A fine weave 80 denier brushed textile with a soft feel, laminated (crudely speaking, glued) to a 5mm thick foam layer. We use this for our piano covers, car wing covers and removable car hardtop bags.
The brushed nylon provides a soft face against the object to be covered (think of furniture) and the foam provides resistance to knocks.
We sew a plain nylon to the foam face to provide a superb finished article. Sometimes we are asked for a piano cover for use in a conservatory (that UV again !), so we recommend our aluminised polyester textile instead. Could be faced with other materials, or simply used alone.
Available off the roll in a width of 5 feet/1.5 metre. Minimum 1 foot/300mm.

| DEFINITION OF TERMS (click to show/hide definitions) |
|
Denier (or D) can be roughly defined as the diameter (thickness) of the thread used to weave the textile, and this approximation is acceptable for everyday use. A textile can be defined as a fabric or cloth created by either weaving or knitting (also crocheting & felting) with a thread, fibre or yarn. Breathability is about water vapour evaporation, not breathing ! For a technical definition go to the BSI (British Standards Institute) website; our textiles comply with BS3424 (water vapour permeability). We also use two plastic materials, for which thickness is defined in microns. A micron is 1/1000th of a millimetre; for comparison, a human hair is about 100 microns. For true English we also show the approximate 1/1000th of an inch equivalent ! These plastics are 100% waterproof (ie completely impervious to water) and therefore not breathable. |
