Incontience Upholstery
FLUID-RESISTANT UPHOLSTERY
What Is Fluid-Resistant Upholstery?
Fluid-resistant upholstery is designed for environments where spills, moisture, or incontinence are a concern. These upholstery options commonly include vinyl, polyurethane (PU), polypropylene, or specialized fluid-resistant fabrics constructed with a moisture-resistant barrier or backing. Unlike standard performance fabrics, these materials are selected to provide a higher level of protection against fluid penetration while supporting easier cleaning and maintenance. Levels of fluid resistance can vary by material and construction, so product specifications should always be considered when selecting furniture for a particular environment.
BEST USED FOR
