Chair Cover Fabric
For commercial use the primary consideration in selecting chair cover fabric is launderability closely followed by duarbility. The following fabrics are the most popular with our hire company and venue customers due to their usability, long life, and excellent value.
Standard Bi-Stretch Polyester. Excellent durability. A very cost-effective basic fabric with a good degree of 'stretchiness' and crease resistance for 'easy care' launderability. This is the most popular choice for hire companies and venues alike providing a great balance of cost, look and feel, and practicality.
Superior Polyester Twill. The twill weave provides a more luxuriant look and is also more opaque providing better coverage when using light chair covers on dark coloured chairs. Excellent laundry handling and non iron with correct laundry procedure. From just 90p extra per chair cover this fabric is a great value enhancement to standard Bi-Stretch which is proving a big hit with customers.
Spun Polyester. Using a highly innovative manufacturing process spun polyester achieves a feel that is remarkably close to cotton while having all the advantages of a 100% Polyester fabric.
Not only does this fabric resemble cotton but it's soil release qualities make laundry and stain removal simple. It's stability and crease resistant properties make it an excellent chair cover fabric and it perfectly matches our Spun Polyester banqueting cloths.
PolyCotton. Much easier to iron than 100% Cotton with good crease resistance. The feel of this fabric is very close to being a pure cotton and most people think it's cotton until told otherwise. Shrinkage is only 1-2% unlike cotton so no impact to the fit as a result of laundering. The downside is that this is considerably more difficult to launder than 100% polyester and much less resistant to creasing in storage. For most venues and hire companies a 100% Polyester fabric is likley to be the most suitable but where issues such a sproduct 'feel' are key then this is a great alternative to 100% cotton.
100% Cotton. We're often asked for this but we really can't reccomend it. You must be prepared for significantly higher laundry costs with this fabric and also be equipped to store the covers on hanging rails between use or ateam in position on chair.. Shrinkage allowance of 4-6% also needs to be allowed for making as precise a fit as when using the other fabrics above difficult.
Event organisers and the public crave variety and the demand is strong for exciting new fabric choices for chair covers. We are delighted to offer the following for both sale and trade only hire.
Crushed Tafita. Oppulent and fun. A real 'wow' factor head turner that's proving popular with creative events organisers and brides seeking 'something a bit different'. A much more sought after contemporary alternative to Lame fabrics.
Brocade. A traditional classic. Perfectly suited to more formal events requiring something beyond the standard plain covers. The subtle jacqard weave displays understated elegance shile a careful PolyCotton construction makes laundry and storage remarkably easy.
Suedette. A napped 'suede effect' fabric. Stunning sophisticated look. Excellent for corporate events and evening functions.
