Upholstery Material

The manufacturer uses upholstery made of different materials - synthetics, natural or combined. Each of the options has a certain advantage. For example, for the nursery it is worth using only natural fibers, and for the living room where the operation of the sofa is increased, it is better to resort to synthetic materials.

In general, the manufacturer uses the following types of canvas:

• Chenill - unpretentious and easily processed textiles.
• Jacquard - due to its high density, wear-resistant.
• Velor - not intended for daily use, as it is quickly worn away.
• Cotton is a natural, wear-resistant fabric.
• Arpatek is a noble material, similar to leather, but has more advantages.
• Microfiber is an analogue of velor, but at the same time unpretentious.

• 1 - satisfactory wear resistance, natural woven and non-woven compacted fabrics are included in this category.
• 2 - dense structure, mixed composition, ideal furniture with such upholstery is suitable for home use. Among the advantages are durability, moderate abrasion and price.
• 3 - medium heavy material with high density, resistance to abrasion and fading, durable. Such fabrics have a complex embossed texture.
• 4 - in this case, the indicators of abrasion, durability and resistance to damage are much higher than in the previous categories. Furniture with similar upholstery is suitable for offices.
• 5 - heavy woven fabrics for the most part with natural fibers. They are reinforced with additional lining and decorated with artistic images. The cost of the canvas due to natural threads and design decisions is high.
• 6 - artificial leather, has a long period of operation, increased by proper care. At the same time, the cost of the material is lower than genuine leather.
• 7 - genuine leather of varying degrees of dressing and thickness, but in any case, the fabric will be additionally applied from the inside, which increases the service life.
