skai® Outdoor faux leather
With exceptional skai® materials, we offer innovative upholstery fabrics for a wide range of applications – including outdoor use. The skai® faux leather is perfectly suited for upholstering seating furniture. High‑quality embossing gives the surfaces a unique appearance.
Faux leather designed specially for outdoor applications
Our portfolio also includes artificial leather with special properties for outdoor applications. skai® cool colors with the embossing Venezia and Valero, for example, is a high-quality upholstery fabric specially designed for outdoor use. Its surface keeps the upholstery material cool even in direct sunlight. Special cool colors pigments reflect up to 80% of near-infrared radiation, which reduces the heat build-up in the upholstery material by up to 25%. This innovative technology has already proved its worth in other areas such as convertible seat coverings or window frames, where it has been found that the darker the color, the greater the effect. Now, skai® cool colors means colorful synthetics spanning the entire spectrum can be used in outdoor applications – something that would once have been unthinkable due to the heat. Available in many on-trend colors, this material opens up a whole new world of possibilities for furniture designers to find that perfect outdoor shade.
Faux leather for designing outdoor furniture
Designers and furniture manufacturers purchase Continental outdoor fabrics by the meter and use them to create high‑quality outdoor furniture for terraces, balconies, or pool areas – whether in a leather look or with creative designs.
Lounge furniture
Cozy lounge furniture becomes attractive eye‑catchers in outdoor spaces when upholstered with our artificial leather. Whether used on sofas, armchairs, or canapés, the material is extremely robust and easy to maintain. This makes it an excellent choice for demanding commercial environments as well
Garden furniture
Garden furniture can also be refined with our artificial leather. The high‑quality upholstery materials are coated and therefore perfectly suited for outdoor use.
High‑quality properties
Being tough in all weather conditions, performing well in rough seas, and still remaining comfortable and flexible – these are exactly the qualities required from upholstery materials in outdoor environments. The skai® cool colors range, for example, meets all the requirements for this challenge as an upholstery material. It is robust and protected against all external influences. At the same time, seating in cabins must also be comfortable, representative, and functional. These proven upholstery materials offer a wide variety of textures and colors. In addition, they are weather‑resistant, waterproof, flame‑retardant, and resistant to dirt. This makes them exceptionally easy to care for.
