Using accurate measures is equally important to assess the quality of fabric. Martindale, pilling, and lightfastness indicate a fabric’s durability, emission of lint, and resistance to fading.
For general domestic use, 15,000 to 25,000 Martindale are recommended, whereas commercial spaces like hotels require a durability of more than 50,000 Martindale.
Pilling is classified by a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 rates as the best result after having exposed the fabric to a certain amount of wear.
Lightfastness is measured on a scale from 1 to 8 – 8 shows no fading of the fabric.
Fabrics with personality
For low maintenance and highly resilient upholstery fabric, we recommend furniture in flat- or plain weave polyester with a durability of up to 100,000 Martindale.
Soft to the touch and highly suitable for upholstery, chenille is destined to impress with its plush and stylish appearance.
Boucle is a classy heavy-weight fabric that gives texture to a room with its curly uneven surface.
