How To Choose The Right Upholstery Fabric.
Choosing the right fabric can be a bit of a headache. There are many things to take into consideration when selecting a fabric for your furniture. Considerations such as aesthetics, fibre content, construction and durability all have a part to play. Below are a list of reasons why the Extreme ranges makes for the textile for your next project.
Fibre Choice.
What a fabric is made out of can affect the fabrics performance, durability and longevity. The Extreme range is made from 100% Polypropylene fabric. Polypropylene is a non woven textile which means it is made directly from a material without any need for spinning of weaving. The main benefit of polypropylene as a fabric is its moisture transfer abilities; this textile cannot absorb any moisture, and instead, moisture passes through polypropylene fabric entirely. Polypropylene highly resistant to abrasion and very breathable.
