The most luxurious of performance upholstery fabrics are polyurethane constructions, which are becoming increasingly popular for many contract applications in office seating, hospitality, and healthcare environments. These durable soft-hand constructions incorporate knit backings to provide a two-way stretch, soft hand luxurious feel, and an elegant drape that designers love. They are comfortable, and offer excellent tailorability, making them a friendly fabric with which to work. Outstanding abrasion resistance makes polyurethanes the perfect choice for the most exacting applications. Polyurethanes and semi-polyurethanes provide the most realistic faux leathers with respect to hand, feel and look, and lend themselves to a wide range of decorative finishes.
