dear friends welcome to watchmojo.com to
answer all the questions that you may
have in regards to interior design and
fashion today I’m going to talk to you
about the differences that exist between
fabrics that are used for upholstery and
window treatments especially that has to
do with cost and dimensions we have
three examples here the first one is a
fabric used for upholstery one of the
reasons why this is use for upholstery
is the resistance and durability of the
fabric most fabric comes with samples in
most of the stores where you walk in
you’re not gonna find swatches or
samples to take with you this is where
the designer comes in the designer can
come into your home and pick colors
choose materials as well as fabrics the
designer can order the fabric in a
swatch will arrive to the designer or to
your home where we can check the light
on the fabric at the same time we can
have a lot of information about the
durability of the fabric in the back of
the card of the fabric
this car contains information as to the
rotations that were done on the fabric
and what this means is that a needle is
placed on the back of the fabric that
contains a round metal tip starts
rotating on the back of the fabric and
the moment that fabric snaps or breaks
that’s where the durability test ends
that information is registered in the
back of the card
when a test is done and the test results
or week that is registered in the back
of the fabric but when the test results
are really high and means that the
fabric is quite durable you can rest
assured the fabric is going to be
expensive keep in mind that emic last
years and years and years longer than
the fabric that would cost less money so
to invest money the moment that you’re
doing an upholstery job is important in
sometimes price as it is in this case
relates to the quality of the fabric
another thing we have to remember when
choosing fabrics is fabrics for window
treatments not all of them are made
equal some of them are 54 inches wide
usually the fabrics that contain shear
are made to be 108 inches wide and the
reason for this is due to the stitching
that happens onto the fabric is more
visible so we try to get fabrics that
are a lot wider
in this case we’re gonna see less of
this teaching but once again you have to
keep in mind most of these fabrics are
producing Europe and the cost can be
quite high in this case this fabric by
Pollock is a lot more expensive than
anything else that there is in the
market in this category is made of 98%
wool and silk so what happens materials
affect the cost as well as the design
but we also have to be honest once again
on this one a home where this has been
used for the window treatment is going
to be spectacular compared to a home
where you have used a shear that’s only
worth five dollars the other thing you
have to keep in mind are textiles that
are used for the design and clothing
industry this textile offer very little
durability and they’re usually just
seasonable items seasonal items or items
that you’re gonna only wear for about
three months or four months that is the
idea of creating a collection for the
season we don’t operate that way but
this is the way designs are created so
the durability on this fabric is very
little if you go to a store that sells
fabric for clothing and decide to use it
for interior design purposes you have to
be aware the durability is quite limited
and so you are at your own risk I hope
this information has helped you today as
is one of the questions that I get most
often in regards to fabrics remember
whenever you’re picking a fabric your
best choice is to go through a designer
but if you’re going to experiment on
your own try to acquire a swatch and the
most information possible thank you so
much for watching and I hope the
silligans
