Textile wallcoverings are wallcoverings that use woven fibers attached to backing materials. They provide durable, stable, classic and elegant wallcoverings. Some of these are manufactured fibers and some are natural fibers. Natural fiber wallcoverings can have irregularities in texture and color which add to the classic feel. Natural fibers are Teflon treated and have excellent color fastness.
Polyester is currently the most popular fiber used in the production of panel fabrics.
The flame-resistant properties are inherent and cannot be removed from the fiber. Acrylic Acrylic is also a manufactured fiber which features low moisture absorbency. Acrylic is typically less expensive than polyester and is sometimes blended with polyester in the construction of panel fabrics. Acrylic has relatively poor flame resistance when compared to other fibers. Olefin also has relatively poor flame resistance when compared to other fibers.
