What is sling furniture?
Available in a wide variety of designs and colors, Sling is a generic term for a woven, open-mesh fabric made from a vinyl coated, high strength polyester yarn. For our sling furniture we use only the highest quality Textilene® woven vinyl.
Historically, slings are found combined with powder-coated aluminum frames. However, due to its inherent good looks, exceptional comfort and practicality, Gloster also has designed products that combine sling with both teak and stainless steel frames.
What are the advantages of Sling furniture?
One of the main benefits of sling is comfort. When stretched taught between two side frames, sling provides a yielding and infinitely variable seating surface that moulds to your individual body shape.
How durable is Sling?
Textilene® woven vinyl is resistant to fading, mildew and wear & tear under even the most severe weather conditions and frequent use. If required, slings are often easily upgraded or replaced. Your Gloster representative will advise the most suitable procedure.
How much maintenance will my furniture require?
Sling requires only occasional cleaning with Gloster Sling & Woven Cleaner to keep it looking as good as new.
