Torino Water-Repellent PVC-Coated Polyester Canvas, 150cm Wide Royal

Torino Water-Repellent PVC-Coated Canvas, Outdoor Cushion & Cover Fabric

Torino is a versatile, water-repellent PVC-coated polyester canvas made for outdoor seating, protective covers, marine accessories and general fabric projects. Manufactured with a 100% PVC topcoat and polyester backing, it combines a practical textured surface with the flexibility needed for cutting, sewing and fabricating bespoke covers.

Supplied 150cm wide and sold by the linear metre, Torino is popular with upholsterers, marine trimmers, outdoor furniture manufacturers, cover makers and DIY customers seeking durable, shower-resistant material.

Water-Repellent Fabric for Outdoor Cushions and Garden Furniture

Torino is a choice for suitable outdoor cushion covers and garden furniture upholstery where resistance to occasional showers is desirable.

Typical applications include:

• Garden chair and bench cushions
• Patio furniture seat and back cushions
• Outdoor scatter cushion covers
• Garden swing seat cushions
• Removable outdoor furniture covers
• Replacement cushion covers for garden seating

The PVC-coated surface helps resist moisture and can be wiped clean, making Torino practical for regularly used outdoor seating.

For bespoke cushions,

Torino Fabric for Boat Covers and Marine Upholstery

Torino can also be used for suitable marine upholstery and light-duty protective covers where shower resistance is sufficient.

Applications include boat-seat cushions, removable cockpit seating covers, marine storage covers and protective coverings for boating accessories.

Its flexible construction makes it useful for shaped panels and fitted covers. However, boat covers exposed to prolonged rainfall, standing water or demanding marine conditions may require a specialist fully waterproof material.

For outdoor and marine cushions where drainage is important, consider the Reticulated Foam range.

Garden Furniture Covers and Outdoor Protection

Torino provides a practical fabric option for making bespoke protective covers for garden equipment, patio accessories and suitable outdoor furniture.

Potential projects include BBQ covers, garden storage covers, furniture dust covers and lightweight protective equipment coverings.

The material is particularly useful where a flexible, wipe-clean fabric is preferred and the finished article will mainly encounter occasional showers rather than continuous exposure.

Allow for ventilation, water run-off and appropriate fastening points when designing larger covers.

PVC-Coated Fabric for Bags and Pet Bedding

Beyond outdoor furniture, Torino is also suitable for selected bag-making, luggage and pet-accessory projects.

Its textured coated surface makes it useful for washable-look, wipe-clean fabric panels, protective bag sections, dog-bed covers and removable pet bedding covers.

Possible applications include equipment bags, storage bags, pet-bed covers and protective carrying accessories.

Select the construction, lining, seams and fastening materials according to the intended finished product.

150cm Wide Canvas Sold by the Metre

Torino is supplied 150cm wide, approximately 59 inches.

One linear metre provides fabric approximately 150cm wide by 100cm long.

When calculating quantities, allow sufficient material for cushion borders, seam allowances, hems, fastening points and any extra panels required for a complete cover.

For removable cushion covers,

Understanding Torino's Water-Repellent Properties

Torino is designed to withstand showers and light rain, but prolonged or persistent rainfall may eventually penetrate the material.

The water resistance of a completed cover also depends on its seams, stitching, zips and overall construction.

For projects requiring a reinforced waterproof covering material, see Tarpex & Waterproof Fabric collection.

Cutting, Sewing and Caring for Torino Fabric

Use suitable sharp fabric-cutting tools and test stitching on an offcut before making the finished item.

Choose sewing threads and needles appropriate for PVC-coated materials. The Sewing Threads & Twines range includes workroom supplies for suitable fabric projects.

For routine cleaning, wipe away surface dirt using a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution. Allow the material to dry fully before storage.
