When choosing an outdoor fabric, aesthetics and durability are essential—but so is safety. That’s why the Outlook and Skyline range are engineered with fire retardancy and mould & mildew resistance, ensuring long-lasting protection, performance, and peace of mind in all environments.
Whether used in external blinds, awnings, or commercial shade solutions, these fabrics are designed to withstand harsh Australian conditions while keeping safety and hygiene a priority. Let’s dive into why these features matter and how they help protect both people and properties.
Fire Retardancy: Protection in High-Risk Environments
Fires can start unexpectedly and spread quickly, especially in hot, dry climates or commercial spaces where safety compliance is crucial. That’s why fire-retardant outdoor fabrics like Outlook and Skyline are a smart investment.
Why Fire Retardancy is Critical:
Prevents Flames from Spreading – Fire-retardant fabrics are treated to slow ignition, helping contain potential hazards.
Enhanced Safety for Homes & Businesses – Ideal for residential outdoor blinds, commercial spaces, and public areas where safety is a priority.
Compliance with Fire Safety Regulations – Many industries and councils require fire-rated fabrics for commercial and public installations.
In areas prone to heat exposure, electrical equipment, or outdoor cooking, using a fire-retardant fabric like Outlook or Skyline adds an extra layer of protection and preparedness.
Did you know? Fire-retardant fabrics don’t just resist ignition—they also help reduce smoke and toxic fumes, making evacuation and fire control easier.
Mould & Mildew Resistance: Longevity & Hygiene
Outdoor fabrics are constantly exposed to moisture, humidity, and organic matter, making them vulnerable to mould and mildew growth. Without proper protection, fabrics can become stained, odorous, and structurally weak, leading to expensive replacements.
Why Mould & Mildew Resistance is Essential:
Prevents Fabric Deterioration – Mould and mildew can weaken fabric fibres over time, reducing their lifespan.
Maintains a Clean Appearance – No one wants unsightly black spots or stains on their outdoor blinds or awnings.
Health & Hygiene Benefits – Mould spores can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health concerns.
With built-in mould and mildew resistance, Outlook and Skyline fabrics stay cleaner for longer, making them a low-maintenance, high-performance choice.
Pro Tip: Regular cleaning and proper ventilation further extend the lifespan of outdoor fabrics, but choosing mould-resistant materials from the start means less maintenance and better durability.
