A wide and comprehensive range of fabrics in current colors is available.
For our fine upholstery we use mainly four different types of fabrics,
which are explained in detail below.
|
-
microfibres –
Microfibre is a term for fibres with strands thinner than one denier.
Fabrics made with microfibres from polyester are exceptionally soft and
hold their shape well.
They are easy to care for, soft in touch and breathable. Special finishes like
Teflon®
® fabric protector ensure that the fabric is permanently stain resistant.
Microfibres come in a wide range of different qualities and prices.
They distinguish by the thickness of the fibre, effects of light
and shades and their features of cleanability.
Offered brands are Wimalon®, Wimara (protected with Teflon®) and
Crypton.
-
nylon-velvets –
fabrics with a 100% nylon face, backed by a poly/cotton blended substrate.
Because nylon is one of the strongest man-made fibers available and inherently
stain resistant, nylon-velvets are highly and easy to care for. Solvents,
however, must no be used for stain removal.
More than just durable, nylon-velvets are soft, stylish and environmentally friendly.
They come in an array of colors, designs and textures
Offered brands are Jaguar and Enoa.
-
velvets -
Velvet is a type of tufted fabric in which the cut threads are very evenly distributed,
with a short dense pile, giving it its distinct, soft feel.
Velvet can be made from any fibre. It is woven on a special loom that weaves two
pieces of velvet at the same time. The two pieces are then cut apart and the two
lengths of fabric are wound on separate take-up rolls.
Genuine velvets are extremely durable and light fastened .
-
Flat Weaves & Chenille -
Chenille is a fabric consisting of wool, cotton, silk or artificial fibres.
For durability reasons mainly artificial fibres with sometimes a limited part
of cotton are used for upholstery purposes.
It is woven from blurry yarns or tufts.
Usually it is a mix from chenille and normal textile yarns.
While chenille is the filling, the other yarn is the warp.
Chenille is a pile yarn originally made by weaving a pile fabric and
subsequently cutting it into strips.
