Romo upholstery and drapery samples prepared for specification review
Interior textile procurement

Romo Fabrics Selected for the Space, Surface and Care Plan

Move from color and handfeel to fiber content, weave, GSM, usable width, repeat, abrasion context, cleaning route and sample stage without losing the interior design intent.

The matrix narrows a broad palette to samples worth testing. Final suitability remains tied to the selected construction, color, finish, backing and assembly.

Common selection questions

Separate appearance approval from use evidence

Does a higher abrasion cycle count guarantee longer service?

No. Method, specimen, seam design, soiling, cleaning, pilling and the actual contact pattern also affect service behavior.

Can one shade sample approve a production lot?

Only when the approval record defines the reference, light source and tolerance. Production lots still require shade and construction review.

Is the face textile report enough for a backed panel?

No. Backing, adhesive, foam, thread and assembly can change stiffness, flame response, acoustics or durability and need applicable system evidence.

When should cleaning compatibility be tested?

Before bulk approval, using the selected color, finish, agent, concentration, dwell time and repetition expected in the project.
