FABRIC OPTIONS FOR LOOSE COVERS

THE CHOICE IS QUITE WIDE but care needs to be taken with respect to two major issues. Will the fabric be able to be washed and will it work well as a loose cover and achieve the look you are wanting. We have many years experience in both areas so are well placed to advise. We will tell you if a fabric you are considering is not suitable and suggest alternatives.

Fabric for loose covers does not have to be as hard wearing and in fact some curtaining fabrics will give a more than adequate result. As long as the furniture is not subject to very heavy family treatment and providing it is washed at regular intervals (say once a year) to remove all the gritty dust elements and general household grime, loose covers will give you years of good service for a very inexpensive outlay.

Some of the fabrics we are currently using which work well and which keep costs to a minimum I have pictured below.

POLYCANVAS: 100% Polyester, tough in great range of colours & deceptively natural with silky soft handle.	LINEN UNION (c. 50/50 Linen/Cotton): natural in colour so some variation in tone from one batch to the next. Very soft & easy care thru' our pre-wash method	TICKING: A 100% cotton woven stripe	POLYVISCOSE canvas weave; a terrific range of colours
