5 Reasons for Paying More for Premium Fabrics

Before our fabrics are released to the masses, they undergo rigorous testing to ensure their quality is up to par. Rather than swapping your fraying upholstery fabrics out every couple of years (and in effect, paying more than you intended), our premium quality fabrics are made to stand the test of time. The Labotex stamp of approval isn’t just another trivial thumbs-up – in fact, it is a certification issued to fabrics by a similarly named independent textile laboratory (this means there is a higher level of transparency as they aren’t obliged to produce or conceal results for any particular company). Fabrics with the Labotex symbol have undergone various stresses and test conditions to assess their durability. The fabrics must pass these tests by falling within acceptable levels of wear-and-tear in order to receive the certification.

Like many electronic machines where we often pay a premium to insure our goods with a warranty, purveyors of premium fabrics are often packaged with after-sales care services. Whereas curtains bought off the rack at suspiciously-reduced prices come with a “Non-exchangeable, non-returnable” clause, higher-end fabrics often come with the added benefits of trained sales staff ready to provide care tips and address concerns you may have about the purchase.
