MOGADOR

The results of a test martindale They show how much wear and tear a fabric will have before there is a noticeable change in appearance. The higher the score, the more durable the fabric.

A score of less than 10.000 (decorative use)

A fabric with this score is suitable as a decorative fabric. For example, for cushions o lampshades. Not suitable for upholstery.

10.000 to 20.000 (light domestic use)

This score is suitable for auxiliary furniture for occasional use.

From 20.000 to 40.000 (average domestic use)

A fabric with 20.000 to 40.000 cycles is suitable for the daily use, for example in chairs, poufs or armchairs. We do not see it as suitable for furniture that exerts a high level of tension on the fabric, subjected to intensive use, such as an armchair or sofa.

40.000 to 60.000 (heavy domestic use – light commercial)

A rating of 40.000 cycles or more can be used for upholstery any furniture, especially armchairs or sofas. These fabrics are also appropriate for public use or a commercial environment.

Emphasize the following idea: in the domestic sphere we do not recommend upholstering an armchair or sofa with fabrics below this score of 40.000 cycles.

More than 60.000 (intense commercial)

Fabrics that offer maximum resistance for places with very demanding traffic, such as bars or restaurants.
