Alberti FR Flame-Retardant Upholstery Fabric

Description

Alberti FR sits between a plain Uni and a Dessin with a visible motif — a fabric for projects that want texture without conversation. The 0.8 × 3.5 cm weave pattern is small enough to read as a textile, not a print, but big enough to catch light gracefully across a long sofa or a long bench seat. Inherent FR is built into every yarn of the 100% polyester structure, so the protection does not wash out, fade or wear off over years of contract use.

The certification stack is the real story: EN 1021-1/2, IMO Part 8, C&M and the British BS 5852 CRIB 5 — the severe contract benchmark required by UK public buildings, hotels and international projects with British compliance language. Technically the cloth weighs around 460 g/m² on a 140 cm bolt, with pilling 4-5, rub fastness 4-5 and 50,000 Martindale rubs (Class SC). Light fastness 5-6 keeps colours stable in bright lobbies and meeting rooms.
