Material overview
Most requested furniture applications
Specify abrasion, cleaning method, flame performance, lightfastness, colourfastness, pilling, width and repeat according to the exact furniture location. “Contract grade” alone is not a complete specification.
Material-specific authority schedule
Ten controls owned by this exact material—not inherited category rows. Final values are confirmed from supplier data, the project sample and shop drawings.
- Declared project reference
- Ivory Bouclé Upholstery: 72% polyester, 28% cotton; textured loop weave
- Exact material identity
- Ivory looped bouclé reference; fibre blend, loop scale, weight, backing and contract results are supplier-dependent.
- Technical system definition
- A pale loop-pile bouclé whose three-dimensional yarn surface creates tactile depth but raises snagging, pilling, soil visibility and seam-bulk risks.
- Selection differentiator
- High tactile depth and forgiving visual texture for lounge furniture, with snag and soil risk concentrated in the loops.
- Critical approval decision
- Prioritise snag/pilling and cleanability testing for the exact ivory colour; a high abrasion result does not resolve loop damage or visible soil.
- Non-equivalent substitute
- Flat weave, chenille and bouclé with different loop height/density do not share snag, seam or cleaning behaviour.
- Fabrication focus
- Use stable backing, generous radii and tested seam placement; keep hooks and sharp hardware away from the face.
- GCC exposure limit
- Light ivory shows airborne dust and transfer quickly in lobby and coastal-entry locations.
- Material-specific care rule
- Vacuum loops without aggressive brushing and pre-test extraction to prevent matting or backing distortion.
- Reject the delivery when
- Reject pulled loops, visible ground, seam opening, matting, dirty edge shadow or shade shift.

02 · System anatomy
The material is not a single surface.
A pale loop-pile bouclé whose three-dimensional yarn surface creates tactile depth but raises snagging, pilling, soil visibility and seam-bulk risks.
01Wear face
Layer function
The visible fibre, pile or polymer film that receives abrasion, light, spills and cleaning.
How to verify
Declare fibre/polymer identity, colour, surface finish and exact tested article.
02Ground construction
Layer function
Woven, knitted or coated construction controls stretch, seam behaviour, drape and appearance retention.
How to verify
Record weave/knit/coating route, usable width, repeat and directional use.
03Backing / treatment
Layer function
Backing, FR treatment, stain finish or interliner can materially change hand, adhesion and fire behaviour.
How to verify
Approve the same backing and treatment represented in current test evidence.
04Upholstery composite
Layer function
Foam, interliner, adhesive, thread, seam and frame complete the performance system.
How to verify
Test and prototype the proposed cover/filling composite, not the loose textile alone.
03 · Decision gates
Reference benchmarks and the project rule.

GCC exposure matrix and maintenance plan.
Material-specific climate warning
Light ivory shows airborne dust and transfer quickly in lobby and coastal-entry locations.
01Air-conditioned guestroom
Preferred- Material response
- Generally stable, but window light and luggage abrasion remain local risks.
- Design control
- Select by item duty; protect window-adjacent colours and high-contact edges.
02High-turnover lobby
Conditional- Material response
- Appearance change, pilling, seam load and cleaning frequency dominate.
- Design control
- Use contract evidence plus full-size first-off and replaceable detailing.
03Food & beverage
Conditional- Material response
- Oils, coloured liquids and repeated chemical cleaning challenge the whole composite.
- Design control
- Approve stain/chemical trials and inaccessible-seam hygiene details.
04Direct sun / atrium
Conditional- Material response
- Colour and polymer ageing accelerate; dark shades may heat strongly.
- Design control
- Require exact-colour light evidence and shade strategy.
05Pool / wet clothing
Avoid- Material response
- Moisture, chlorine, sunscreen and slow drying create staining and microbial risk.
- Design control
- Use an approved outdoor composite with drainage, ventilation and cleanable seams.
06Coastal exterior
Avoid- Material response
- UV, salt, humidity, windborne soil and wet foam act simultaneously.
- Design control
- Only purpose-designed exterior fabric, thread, foam, drainage and hardware qualify.

Project notes
From sample to production.
01
What to specify
Specify abrasion, cleaning method, flame performance, lightfastness, colourfastness, pilling, width and repeat according to the exact furniture location. “Contract grade” alone is not a complete specification.
02
Fabrication & detailing
Confirm repeat, direction, seam placement, FR interliner and foam compatibility before cutting. High-contact furniture should use replaceable covers or serviceable upholstery details where practical.
03
Colour & finish approval
Colour, texture, pile direction and dye-lot variation are approved from a current cutting. Pattern alignment and railroad suitability are checked against the furniture drawing.
04
Care & maintenance
Vacuum gently and blot spills immediately. Use only the cleaning method approved for the selected fibre and finish; test any agent on a concealed sample first.
Specification note
This page is a preliminary specification guide. No value, brand reference or material name constitutes automatic compliance. Current product data, test reports, physical sample or slab and the furniture construction must be approved for each project before ordering or manufacture.
