Materials
At PC Outdoor, we take pride in crafting premium outdoor furniture using materials designed for durability, style, and functionality. Each piece is thoughtfully created to withstand the elements while offering timeless beauty and comfort. Below are the materials that make up our collections:
Sunbrella Fabric
Sunbrella® is the gold standard in outdoor fabrics, renowned for its durability, fade resistance, and luxurious feel. Here’s why Sunbrella® is the fabric of choice for our outdoor furniture. Sunbrella® fabrics are designed with busy lifestyles in mind. Spills and stains can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water, and for tougher stains, even a bleach solution won’t damage the fabric. You can visit Sunbrella Outdoor selection to choose the fabric you like.
PC Olefin Fabric
Olefin fabric is a smart choice for outdoor furniture, offering a balance between performance and affordability. Olefin is designed to resist fading and UV damage, making it ideal for outdoor settings where sun exposure is constant. This ensures that your furniture retains its vibrant colors season after season.
Rope
Marine Grade Rope is the same rope used to tie boats to docks. It’s made from high-quality synthetic fibers designed to withstand exposure to saltwater, UV rays, and extreme temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor use.
Sling
Sling is a popular material for outdoor furniture, known for its comfort, durability, and low maintenance. At Protege Casual, our sling furniture is crafted using Textilene, a high-performance fabric designed to offer the perfect balance of relaxation and longevity.
Aluminum
Aluminum is a cornerstone material in outdoor furniture, prized for its exceptional properties that make it both practical and stylish for outdoor environments. At Protégé Casual, we carefully select and craft our aluminum furniture using two distinct types: Extruded Aluminum and Cast Aluminum. Each type brings unique benefits to our designs, ensuring that our customers receive high-quality, long-lasting pieces.
Wicker
While traditional wicker refers to a weaving technique, our furniture features synthetic wicker made from HDPE resin. This advanced material provides superior durability and aesthetic appeal compared to natural wicker.
Concrete
Concrete is a robust material that provides both strength and aesthetic appeal. At Protege Casual, we use glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) to combine the traditional benefits of concrete with advanced technology, resulting in furniture that is both durable and stylish.
Sintered Stone
Sintered stone combines the look of natural stone with enhanced performance characteristics, making it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture. It offers a modern aesthetic while ensuring long-term reliability.
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
HDPE is a premium material widely used in outdoor furniture for its exceptional durability and low maintenance. Made from recycled plastics, HDPE lumber is resistant to cracking, rotting, and fading, even under harsh weather conditions. It is UV-protected to retain its vibrant color and withstand long-term sun exposure without degrading. With its eco-friendly composition and ability to mimic the look of natural wood, HDPE is the perfect choice for sustainable and stylish outdoor furniture that stands the test of time.
