Materials & Construction
Architectural Modular Design
Compact Centre Seating Element: The Grid Small Centre Unit is designed as a modular central seating component, making it ideal for building larger outdoor sofa arrangements while also functioning as a standalone lounge seat where space or layout requires a more compact footprint.
The square 103cm × 103cm form creates a balanced presence within the Grid system, pairing deep lounge comfort with a clean geometric silhouette.
Outdoor Upholstery Comfort
Included Seat & Back Cushions: Upholstered outdoor fabric seat and back cushions are included, giving the Grid Small Centre Unit its soft, lounge-oriented comfort and visually grounded appearance.
Fabric Performance: Gloster’s outdoor fabrics are made from solution-dyed acrylic yarns with water- and stain-repellent surface finishes, and are grouped into Outdoor Performance, Water Resistant, and Soft Touch categories depending on fabric construction and feel.
Powder Coated Aluminium Frame
Lightweight Strength: Aluminium offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and very high corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor modular seating. The powder coated finish is electrostatically applied to ensure full surface coverage and a durable, easy-care outer layer.
This finish is highly resistant to moisture and corrosion and should be cleaned gently using water, mild detergent, and a microfibre cloth or sponge. Abrasive materials should be avoided.
Protective Cover Use
Weathermax Cover Protection: The optional protective cover is made from breathable, heavy-duty Weathermax solution-dyed polyester designed to reduce dirt build-up, environmental staining, and unnecessary weather exposure when the furniture is not in use.
Best Practice: Covers should only be fitted when the furniture and cushions are fully dry, and should be removed regularly so the unit can be cleaned and maintained even during long covered periods.
Usage & Care
Flexible Lounge Applications
Standalone or Modular Use: The Grid Small Centre Unit is ideal for terraces, patios, garden lounges, and hospitality environments where it can function either as a linking module within a larger Grid arrangement or as an individual lounge chair with architectural presence.
Relaxed Lounge Comfort: The 40cm seat height and deep 103cm seat depth create a low, generous seating posture suited to informal outdoor relaxation.

Gloster Warranty: Gloster warrants its outdoor furniture to the original purchaser against defective materials and workmanship under intended reasonable use, subject to proper maintenance, proof of purchase, and compliance with warranty conditions.
Care Requirements: Regular cleaning and maintenance in accordance with Gloster’s aftercare instructions are required to preserve warranty validity, while normal wear, fabric marks from use, and environmental ageing are excluded from warranty cover.
