Recommendations for use

The Martindale value indicates the fabric’s resistance to abrasion and determines its suitable use:

• 0 to 20,000 rubs → Decorative use only (curtains, wall panels, accent cushions)
• 20,000 to 40,000 rubs → Standard domestic use (chairs, moderately used seating)
• 40,000 to 100,000 rubs → Heavy use (family sofas, hotel furniture)
• Over 100,000 rubs → Very intensive professional use (public spaces, offices, commercial seating, ERP)

For demanding projects (public venues, hospitality, commercial use), always check fire-retardant classifications and relevant technical standards.
