Moisture Barrier Performance Fabrics: Introducing FibreGuard Pro Contract Upholstery Fabrics

We're proud to introduce our newest range of high-performance fabrics to the contract fabric market today.

FibreGuard Pro contract fabrics are anti-moisture, mildew and odour resistant, and anti-microbial, while maintaining the stunning softness and easy-clean properties our performance fabrics are known for.

And yes, this contract upholstery fabric range is one of our most visually attractive collections yet!

Stopping the Spread of Germs with High-Performance Contract Upholstery Fabrics

The specialized properties of our FibreGuard Pro performance fabrics ensure that liquid or moisture cannot penetrate through the fabric barrier.

This moisture-resistant technology means that unwanted elements like mildew and unpleasant odours caused by accidental spills cannot attach to the yarn or the upholstery foam inside your furniture.

Additionally, the anti-microbial solution applied during our contract fabric production and finishing processes provides an extra level of protection against germs and bacteria for everyone who comes in contact with the fabric.

This makes FibreGuard Pro contract upholstery fabrics ideal for commercial environments such as:

• Hospital receptions and healthcare facilities
• Care homes and assisted living centers
• Hotels, restaurants, and hospitality settings
• High-traffic residential spaces

Fully Breathable, Human-Friendly Performance Fabrics

Unlike many moisture barrier fabrics that tend to be rigid and rough, FibreGuard Pro contract fabrics are fully breathable with a soft touch: perfect for upholstery and accessory applications in both commercial and residential settings.

FibreGuard Pro goes the extra mile to ensure the anti-moisture membrane is both flexible and breathable while maintaining its protective properties.

Performance Fabrics Built for Commercial Durability

These contract upholstery fabrics aren't just moisture-resistant—they're engineered to maintain their strength and freshness through extensive use.

We've ensured this by providing only highly durable performance fabrics that excel in rigorous commercial textile testing:

• Exceptional Martindale and Wyzenbeek abrasion test results, making them ideal for high-traffic contract environments
• Optimal performance against pilling and brush pilling (ISO 12945-2, ASTM D 3511)
• Robust yarns and constructions ensure excellent performance in seam slippage testing (ISO 13936-2)
• Quality dye-stuffs mean our contract fabrics are colourfast to light and resistant to fading (ISO 105-B02)

FibreGuard fabrics undergo extensive testing in independent laboratories for one reason: we care about what you need from your textiles. Stain resistant contract fabrics fit for the healthcare industry

How FibreGuard Pro Contract Fabrics Achieve Moisture and Mildew Resistance

We apply a lightweight, breathable membrane to the back of our performance fabrics that prevents liquid penetration while still allowing air circulation—a critical feature for contract upholstery fabrics in commercial settings.

The Anti-Microbial Technology in Our Performance Fabrics

During the production of FibreGuard Pro contract fabrics, a specialised anti-microbial finish is applied using our proprietary process.

This finish protects the fabrics from bacterial growth and other micro-organisms, providing an essential layer of protection for both the fabrics and their users—particularly important in healthcare and hospitality environments.

The anti-microbial treatment also enhances the durability of these performance fabrics, extending their lifespan while maintaining their appearance. Furthermore, this special finish helps preserve the fabric's colour integrity throughout its service life.

PFAs-Free and Eco-Conscious Contract Fabrics

We remain committed to our responsibility to develop better products and product lifecycles in the contract fabric industry.

Like all other FibreGuard performance fabrics, the FibreGuard Pro range is:

Performance Fabrics That Combine Function and Feel

The true innovation of our FibreGuard Pro contract fabric range isn't simply its anti-moisture properties.

What sets these performance fabrics apart is their comprehensive protection: moisture-resistant, odour-resistant, mildew-resistant, and anti-microbial, while remaining PFAs-free and wonderfully soft to touch.

Maintaining fabric softness and inviting texture in high-traffic commercial spaces through multiple cleanings is a significant challenge in the contract fabric industry. We've solved this problem because creating superior performance fabrics is our specialty.

Unmistakable luxury, undeniable durability: these are FibreGuard Pro contract upholstery fabrics.
