Description

Star belongs to the Sun and Moon textile family. It is a double-coth melange fabric with a craft appearance, although unlike its two sister collections, Star is not suitable for upholstering seats due to its long weave. Its enlarged weave is designed for vertical surfaces (decorative panels, false ceilings, headboards, screens, acoustic panels, etc...), decorative accessories, such as cushions or also in the leatherwork sector for making bags.

Recommendations for upholstery

Recommendations for upholstery of fabrics of Polyolefin material (Polypropylene).

With the experience of more than 25 years manufacturing textiles of Polyolefin material (Polypropylene), Exit Fabrics recommends to our customers to reinforce the seams with a double overlock and with an additional support. Another possibility that would provide the upholstery a superior finish and greater durability would be to put foam or a stabilizing mesh (see finishes). Due its “intrinsic” characteristics being a plastic material, this textile could be opened by sliding seams, these are the same characteristics that give it a magnificent durability and a better aging than other synthetic fibers.

Recommendations of use and maintenance

Maximum washng temperature 30ºCAny bleach allowedDo not ironDry cleaning

Polyolefin articles could be used for outdoor use in their light colour ranges (beige and grey) since the colour variation would not be noticeable. This is because polyolefin fiber is produced by extrusion (mass dyeing), so they have better light fastness that any other conventional fiber made from yarn dyed o dyed in piece. However, red, blue and green colours should be avoided, as the colour variation varies depending on the shade (not all colours have the same intensity). Consult with factory. 

Vacuum clean frequently. For stains, use a damp cloth with a neutral soap suitable for cleaning upholstery products.

Colour matching

Variations can occur from batch to batch.

We reserve the right to modify the technical specifications without prior notice. Any color outside the letter can be manufactured under minimal quantities.
