We have a list of popular fabric manufacturers showing the ranges that their fabrics fall into which you will need when establishing a price for the furniture.

COM (Customers Own Material)

Some of our customers choose to send their own supply of fabric. In our price list there is a special price for "Customers Own Material" together with the meterage required for each upholstered Item. When supplying fabric on a COM basis, please ensure the fabric manufacturer provides us with the appropriate Fire retardant certificate.

Anti-Microbial Fabrics

This is important these days, with reported infections in care homes on the increase, to minimise the incedents that occur. By using Anti-Microbilal fabrics we can help reduce the number of these problems.

The fabrics we use for our own range (Classic X range) and the fabrics most of our customers specify are Anti-Microbial fabrics. This means they will not support microbial growth including the following on some fabrics

  • MRSA
  • Salmonella
  • Altinata
  • Aspergillius Niger
  • Penicillum
  • Cladosporium Herbarism
  • E Coli
  • Staphylococcus Aureus

Each manufacturer has their own instructions for cleaning, please ask for full instructions to be sent with your furniture order.
