Technical Information

Care & Cleaning.

All of our fabric qualities have a relevant care guide available by request.

Soil & Stain.

Some fabrics, especially viscose velvets, are not suitable for soil and stain treatments, where we feel it necessary our fabrics are supplied with a suitable treatment. These treatments are designed to enhance the performance of a fabric under 'normal use' but do not in any way garantee against all types of staining and marking.

Widths.

Our fabrics are available in +/- 140cm as standard but can be supplied double width for special orders, please contact us for further information.

Pattern Repeats.

Where appropriate pattern repeats given relate to widths, please contact us for drop values (all measurements are approximate).

Colour Matching.

Due to the inherent nature of textiles slight shade and other minor variations can occur but are within acceptable trade tolerances. Our patterns and images on this website are just a guide and we cannot guarantee to match shades exactly.

Durability.

Martindale BS 2543 requirement:

+40 000 rubs SEVERE CONTRACT UPHOLSTERY USE.

+30 000 rubs GENERAL CONTRACT UPHOLSTERY USE.

In many instances our fabrics will exceed these requirements achieving +100 000 and higher, please contact us for details.
