Outdoor Trim

Outdoor Trim

Outdoor trim provides the finishing passementerie details for cushions, furniture, and soft furnishings used in exterior spaces — constructions engineered to withstand the UV exposure, moisture, and temperature cycling that indoor trim cannot endure. At The WorkRoom, our outdoor trim collection offers braid, tape, fringe, and cord options in weather-resistant constructions from leading trim brands, designed to coordinate with performance and indoor/outdoor fabrics for a complete, weather-durable exterior look.

What Makes Outdoor Trim Different

Outdoor trim is made from solution-dyed acrylic or other UV-stable synthetic fibres — the same material category as Sunbrella and comparable performance fabric — where the colour is introduced at the fibre level rather than applied as a surface dye. This means outdoor trim retains its colour under direct sunlight rather than fading, withstands moisture without rot or mildew, and can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Standard indoor trim made from natural fibres or surface-dyed synthetics will fade, rot, and deteriorate in exterior applications — outdoor-rated construction is a non-negotiable specification for any trim used on exterior furniture or cushions.

Coordinating Outdoor Trim with Performance Fabric

Outdoor trim pairs most naturally with indoor/outdoor fabric and performance fabric cushions — where the trim's weather resistance matches the fabric's durability specification. Coordinating a Sunbrella cushion fabric with an acrylic outdoor braid or tape trim in a complementary or contrasting colour creates a finished exterior aesthetic that can withstand years of outdoor use without deterioration.
