Empire Patio Covers Product FAQ

What is the difference between Signature and Classic materials?

Our signature material is a woven textile, made of 600 denier polyester, where our Classic material is a three layer composite material, made with polypropylene. Both materials are treated for UV resistance.

How do the covers protect against Rain?

The Signature material covers have a water resistant coating and extra binding on the interior to keep water from penetrating at the double-stitched seams. The classic material covers are 100% waterproof and have ultrasonic seams (they are welded, rather than sewn, together).

Do I have to worry about Mold or Mildew?

NO! Trapped moisture is what causes mold and mildew growth, and both cover types are designed to allow moisture to evaporate out. The classic material is breathable, so moisture can evaporate out through the material itself. The Signature material has a positive air flow venting system.

How do I clean my patio furniture covers?

We recommend you spot-clean any dirt or spots on your cover with a soft cloth and diluted mild detergent, but you can also machine wash these covers. You cannot put your covers in the dryer, please lay flat or line dry.

We get a lot of wind. How do these covers stay on my patio furniture?

Both cover types feature a strap and buckle system to secure them to your furniture. Making sure you get the best fit will also reduce the effect of wind on your covers.

Do these covers have a warranty?

Yes! Both cover types carry either a 1-Year (Classic Material) or a 2-Year (Signature Material) limited manufacturer's warranty. To claim your warranty, you will need to retain your original order receipt.

How do I cover my furniture?

First, make sure your furniture is free of excess moisture or dirt. You'll get the best results from your covers if you're covering clean and dry patio furniture. Next, identify the front of your cover and slip the cover over your furniture with the front of the cover facing the front of your furniture. Once the cover is over your furniture, pull it taut and all the way down. Then, secure your cover to your furniture using the buckle and straps under your cover. All that's left to do now is step back and admire!

Do the table covers have a hole for the umbrella?

Because our covers aren’t custom made for each table, we are unable to put a hole in the cover for umbrellas. We do, however, carry separate Umbrella covers at great prices in our Signature material.
