Questions about this category

What kind of fabric is Rouge?

ROUGE is an upholstery fabric made of 100% polyester (PES), weighing 530 g per running metre and 145 cm wide. It achieves 50,000 cycles in the Martindale test and is available in 18 colours.

Is ROUGE fabric suitable for everyday use?

Yes, ROUGE achieves 50,000 cycles in the Martindale test, which corresponds to heavy domestic use. It works well on sofas, corner sofas and armchairs used every day, and its pilling rating of 4–5 helps it keep a neat look.

Is ROUGE fabric soft to the touch?

The specification does not describe the softness of ROUGE, so the feel is best judged from a sample. A weight of 530 g per running metre indicates a substantial, solid upholstery fabric.

Is ROUGE easy to clean?

ROUGE needs standard upholstery care: regular vacuuming with a soft brush and blotting stains quickly. The specification does not mention a special easy-clean finish, so marks are best removed with a mild soap solution.

Is ROUGE fabric water-repellent?

No – the ROUGE specification does not list water-repellent properties. Spilled liquids should be blotted straight away with an absorbent cloth before they soak into the fibres.

Is ROUGE suitable for a home with children?

ROUGE works well in everyday family life thanks to abrasion resistance of 50,000 Martindale cycles and a pilling rating of 4–5. As the fabric has no declared water-repellent properties, stains are best removed promptly.

Is ROUGE fabric suitable for pet owners?

The ROUGE specification does not describe the fabric as pet-friendly. Abrasion resistance of 50,000 cycles copes well with everyday use, but with sharp-clawed pets it is worth checking a sample first and vacuuming pet hair regularly.

Does ROUGE fabric bobble or pill?

ROUGE has a pilling rating of 4–5 on a 1–5 scale, meaning a low tendency to bobble in normal use. As a result, the material keeps its neat appearance for longer.
