Materials & construction
Teak & rope structure
Natural finish teak frame: The chair’s frame is built from natural finish teak, selected for its close grain, natural oil content and suitability for long-term outdoor exposure.
Raven rope back panel: The back panel is formed from Raven colour outdoor rope, creating a layered, strung appearance that mirrors the Saranac lounge seating while remaining durable in outdoor settings.
Outdoor cushion technology
Solution-dyed acrylic fabrics: Gloster describes its upholstery fabrics as being made from solution-dyed acrylic yarns, where colour runs through the fibre to improve UV fade resistance, with surface finishes that help water and stains bead on the fabric.
Performance fabric groups: Outdoor Performance, Water Resistant and Soft Touch fabric groups provide different balances of softness, water resistance and texture while remaining suitable for extended outdoor use.
Usage & care
Dining applications
Arm dining chair: With a 52cm seat height and 65cm arm height, the Saranac Dining Chair with Arms is designed to work with standard outdoor dining tables, providing a supportive, armchair-style dining seat that matches the Saranac lounge pieces.
Protective cover: A dedicated protective cover is available and recommended to help keep teak, rope and cushions cleaner between uses and during off-season storage.
Teak, rope, fabric & cover care
Teak maintenance: Gloster recommends allowing teak to weather naturally with periodic cleaning, avoiding power washing and traditional teak oils, and using Teak & Upholstery Cleaner and Protector where additional stain resistance is desired.
Rope, fabric & cover care: Outdoor rope and fabrics benefit from prompt cleaning of spills and gentle washing with suitable cleaners, while Weathermax protective covers should be fitted to dry furniture and kept free of standing water for best performance.

Warranty
