Ultrafabrics Launch New Indoor/Outdoor Performance Fabric, Coast

Ultrafabrics, the animal-free performance fabric producer, announced the launch of Coast, a new indoor/outdoor performance fabric created with the effects of Mother Nature in mind. It provides  comfort and protection for both indoor and outdoor settings. The new collection hosts a range of resilient properties and features designed to combat even the toughest climates.

Coast is water-resistant to environments where both chlorinated and salt water are a danger to furniture. It features enhanced UV resistance and colorfastness to sunlight, and remains cool to the touch even on the hottest summer days.

It is also engineered to defend against and inhibit the growth of mildew, bacteria, and other surface pathogens, making it well-suited for a range of demanding spaces. The new fabric has inherent stain protection and can withstand regular cleaning and disinfection, including with bleach solutions.

Jennifer Hendren, Senior Director of Product Development says of the launch, “With Coast, we are excited to bring excellence to outdoor living, whether oceanside at a hotel resort, poolside at home or to any of our marine partners. Natural elements are a force to be reckoned with, and we are pleased clients can trust Coast to bring quality and protection to their performance fabric investment”

Ultrafabrics has long been a partner and resource for brands to future-proof their products with trend-setting color choices. The brand’s growing client list of luxury brands spans many industries, from residential and contract furniture to upholstery for cars, yachts, airlines and private jets.

Inspired by where land meets the sea, Coast has a subtle pebble-like texture that’s elevated by an incredibly soft touch. Its curated color palette embodies the soft hues and soothing qualities found at the coastline. Sixteen shades of sand, driftwood, coral, sea glass and sky blues celebrate the organic beauty of nature and seamlessly integrate with any design aesthetic.

Tried and tested in the real world

Ultrafabrics has gone above and beyond with its testing protocols to offer peace of mind to specifiers and end-users. For 2 years, the Ultrafabrics team followed two marine manufacturers to understand how Coast fabric performed in real-time. It was exposed to sun, water, stains, kids, pets, and cleaning solutions.

At the same time, the brand conducted weathering tests in the dry heat of Arizona and the hot and humid climate of Florida. For one year Coast sat out in the sun, rain, and everything in between, to test its aesthetic stability and overall endurance.

They found that all colors in the Coast collection will retain not only their appearance but most importantly the performance attributes will remain throughout its use, no matter the setting.
