Technical Fabrics

WHAT ARE TECHNICAL FABRICS?

Technical textiles are a category of textile fabrics with specific characteristics and properties. Features such as thermal insulation, antibacterial protection, fire resistance, and cut prevention are some of the qualities offered by these fabrics.

Technology plays a key role in classifying these textiles as specialized materials for highly specific functions. Technical fabrics are defined by both their engineered properties and the unique demands of end-users. They are used across diverse applications, including upholstery, home furnishings, and construction materials. The pursuit of highly durable materials and the development of innovative structural and weight combinations allow us to create fabrics with varying levels of protection.

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY TECHNICAL FABRICS?

Broadly speaking, technical textiles encompass all textile materials where functionality is equally or more important than aesthetics. The line between conventional and technical textiles is subtle and sometimes negligible. What truly defines a technical textile is the intentional development of a fabric to address a specific technical need—this is what distinguishes a manufacturer as a producer of technical textiles.

The level of technology applied to each fabric is one of the most critical factors in creating these materials. This is driven by the need for specialized equipment to achieve the highest possible quality standards.
