Customers Own Fabric

Customers Own Fabric

We are pleased to accommodate the use of a customer’s chosen fabric for upholstery, provided it is suitable for the purpose and adheres to specific British Standards. To determine the suitability of the proposed fabric, please follow the process outlined below:

What we require from you:

What we require from you:

A sample of the proposed fabric measuring at least 150mm x 150mm, sent to our Customer Services team.

Confirmation of the fabric pattern repeat length. This information will help us calculate the total amount of fabric needed for the project.

A valid Fire Test Certificate* for the fabric, and compliance with the Martindale rub test for General Domestic fabrics (minimum 18,000 rubs).

Where a fabric is made up of at least 75% by weight of cotton, flax, viscose, modal, silk, or wool (either individually or in combination), and does not have a polyurethane coating or polyurethane-based treatment, it may be supplied in a non-match-resistant form. This is only acceptable where the furniture includes, or is intended to include, a fire-resistant interliner (fire barrier) that complies with the requirements set out in Schedule 3 of the Regulations.

It should also be recognised that furniture using these cover fabrics must still successfully meet the relevant cigarette composite test requirements.

The use of a Schedule 3 compliant interliner (fire barrier) is limited specifically to fabrics containing a minimum of 75% by weight of cotton, flax, viscose, modal, silk, or wool (used alone or in combination), provided they are not coated with polyurethane or a polyurethane preparation.

An interliner meeting Schedule 3 requirements cannot be relied upon as a route to compliance for fabrics that fail cigarette and match testing requirements, such as fabrics with a high synthetic fibre content or those made entirely from polyester.

A copy of the furniture order from the retailer.

Once we receive the fabric, Decur will complete the upholstery work within 30 days.

Please note:

Any excess or unused fabric will be returned with the finished goods.

We do not provide a guarantee on the customer-supplied fabric.

Although we typically charge an additional 10% on top of the standard Recommended Retail Price (RRP) for using a Customer’s Own Material, this fee has currently been waived.

The standard RRP for Grade A fabric will apply when using Customer’s Own Material for upholstery.

Customers are responsible for supplying and delivering the fabric to one of our workshops.

Important:

The fabric must meet the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988, amended in 1989 and 1993 (FFFSR).
