Textilene and Phifertex fabrics: strength and durability
In the world of outdoor furniture, choosing the appropriate materials is essential in order to guarantee durability, strength and comfort. For that reason, the quality of Ezpeleta’s fabrics is one of the keys to our production.
Two of the materials that Ezpeleta uses in the manufacture of its furniture are Textilene and Phifertex, widely used in the sector. Discover the characteristics and advantages of these fabrics in this blog post.
Textilene: a robust and versatile fabric
Textilene is a material made up of PVC coated vinyl threads. This combination of interwoven materials provides vital characteristics for the manufacture of outdoor furniture, since this fabric is extremely strong and robust, with excellent durability.
Textilene is resistant to inclement weather, so it is an ideal choice for furniture which is exposed to the sun, humidity and rain. Moreover, its high resistance to UV rays also prevents it from becoming discoloured and deteriorating.
Another significant advantage is that this material is waterproof. Its mesh type weave prevents water from remaining on the surface and, since it is breathable, it also prevents moisture build-up. These characteristics make this fabric highly recommended for garden furniture or furniture for pool or beach areas.
Finally, this material is easy to maintain and boasts a long use life. Its ease of cleaning and light weight make it ideal for the furniture in any establishment, since it makes it easy to distribute or move.
Phifertex: a technical mesh fabric
Phifertex, on the other hand, is a fabric made with PVC coated polyester thread. It is also an extremely robust material and can be combined with iron, wood or resin.
This fabric, designed specifically for outdoor use, enjoys excellent breathability and resistance to humidity, so it is perfect for furniture in areas that are hot or have high levels of humidity. Additionally, it offers excellent resistance to UV rays and fading.
The mesh structure of Phifertex is ideal for achieving increased comfort for users since it provides ergonomic support and a feeling of weightlessness.
The variety of colours offered by this fabric also stands out, and they stay bright over time. Additionally, thanks to its mesh structure, it provides a sophisticated and contemporary design to outdoor furniture.
Finally, as with Textilene, this fabric is extremely robust and durable, it withstands intensive outdoor use. It is also very easy to clean and disinfect, it doesn’t require exhaustive maintenance.

At Ezpeleta, you will find products like our MONACO chair which, thanks to the fact it is made in Textilene, is very lightweight and hygienic, easy to maintain and moisture resistant. Moreover, it is stackable and available in 5 neutral colours which add a chic touch to your terrace.
On the other hand, thanks to the properties of Phifertex, at Ezpeleta, we have also opted to use it in various products in our catalogue, including our VILA and LAGO sun loungers.
Our VILA sun lounger, made in Phifertex, with a lacquered aluminium structure and fibreglass-reinforced polypropylene legs, boasts a combination of materials that make it extremely robust and functional. Available in 4 colours, its attractive and simple aesthetic combine with excellent robustness and ease of use.
