Can outdoor upholstery fabric be used indoors?
The answer is yes. However, using outdoor upholstery fabric for indoor use may not be the best choice. Fabrics designed for outdoor use are typically made from waterproof and water-resistant materials to withstand harsh weather conditions like rain, sun, and wind. This waterproof feature can make the fabric less breathable and unsuitable for indoor use.
Additionally, outdoor upholstery fabric is often made from materials that are UV-resistant and fade-resistant, but these chemicals may not be suitable for indoor health.
Instead, it's best to choose fabrics specially designed for indoor use with features such as breathability, easy cleaning, and safety for health.
Note
Each type of upholstery fabric, depending on its intended use indoors or outdoors, will be manufactured with different materials and designs to suit the usage needs. Therefore, it's important to use them for their intended purpose as instructed by the manufacturer.
