Most Durable Fabric at Cape Cod Upholstery Shop

February 1, 2010

Viva, from JF Fabrics, is by far the most durable fabric I carry at Cape Cod Upholstery Shop. Viva is classified as a high performance velour, is naturally flame retardant and Eco Friendly. Fabrics go through an abrasion test. An average upholstery fabric may pass 30,000 double rubs on the Wyzenbeek method of testing. Viva passes 201,000 double rubs. That makes it almost indestructible. It’s also highly fade resistant, washable, suitable for slipcovers, upholstery and Viva comes in 53 beautiful solid colors.

From an upholsterers standpoint, I really like working with Viva. It sews well, the seams are tight and you can pull it around just about any curve. Viva has a short nap and is very hard to leave any kind of mark on it.
