SOFAS MAKE COVERS

Pretty much anything is feasible in fabric: No other material can be manufactured with such versatility, there are no limits to the possibilities for colors and patterns. In the past, only natural fibers from plants or animals were used to manufacture fabrics. Today they are more often completely or partially replaced by synthetic fibers for reasons of durability or easier maintenance. The manufacturing processes also know no limits.

FLAT WEAVE

Flat woven fabrics have a two-dimensional structure and are created by crossing two threads at right angles. They are available in many different yarns and colors. Typical for this material are light-related color differences (lighter and darker areas) and other irregularities, e.g. B. by thickening of the thread. Flat tissue roughen the surface during use, and pills (formation of nodules) can also occur. For chenille fabrics, also flat woven fabrics, fancy yarns are used from which very short threads also protrude. They ensure a velvety surface

VELOR

Velor is created when an additional pile is worked into the flat fabric, a three-dimensional fabric, so to speak (French: velor = velvet). Characteristic features of the material are the tightly closed surface and the velvety soft handle. The so-called seat mirror is part of the appearance of velor. Depending on the direction of the weave (pile layer), the fabric can appear lighter or darker.

 

MICROFIBER FABRICS

Microfiber fabrics are all non-woven textiles, such as B. Alcantara. Microfibers are the finest, hard-wearing synthetic fibers. The slightly roughened surface, the very good heat retention, breathing activity and lightfastness are typical of microfibre. Microfibers are very hard-wearing.

 

QUALITY MARK

Many expectations are placed on textile cover materials for upholstered furniture. They have to be lightfast, rubfast and scrubbable: quality information that you should pay attention to.

ABRASION TOURS

The main quality characteristic of a fabric is the abrasion rating. The higher the value, the greater the resistance. Depending on the upholstery - a hard upholstery quickly leads to abrasion of the upholstery fabric required on it - a fabric from 10,000 - 15,000 Martindale tours is considered suitable for daily, private use.

LIGHTFASTNESS

It describes the constancy of the color with prolonged exposure to light. The result is measured on a scale from 1 to 8, with 8 standing for 'excellent light fastness' and 1 for 'low light fastness'. Dark colors are generally more lightfast than light colors. For the requirements for upholstered furniture, lightfastnesses from 4 are considered sufficient.

RUBBING FASTNESS

This characteristic provides information about the resistance of the colors of an upholstery fabric to abrasion | Color rubs off on other textiles. The higher the value on a scale from 1 to 5, the better. Values ​​between 3 and 4 are considered good.
