New High-Performance Textiles by Brentano

March 1, 2013 - PRLog -- True to their motto, all Brentano fabrics strive to strike the perfect balance of beauty + performance, and with their spring 2013 Symphonic collection, Brentano introduces high-performance textiles that are suitable for contract, healthcare, and institutional environments that also offer dynamic patterns, fresh colors, and a residential hand.

Woven from 100% high energy-dyed polyester, Polka is a small-scale, geometric pattern that is well-priced, bleach cleanable, and has both a Nano-Tex and DuraBlock finish. This 54” upholstery comes in 8 energetic colors and will add liveliness to contract areas or high-traffic residential applications. Passes 50,000 double rubs (Wyzenbeek).

Like the conductor in an orchestra, Maestro gets the job done no matter how high the stakes. This 100% polyester chenille comes in 9 practical colors and has a Teflon finish while maintaining a soft hand. Light bounces off the matte texture to create a 3D, suede-like effect, but for an exceptional price. Maestro measures 56” and has an outstanding wearability of over 75,000 double rubs (Wyzenbeek). Teflon finish increases stain resistance.
