Performance:
- Fire Retardant: IFR Back Wool is naturally fire resistant, which means that its fire-resistant qualities are present from the start and do not deteriorate with time. It is acceptable for use in settings where fire safety is a concern, such as theatres, event venues, and public areas since it complies with or surpasses fire safety regulations.
- Thermal Insulation: IFR Back Wool has exceptional thermal insulation thanks to its heavyweight composition. Holding heat during colder months and offering insulation against heat during hot months aids in temperature regulation and promotes energy efficiency.
- Acoustic Performance: IFR Back Wool’s acoustic performance is influenced by how dense and thick it is. Effective sound wave absorption lowers echo and reverberation in a room. This makes it perfect for settings like theatres, recording studios, and conference rooms where sound control and noise reduction are sought.
- Durability: 565GSM IFR Back Wool is made to withstand constant handling and intensive use. It is suitable for situations where lifespan is vital because of its reputation for toughness and wear resistance.
- Light Blocking: IFR Back Wool offers outstanding light-blocking characteristics. When utilised as curtains or window coverings in theatres, cinemas, or other light-sensitive spaces, it efficiently blocks out undesired light, generating gloom or lowering glare.
- Aesthetic Appeal: IFR Back Wool has a sumptuous appearance and a delicate, tactile feel that appeals to the eye. Its availability in a range of hues and textures opens up a wide range of design possibilities. Its luxurious texture gives any environment an air of sophistication and elegance.
Maintenance and Care:
Care Label 4 Woolen fabrics must be protected against sunlight with lining and/or other shading device. Remove hooks, rings and trims before cleaning. Regularly vacuum with appropriate attachment. Do not wash. Dry clean only . Reduce load and tumble dry at 55˚C. Cool iron may be used. Possible shrinkage 3%.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment to regularly remove dust and other debris from the fabric. This keeps the fabric clean and reduces the buildup of debris.
- Spot cleaning: Take care of spills and stains right away to lessen their effects. Apply a clean, wet towel or sponge to the affected area and gently blot it. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing to prevent the spreading of the stain or fabric damage. Use a mild detergent designed especially for wool and follow the manufacturer’s instructions if necessary.
- Dry Cleaning: Dry cleaning is advised in order to preserve the quality and performance of 565GSM IFR Back Wool fabric. Consult a qualified dry cleaner with experience cleaning wool materials, and let them know about the fabric’s built-in fire resistance.
- Sunlight Protection: Keep the fabric out of the sun for as long as possible to prevent fading and damage. To reduce the exposure of the cloth to damaging UV rays, use UV-blocking treatments or install window coverings.
- Storage and Handling: To prevent snagging or tearing while handling the fabric, steer clear of sharp objects and uneven surfaces. To stop deterioration, store the fabric in a spotless, dry location away from harsh lighting and temperatures. To prevent creasing, roll the fabric instead of folding it.
