Furniture covers

Garden furniture, such as bistro sets and outdoor sofas, whether at home or outside a café, is generally made from more robust materials than indoor furnishings. Nevertheless, even outdoor furniture should be well protected by a suitable furniture cover, not only over winter but also during the warmer months. Because wind, weather and UV radiation, as well as bird droppings, insect debris, pollen, dust or air pollution can significantly reduce the lifespan of even the highest quality furniture.

PLANOFIL^® tarpaulin material

PLANOFIL^® is the go-to material for manufacturers of covers, as well as restaurateurs and private customers to protect their furniture when it's left outside. Our versatile Swiss-made tarpaulin fabric is the market leader in most of the functional categories tested and provides effective all-weather protection for all kinds of outdoor furniture: extremely hard-wearing and weather-resistant, UV-resistant, tear-resistant, waterproof, water-repellent and dirt-repellent, yet low-maintenance and flexible, lightweight and compact to store. Furthermore, PLANOFIL^® is extremely straightforward to handle and to work with.

The key benefits of PLANOFIL^® for use in outdoor furniture covers

Reliable protection

The market for outdoor furniture, from bistro sets to garden sofas, is worth billions. Whether wood, rattan or plastic, aluminium, stainless steel or granite – when it comes to creating their own personal oasis, it is not unknown for customers to spend four-figure sums. The investment in long-term restaurant furnishings is many times higher. To keep outdoor furniture looking and functioning its best for as long as possible, it should be preserved from the very outset all-year round by an adequate cover, such as our PLANOFIL^® covers.

The high-quality functional material provides extreme protection against:

Weather conditions (wind or storms, rain, snow, ice, heat, UV radiation)
Bird droppings
Insects, tree sap
Scratches
Pollen, Saharan dust
Dirt, air pollution
Mould

Durable and hard-wearing

The specialist PU coating makes PLANOFIL^® so hard-wearing that it reliably protects more than just the chairs, tables and sofas beneath it. The high-quality tarpaulin fabric withstands the toughest outdoor conditions in summer and in winter:

UV-resistant (UV protection factor 50+, tested to ISO 13758 standard)
Weather-resistant and temperature-resistant (from -40 to +80 ºC)
Waterproof (water column of 200 cm)
Water-repellent (tested in accordance with Bundesmann ISO 29865)
Dirt-repellent
Special mould-prevention treatment

Lightweight and space-saving

PLANOFIL^® weighs just 190 g/m2, making it lighter than any other comparable tarpaulin fabric on the market. This means covering and uncovering even large outdoor sofa sets is a breeze. What's more, our PLANOFIL^® tarpaulins roll up to a compact size to be stowed neatly away even where storage space is tight in garages, sheds or basements.

Tear-resistant and abrasion-resistant

Anyone who invests in a high-quality PLANOFIL^® cover can still count on reliable protection for their furniture after years of outdoor use. Even after long-term exposure to wind, rain and sunlight, the cover will not become brittle or lose its shape:

Tear resistance tested in compliance with ISO 13934-1
Tear propagation resistance tested in compliance with Elmendorf ISO 13937-1
Abrasion resistance tested in compliance with Martindale ISO 12947-2

Low-maintenance

PLANOFIL^® gives you more time to sit back and enjoy your immaculate garden furniture. Because not only does the cover save you from having to clean the furniture, but the tarpaulin itself is practically self-cleaning too. Thanks to a special water-repellent finish, even heavy dirt struggles to stick to the surface of the material; instead, it usually washes off the next time it rains.

As the market leader in numerous functional categories (including water column, UV protection, tear propagation resistance and beading effect), PLANOFIL^® provides exceptional, durable year-round protection for outdoor furniture both in the private sector and in hospitality.
