Explore ProductsKey Considerations for Specifying Coated Fabrics
When choosing the right coated upholstery for your project, it’s important to keep the following factors in mind:
Performance
When selecting fabrics, consider their abrasion resistance for frequent use, cleanability for easy maintenance in high-traffic areas, and stain resistance for spaces prone to spills.
Aesthetics
Choose coated fabrics based on color, finish (glossy, matte, or leather-like), and whether you want a woven textile appearance to suit the design.
Material Health
Prioritize options that are free of PVC and meet health and sustainability standards, ensuring they are safe for occupants and environmentally responsible.
Budget
Coated fabrics vary in cost depending on factors such as material composition, finish, and performance features.
