About our Fabrics
Vårt erfarna team av inköpare och designers har i flera år skapat en rad tyger som kommer att fungera perfekt med vår kollektion av fåtöljer och stolar. Vi uppdaterar ständigt vår kollektion av klädsel för att vara en av de bästa på marknaden. Conform har runt 40-50 olika tyger att välja mellan och i varje tygfamilj finns det 4-7 olika färger. Detta ger våra kunder ett brett utbud att välja mellan.
Vårt mål är att sätta hållbarhet i främsta rummet i våra utvecklingsprocesser och komponera kollektioner som minskar påverkan på miljön utan att kompromissa med kvalitet eller design. Varje år siktar vi på att utöka utbudet av hållbara alternativ i vår kollektion.
Pricing
We always strive to find the best fabrics at a reasonable price. Our fabrics are divided into three different price groups, A, B and C. A is the most affordable price group and C the most expensive. The groups are based on price only, which means that fabrics in category A are as good as fabrics in category C, but within fabric groups B and C you can find extra values in qualities such as efficiency and easy care.
Martindale
Martindale is a test made to verify the durability of the yarns in the fabric. The selected fabric is covered on a small disc and then pressed with a certain weight against another type of standard fabric. These two are rubbed against each other until there are two threads broken or a clearly visible change in the fabric being tested. When the change occurs, the Martindale machine gives a value of how many rubs it took before the test stopped. To qualify as an upholstery fabric, you must reach 15,000 rubs.
Light test
In the lightfastness test, the selected fabric is placed in a machine that is set to expose the fabric to a certain type of light for a certain amount of time. The fabric is then evaluated against a blue scale of fabrics that have been exposed at the same time as your fabric. The blue scale comes out with 8 different looks where number one has been bleached and number 8 has not changed at all. With upholstery fabrics for indoor use, the values are usually from 4-6. The best values, 7 and 8 are almost only set for fabrics used for outdoor use.
Test methods
We specify three different values on all our hangers so that the customer can find the best fit. Martindale, pilling and light fastness tests are done according to an international standard.
Att känna till de olika metoderna nedan gör det lättare att välja det bästa tyget för en viss kund. Är fåtöljen eller stolen till exempel tänkt att placeras bredvid stora fönster är det bra att ta en extra titt på ljusäktheten. Om fåtöljen är avsedd för en stor familj med barn och husdjur bör du ta en extra koll på pilling och Martindale värden. Hår och yttre fibrer orsakar ofta pålar.
Pilling
The pilling test is done almost like the Martindale test, the difference is that the selected fabric is rubbed against itself and not against another standard fabric. The machine is then set to rub either 3000 or 5000 rubs before stopping. When the machine stops, the fabric is evaluated by a person in the lab and compared to standard images to evaluate how much pilling there is. The scale goes from 1-5, where 1 is very much pilling and 5 means no change when the test is done.
