From Fiber to Finish: Testing, testing.

Many clients have strict guidelines they are asked to follow when selecting fabrics for projects. All of our fabrics are submitted to independent, certi?ed testing laboratories, where a barrage of tests are conducted on each and every pattern that we have developed. Throughout this extensive testing, our fabrics are subjected to the harshest of conditions, to achieve certi?ed results for abrasion resistance (Wyzenbeek, ASTM D4157), breaking and tear strength (ASTM D3597/ D5034, ASTM D2261), brush pill (ASTM D3511) and flammability (California Bulletin 117 Section E, NFPA 260/UFAC Class 1).The results of all of these tests are published in our literature and available upon request.

Both accelerated ultraviolet testing in the Arizona desert and actual use show that Perennials fabrics will stand up to sunlight for at least three years without fading. While Perennials fabrics look beautiful season after season, other pretenders can go pale in less than six weeks.

In addition to rigorous testing, inspections are important at Perennials. Each and every yard is subjected to no less than three inspections before the order leaves our dock. We take personal pride in caring about our product and our reputation.
