Waterproof & Stain Resistant Fabrics

Interior design fabrics need to look fabulous and as good as new even when they are used in high traffic and challenging environments, that is why Panaz offer an extensive range of fabrics that are stain resistant and waterproof – all rigorously tested and fully FR

Sectors such as hospitality, marine, and healthcare manage challenging spaces that feature high volumes of traffic, accidental spillages, and can have compromised cleaning regimes

Having operated in these sectors for over 40 years, we understand how hard our fabric needs to work and with no compromise on safety (FR) and design. We build in longevity to our fabrics by innovating and testing our products to the extreme, read on to hear more.

Waterproof fabrics

Panaz rigorously tests all their waterproof fabrics, using what is known as the hydrostatic head test, which is the same test method used on waterproof jackets, which involves directing water at pressure onto the fabric. All Panaz waterproof fabric is tested this way (not all fabric manufacturers do this).

How does it work – waterproof fabrics consist of a waterproof membrane that protects the material itself from becoming wet or stained by all liquid, including bodily fluids and perhaps more importantly also protects the fire retardant layer. This not only ensures safety, but also prevents it from being saturated by bacteria.

All of Panaz’ vinyls and fauxs are waterproof (and stain resistant), and we even offer a range of waterproof woven upholstery fabrics and velvets.

Stain resistant fabrics

Panaz’ stain repellent layer protects the cloth from spillages, giving ample time to remove potential staining substances before they can impregnate the cloth. This enhanced level of protection also means that our material is extremely easy to clean.

All our vinyls and faux leathers are stain resistant, most of our wovens are, and we even have some velvet collections with stain resistance.

These technologies can be combined with other performance characteristics, such as our anti-microbial solution Shieldplus.
