Fabrics

Specialist fabrics for your care home or hospice might need to be tough-wearing and wipe-clean or might need to be stretchy and breathable.  Vinyl is a hard-wearing fabric and it will not wear or tear easily.  It's tough and waterproof, which is ideal for places like nursing home environments.  Vinyl isn’t very stretchy or breathable though, so it’s not very good for pressure relief.  Instead, consider a vapour permeable (VP) fabric like Dartex or Panvelle Stretch.  At CLH, we can help you find a wide range of robust and aesthetically pleasing fabric options from the likes of Panaz and AGUA fabrics available for a variety of chairs and more through CLH.
