TUSCALOOSA, AL - Phifer Inc, a global manufacturer of sun control fabrics, indoor/outdoor performance fabrics, insect screening and engineered meshes and textiles, returns to the 2015 IFAI Specialty Fabrics Expo. Visit Booth #1480 for more information on the following products:
Designed Fabrics – Phifer’s vast line of indoor/outdoor, high-end performance cushion and sling fabrics, including the newest stock line additions, will also be on display. Phifer’s Designed Fabrics, a sprawling collection comprised of sleek Phifertex® sling and cozy GeoBella® cushion fabrics bursting with color, comfort and style. As durable as they are chic, this performance fabric collection serves up function and brawn 24/7 to withstand endless abuse. Phifer’s Designed Fabrics are also stain resistant, moisture-wicking and easy to clean, even with bleach, the perfect line of defense against inevitable coffee and soda spills in high traffic areas.
Breathe a little easier knowing there’s an extra layer of cleanliness protection at work – Phifertex fabrics are infused with Microban® antimicrobial product protection. On unprotected fabrics, microbes can double in number every 20 minutes! Built into the fabric during the manufacturing process, Microban provides lasting protection that won’t wash off or wear away for the lifetime of the fabric and works continuously, keeping fabrics fresher and cleaner for longer. Phifer is the only furniture fabric manufacturer with unique Microban product protection.
GeoBella – beautiful, earth-friendly fabrics – is Phifer’s unique line of high-end, performance cushion fabrics made from recycled yarns. Touchably soft, these 100 percent recyclable furniture fabrics mirror the comfort of indoor furniture yet have the stability, strength and durability needed for high traffic applications.
New SheerWeave® Styles 4901/4903 – Uniquely combining color and weave, Phifer introduces versatile new shade fabrics in SheerWeave Styles 4901 and 4903. These new fabrics feature a thin, lightweight polyester twill weave with a unique, coordinating reversible face, offering flexibility and an extra touch of style to interior spaces. The beautiful twill weave creates two fabrics in one as distinct yet complementary colors are exposed on the face and back.
The new collection is available in 13 neutral tones featuring openness factors of 1 percent (Style 4901) and 3 percent (Style 4903) in 63- and 98- inch widths. As with other SheerWeave fabrics, Styles 4901 and 4903 are GREENGUARD® Gold certified, include Microban® antimicrobial product protection and meet all of the specification requirements for the demanding commercial market.
SunTex® 95 – Phifer introduces SunTex 95, designed specifically for exterior roller shade applications. A vinyl-coated polyester fabric, SunTex 95 is thinner and lighter weight than traditional SunTex fabrics and is a full basketweave. With a 5 percent openness factor, SunTex 95 offers increased heat and glare control, stopping approximately 95 percent of the sun’s hot rays for a cooler, more comfortable outdoor environment.
By reducing the sun’s penetration to interior rooms, these shades can lower cooling demand, leading to less energy consumption. SunTex 95 fabrics are infused with Microban antimicrobial product protection for an added level of defense against microbes such as mold and mildew that can damage the shades.
Phifer will be at Booth # 1480 at the IFA Expo in Anaheim, Calif.
