Today’s homeowners have busy lifestyles (that include spills, muddy pawprints & sticky fingers) and that’s reflected in the soaring popularity of performance upholstery fabric. Gone are the days of covering the sofa with plastic or only allowing adults to use the “good” furniture, modern consumers have embraced a more casual lifestyle that demands durability and stain resistance.
Any furniture manufacturer or fabric retailer not offering performance fabric in their product lines is leaving a huge opportunity for profit on the table. To that end, Regal has worked diligently to expand our fabrics stocked with our white label performance finishing, Pureformance C-Zero finish, and offer it as an after-market solution on any of our fabrics.
C-Zero performance fabric finishing provides superior water-based liquid repellency and stain resistance. After years of offering multiple performance finishing options including C-Zero, in 2022 Regal Fabrics committed to solely using PFAS-free finish as it’s safer for people and the environment.
Our PUREformance flourine-free finishing is a white label solution allowing you to offer high-quality performance looks with your own brand. It’s the same performance your customers have come to expect without the advertising up-charge. Benefits:
For sunny spots and indoor/outdoor use, our outshine line of indoor/outdoor fabrics is made from 100% solution dyed polypropylene yarns (SDPP) with 3,000 hours of built-in UV light resistance properties and are also bleach cleanable with a diluted solution.
Pigments are added to the polymer yarn solution before extrusion, resulting in fibers with color that runs throughout the entire strand. This unique method makes SDPP highly resistant to fading, even when exposed to harsh sunlight, environmental elements, abrasion, and general wear and tear for indoor & outdoor settings where longevity is crucial.
For superior water-based stain repellency, all Regal’s indoor/outdoor fabrics come standard finished with the same PFAS-free performance solution as all PUREformance by Regal Fabrics. In addition, SDPP has hydrophobic properties, meaning it repels water and is resistant to moisture absorption which protects against mold and mildew growth.
Our 5-year warranty covers outshine fabrics’ color fastness, stain resistance, and cleaning performance.
