Imported Jacquard Weaving Textiles

Upholstery and Durable Applications

Jacquard woven textiles are the material of choice for applications requiring enhanced abrasion resistance and structural rigidity:

• Traditional Mattress Ticking: Preferred for firm, non-flexing mattress types where the ticking acts as a structural component.
• Sofa and Decorative Upholstery: Provides the requisite thickness, tight weave, and pattern longevity needed for commercial and residential furniture.
• Box Spring Covers: Utilizing heavier weights to conceal the foundation while maintaining aesthetic continuity with the mattress.

The inherent firmness of the weave is particularly valued in high-traffic commercial environments where surface wear is a constant consideration.

Technical Specifications and Selection

Core Advantages of Woven Jacquard

• Intricate Pattern Fidelity: Capability to render complex, photorealistic, or classical motifs that cannot be achieved with simpler weaves or basic printing methods.
• Integral Design Longevity: Because the design is woven using different colored yarns, it resists fading and maintains pattern clarity over the product's lifespan.
• Structural Stability: High warp and weft density provides a taut, rigid surface, contributing to the perceived firmness and durability of the finished product.
• Premium Tactile Feel: The construction results in a fabric with significant body and a textured surface that signals quality and craftsmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: How is a Jacquard pattern customized, and what is the typical lead time for a new design?
• A: New patterns require design translation into punch cards or digital loom files. Sampling typically takes 4 to 6 weeks after design approval, depending on the complexity of the motif and yarn availability.

• Q: What is the benefit of a high-density Jacquard weave for a mattress?
• A: A higher thread density provides a firmer surface, minimizes shifting of the underlying comfort layers, and significantly increases the fabric's resistance to tearing and piercing damage.

• Q: Can woven Jacquard fabrics be treated for flame resistance (FR)?
• A: Yes. We can incorporate inherent FR yarns (such as certain polyester variants) or apply topical chemical treatments during the finishing process to meet specific fire safety standards (e.g., CFR 1633, BS 7177).

Fiber Selection Guide for Wovens

Woven Jacquards allow for broad fiber combinations to achieve different effects:

• High-Tenacity Polyester: Chosen for its strength, low cost, and minimal shrinkage, forming the bulk of most woven constructions.
• Cotton/Native Cotton: Used for its natural hand-feel, softness, and moisture absorption, often blended to temper the rigidity of pure synthetics.
• Metallic/Lurex Yarns: Occasionally integrated into the pattern to provide subtle shimmer or highlight effects, typically for luxury goods or decorative borders.

Manufacturing and Customization Process

Production is centered on our advanced Jacquard looms. The core steps involve:

• Dobby and Jacquard Setup: Programming the loom to execute the desired complex pattern repeat.
• Yarn Preparation: Sizing and warping the yarn onto beams, managing multiple yarn colors and types simultaneously.
• Finishing and Calendering: Application of surface treatments to enhance hand-feel (softeners) and passing the fabric through heavy rollers (calendering) to stabilize the weave and improve surface luster.
