Fabric Upholstery Qualities : Weave, Contents & Finish for Interiors
INTR –Admin Tex- ID Scanned
Prof. Hein Guide-FABRIC PROPERTIES
introduced to be used in every assignment.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR SELECTING TEXTILES
A) Aesthetics: Elements of Design, Design principles
B) Functional performance: Durability, Color Change
C) Health & safety: attraction to Micro-organisms (mold), pests(moths, beetles…)
Safety: Static Electricity, fire resistance
D) Economic Considerations: Costing, Cost effectiveness (life cycle),
Initial cost, Use life, final cost
E) Unconscious Needs Of Users
a- Environmental Considerations:
(Ex: wool in damp cold, climate: cottons or silks in dry, arid or hot climates )
b- Sensory Perception (WARM (red-yellow) or COOL (green, blue-violet colors),
c- Visual Perception, soft, clean, smooth

Expanded CONSIDERATIONS FOR SELECTING DURABLE
TEXTILES
B) Functional performance: Durability, Color Change B1) Durability Functional Performance major criteria for performance: Durability & maintenance is determined by: B2) Fabric Construction: fiber & yarn, yarn twist & staple length Ex. Plain weave (over, under, over, under, woven construction) Twill weave, diagonal slanted lines Ex. more expensive fabrics contain shorter staple silk & wool = less durable (ex. bonded backing for durability).

FABRIC QUALITIES
Fabric Design Characteristics Such As:
Texture,
Pattern,
Luster / Sheen,
Fabric Qualities that do not cause:
pilling & fuzzing,
static electricity & hand (feel)

1- COST- Economic Considerations 2- COSTING / ACTUAL COST is determined by: Accurate cost, fabrication & installation price, ancillary (secondary) materials, maintenance
3- LIFE CYCLE COSTING is determined by Initial cost factors that include a)Yardage requirements (ex.bar stools/ dining chairs) b) Durability –Wyzenbeek rub test, vs. animal use c) cost per yd. ($60-150) more expensive fabric usually shorter staple length=less durable d) length of use life e) final cost factors: installation, construction
