Bouclé Fabrics for Contract Upholstery
Bouclé fabrics remain a popular choice for high-end hospitality interiors, offering texture, warmth, and a contemporary aesthetic.
When specifying bouclé for commercial use, key considerations include:
Durability
We recommend high Martindale-rated fabrics to ensure long-term performance in busy environments.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Stain-resistant finishes and easy-clean properties are essential for hospitality settings.
Fire Safety
All our bouclé fabrics are available in Crib 5, meeting strict UK fire regulations for contract use.
Crib 5 (BS 5852:2006 Source 5) ensures fabrics resist ignition and self-extinguish, making them suitable for hotels, offices, and public spaces.
