Fabric Information

Click ‘View All’ in the main navigation and use the filters to narrow your search by product type, color, pattern, performance features, and more. If you know the pattern name or SKU, use the search bar at the top of the page.

All fabric specifications (including content, width, repeat, durability, performance features, and cleaning information) are listed on each product page.

If you know the pattern name or SKU, use the search bar to locate it. Otherwise, click ‘View All’ and use the available filters to browse the collection. If you still can’t locate a pattern, please contact your local sales representative.

A double rub is the industry standard used to measure a fabric’s abrasion resistance and overall durability. During testing, a machine rubs the fabric back and forth until noticeable wear occurs. The higher the double rub count, the more durable the fabric is expected to be for upholstery applications.

Double rub ratings should be considered alongside other factors such as fiber content, construction, and the intended end use when selecting a fabric.

“Yards available to treat” refers to the amount of unbacked (plain) fabric currently in stock that can be finished with a treatment or backing, such as IMO, Alta™, or FTG.

Yes. Select fabrics feature sustainable attributes. Please refer to the product page for sustainability information or contact your sales representative for assistance.

Richloom Contract has partnered with Aquaclean Fabrics to develop two collections featuring Aquaclean technology. The technology is incorporated into the fabric fibers, allowing most stains to be removed with water alone, delivering easy-clean performance without the use of harsh chemicals.

Flammability performance varies by product. Please refer to the product page for applicable testing and certifications, or contact your sales representative if you have project-specific requirements.

Fabric colors may vary due to differences in monitor and mobile device settings, as well as variations in photography lighting. We recommend ordering a complimentary memo sample to evaluate color and texture before making a final specification.
