Lapis FR Flame-Retardant Upholstery Fabric
Lapis FR is a quietly clever piece of engineering — a soft chenille-hand FR Uni in 100% polyester at just 220 g/m² (light, almost curtain-weight) that still delivers 100,000 Martindale rubs at Class SC. That combination is rare: most heavy-Martindale FR cloths are dense and heavy (560-640 g/m²), which makes them harder to upholster on complex curved frames and shaped chair backs. Lapis FR sidesteps that — heavy-contract durability in a lightweight, sewable cloth. Pilling 4-5, rub fastness 4-5, light fastness 5. EN 1021, IMO Part 8 and C&M certified. 24 colours, 72 €/m.
Description
Lapis FR answers a real specifying problem. A typical heavy-contract FR upholstery cloth weighs 560-640 g/m² — that mass is part of what allows it to last through hundreds of thousands of sit-cycles. But mass is also the reason such cloths are hard to upholster on tightly-curved frames, intricate shapes or slipcovers: a heavy cloth fights the cut and the seams. Lapis FR delivers the same heavy-contract Martindale rating — 100,000 rubs at Class SC — in a 220 g/m² cloth. That is roughly the weight of a heavier curtain or a midweight bed-linen, which makes it dramatically easier to sew on shaped chair backs and complex upholstery frames.
The trick is in the chenille construction: the surface yarns are dense and soft, the underlying structure is engineered for resilience. 100% polyester with inherent flame retardancy on EN 1021, IMO Part 8 and C&M. Pilling 4-5, dry/wet rub fastness 4-5, light fastness 5, shrinkage 1%. 24 colours edited as a coherent contract palette. Lapis FR is a useful spec for projects with a lot of curved or shaped seating where a heavier FR fabric would slow the workroom down.
