For Seams That Last A Lifetime!
Today's outdoor fabrics are lasting longer than ever before. In fact, when cushions fail, the first thing to go is usually the thread. The culprit is the inexpensive polyester threads or worse cotton threads that most manufacturers use. Over and Under, Inc. uses PTFE sewing threads. PTFE Sewing threads have two advantages over other threads:
1. They last a very long time even with exposure to UV sunlight, cleaning agents, saltwater and extreme weather.
2. They do not absorb dirt so they are very cleanable. If the thread looks dirty on your outdoor cushions you can be sure it is not PTFE.
W.L. Gore TENARA Sewing Thread is from the same manufacturers of GORTEX (well known for quality protective fabrics). TENARA is a branded PTFE sewing thread and it comes with a LIFETIME warranty guaranteed to outlast the fabric in which it is used. If you want a warranty against thread failure, against the first thing to fail, then choose this option. To prove your cushions are sewn with TENARA, each cushion will have a label of authenticity sewn in.
