contract upholstery fabric
When seating sees hundreds of guests a week, ordinary textiles wear out fast. Contract upholstery fabric is engineered for commercial settings like hotels, restaurants, offices, and healthcare waiting rooms, where durability, cleanability, and safety matter as much as style. Choosing the right contract grade fabric helps your furniture look sharp longer and keeps replacement costs down.
What Makes Fabric Contract Grade
Commercial upholstery fabric is tested to handle heavy, daily use. Before you buy, check each product's listed details for the qualities that fit your space.
Abrasion Resistance
Look at the double rub rating, which measures how well a fabric stands up to repeated friction. Higher ratings generally suit high traffic upholstery such as booths, lobby chairs, and conference seating.
Cleanability and Finishes
Spills are inevitable in hospitality. Tightly woven textiles, vinyls, and fabrics with stain-resistant finishes make wipe-downs quicker and help maintain a fresh appearance.
Flammability Requirements
Many commercial projects must meet local fire codes. Confirm the testing information for any fabric against your project's requirements before ordering.
