind, and dust, can cause premature wear and tear on outdoor furniture and textiles, reducing lifespan.

By covering your outdoor furniture when not in use, you can protect it from the elements, preserving its appearance and helping to maintain its structural integrity.

Please note that outdoor furniture covers are not guaranteed against damage, and following proper care and maintenance instructions is essential to keep your outdoor furniture in good condition.

Regular maintenance is necessary to maintain the quality of outdoor furniture. To maintain timber's beautiful natural appearance and character, we suggest regularly coating it with natural beeswax to repel water. 

Additionally, it is essential to periodically inspect your outdoor furniture and covers for signs of wear and tear and to replace covers as needed.

Following these recommendations, you can enjoy your outdoor furniture for years.

We use the premium outdoor fabric Sunproof® Technical Textiles for our outdoor fabric collection.

Sunproof® is a premium outdoor fabric for comfort and long-lasting performance against natural weather. Sunproof® offers colour fastness to light, rubbing, chlorinated pool water, water repellence, soil & stain repellence, antibacterial, anti-mildew and UV resistant.

The fabric is resistant to UV damage and fading. Sunproof® applies excellent ultraviolet-blocking agents, which protect the fabric's polymer backbone from UV radiation. Sunproof® is capable of blocking more than 97% of UV Rays.

Sunproof® fabric is carefully processed and has undergone a special treatment to reduce the fabric absorption of soil and stains. It keeps the material looking clean, fresh and new for longer. Sunproof® fabric is protected by an invisible shield around each fibre to keep the fabric dry and clean.

All Sunproof® fabrics have been stringently tested and passed international standards ASTM G53-96 resulting in a premium fabric with maximum colour fastness to chlorinated pool water, seawater, and rubbing.

Sunproof® fabric is woven from 100% environmentally friendly solution-dyed olefin yarn and is 100% recyclable.

HOW TO CLEAN:

It is recommended to clean your cushion covers using a standard machine wash to 40°, followed by a gentle tumble dry.

The fabric can be ironed at a low setting to remove unwanted creases.

Refrain from drying clean Sunproof® fabric. 

Humidity causes mould to grow. Limited airflow and moisture create a microclimate for mould to develop. In some cases, mould will begin growing on furniture, clothing and other contents within the home.
In instances when this occurs, it is not an inherent fault of the furniture, clothing and other contents; rather, humidity or dampness in the air can supply enough moisture for mould growth on any surface. Mould can occur anywhere, and humid climates provide the optimal conditions for the fungi to grow and thrive on any surface.

Every Uniqwa piece has a story…

Our collections are mostly individually hand-made pieces. As most of our products are made from natural materials, texture, colour, and pattern may vary from piece to piece. Reclaimed timbers, naturally weathered materials and off-cuts otherwise discarded are frequently part of Uniqwa design features.

Natural splitting, cracking, and loss of natural oils may occur and form part of the characteristics and beauty of Uniqwa products. These are not viewed as imperfections or faults but as part of timber's natural life and beauty.

We believe the result of using natural materials and hand-crafted elements is a testament to the unique qualities found in materials originating from nature.

As every monitor displays different colour tones, the colour of pictures on our website and social media cannot be taken as a true colour indication of the actual products. Some product tones may appear to vary from catalogue or website images.
