Polyester Cushions

What's it made of? Glencrest Seatex Polyester cushions and parasols are made fromWeather-TEX fabrics, which are based on high quality P.E.T (polyethylene terephthalate) fibre. The dying and finishing treatment uses solely CIBA dyestuffs and chemicals. All fabrics are dyed and finished according to Eco standards. Where can it be used? The Weather-TEX fabric is made especially for outdoor use. It is easy to clean and provides a high level of comfort, it doesn't get wet but rather conveys humidity without absorbing it. How does it feel? Very soft and smooth to the touch. Is it washable? Yes. Weather-TEX fabric is fully washable and won't shrink. How should I store my cushions and parasol? Cushions and parasols should be completely dry before storing them away. We suggest you retain the zipped bags supplied with your cushion. The Glencrest cushion storage bag holds up to six recliner cushions in a neat and convenient carry bag. Your retailer should have details about Glencrest storage bags.

Filling

The ultimate filling for comfort and safety

• Resists compression
• Breathable, low moisture uptake
• Non allergenic, clean and odourless
• Complies with furniture and Furnishings (Fire)(Safety) regulations 1988

The ULTRASPRING® range of products are a unique blend of polyester fibres that contain conjugate hollow fibres designed specifically to provide the ultimate in filling materials for both comfort and safety.

Conjugate fibres are defined as the ‘co-extrusion’ of two different polymers to produce a bicomponent fibre that is able to combine the properties of both materials to provide particular performance characteristics. The variation in the cooling pattern of the extruded polymers provides a ‘spring like’ or three dimensional appearance to the fibres when seen at close hand.

This ‘spring like’ appearance of the hollow conjugate fibre is designed to resist compression much like the springs seen in everyday life. The hollow cross section of the fibre provides the addition of a high comfort factor that compliments this resistance.

All the ULTRASPRING® range of products are clean, odourless, breathable and non allergenic and additionally demonstrate low moisture uptake levels. All conform to the Furniture and Furnishing (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988.

British Standard BS5852 1988 (Fire) (Safety) Regulations.

All of our covers and fillings conform to BS5852. Every cushion is batch numbered and a record maintained by the manufacturer or importer of the production date.

All of the fabrics and fillings used have a fire certificate after testing and every batch of fabric is individually tested and a 'Pass Certificate' received and filed for future reference and inspection by Trading Standards if required.

Our cushion fillings are tested on a regular basis by the UK Manufacturers and all test results are kept.

As any cushions may be stored or used inside or outside the house they all come under the same fire & safety standard criteria, therefore our Garden Furniture cushions come under this law even though they are intended for outdoor use.

BS5852 became law in 1988 following the realisation that deadly fumes from burning or smouldering polyurethane foam fillings can cause death.

DuPont Teflon Coating

Some Glencrest Seatex fabrics have been treated with DuPont Teflon Coating to enhance their ability to protect against dirt, rot, mould and fading.
