The Benefits of Performance Fabric

A high performance fabric is exactly as it sounds. It's designed to last longer, provide extra comfort, offer protection and all whilst looking fabulous! Their multifunctional qualities make them the ideal choice for upholstery fabriccurtains or drapery.

Their durability also means that they last much longer and  you do not have to replace them as often. This allows you to get far more usage for your money.

Another reason to love performance fabrics is their environmentally friendly qualities. Longer-lasting equals less fabric ends up in landfill sites and makes your home a more sustainable indoor space.

Crypton Home Fabrics are also 'Greenguard Gold certified' which helps to enhance your indoor air quality and create a healthier home.

Keeping performance fabric looking great and clean is worry-free.

They have an incredible ability to withstand pretty much anything that is thrown at them. High performance fabrics are ideal for households with young children, pets, and are also ideal for those who love to entertain.

Their built-in stain repellence makes spills and accidents a problem of the past. They can easily be thoroughly cleaned. Simply brush off any loose dirt and use a damp cloth to blot any marks.

For more stubborn stains, spray with a mixture of soap and water and dab or softly scrub. Let it air dry and voila, your fabric will look as good and new.

Curtains & Cushions

Whether the performance fabric has been blended with fibres during the weaving process or had a protective coating added to the cloth, it makes no difference to how wonderful they feel. Performance fabrics are as supple and soft as regular fabrics and are a great option for cosy cushions or dramatic drapery. Their colourfast nature means that curtains will stay looking new for longer and can be hung in direct sunlight without fear of fading. Colourful designs will remain looking bold & patterns will stay sharp over time.
