FAQ
What Is Performance Vinyl Fabric?
Performance Vinyl Fabric is a premium heavy-duty upholstery material designed for projects that require durability, flexibility, and easy maintenance. It features a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) face with a distressed woven-look print and a soft brushed polyester backing for added comfort and stability. Measuring 54/55 inches wide, this fabric is approximately 0.85 millimeters thick, weighs 580 GSM (about 26 ounces per linear yard), and offers approximately 5% vertical stretch from selvedge to selvedge. Performance Vinyl is commonly used for residential, commercial, automotive, and marine upholstery applications.
How To Clean Performance Vinyl Fabric?
To clean Performance Vinyl Fabric, wipe the surface with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with warm water and mild soap. For tougher dirt or stains, gently scrub using a non-abrasive cloth before wiping away any soap residue with clean water. Dry the fabric with a soft towel or allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these may damage the PVC surface or printed finish.
What Is Performance Vinyl Fabric Made Of?
Performance Vinyl Fabric is made with a durable Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) face bonded to a soft brushed polyester backing. The PVC surface provides excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, and everyday wear while featuring a distressed woven-look print for the appearance of textured upholstery. The brushed polyester backing adds comfort, stability, and helps protect underlying surfaces while allowing the fabric to stretch approximately 5% vertically for easier installation on curved surfaces.
How To Sew Performance Vinyl Fabric?
To sew Performance Vinyl Fabric, use a heavy-duty sewing machine fitted with a size 16/100 or 18/110 leather or denim needle and a strong polyester thread. A walking foot or Teflon presser foot helps the vinyl feed smoothly through the machine and prevents sticking. Use clips instead of pins whenever possible to avoid leaving permanent holes in the material. Sew with a slightly longer stitch length of about 3–4 mm, and avoid repeatedly stitching over the same seam, as needle holes in vinyl are permanent. Test your machine settings on a fabric scrap before beginning your project for the best results.
