Sarelli Interiors Textiles applies fire-retardant, stain-resistant, water-repellent, and anti-mold treatments to luxury fabrics to meet specific residential and commercial performance standards. Textile technicians apply these chemical finishes during the final production stages to alter the physical properties of the raw material without changing the visual appearance. Clients can request these modifications for most materials within the Fabrics catalog.
Fire-retardant treatments for public and residential spaces
Fire-retardant fabric treatments involve immersing the woven material in a specialized chemical bath that prevents the textile fibers from igniting when exposed to an open flame. Commercial interior projects require these fire-resistant certifications to comply with international building safety codes.
Sarelli applies flame-retardant finishes to natural linen and cotton blends weighing between 150 GSM and 400 GSM. The fire-retardant treatment process requires 48 hours of curing time and costs an additional 18 EUR per linear meter. Treated textiles achieve EN 13773 Class 1 and NFPA 701 certification standards. For sheer window coverings, Sarelli utilizes inherently flame-retardant Trevira CS polyester yarns during the Sheer Fabrics Production phase rather than applying a post-weave chemical coating.
Stain-resistant and water-repellent fabric coatings
Stain-resistant and water-repellent coatings create a microscopic protective barrier over individual fabric threads that forces liquid spills to bead on the surface rather than absorbing into the material. Furniture manufacturers specify these protective finishes for high-traffic seating areas.
The Sarelli textile mill applies nanotechnology-based stain repellents to upholstery fabrics that endure up to 50,000 Martindale abrasion cycles. The application process adds exactly 12 grams of weight per square meter to the base textile. This hydrophobic finish maintains 95 percent liquid repellency even after 20 standard machine washing cycles at 30 degrees Celsius. Clients can request this protective coating for any item within the Fabrics Collection with a standard lead time of 10 to 14 business days.
Anti-mold and UV-resistance treatments for outdoor textiles
Anti-mold and ultraviolet resistance treatments protect outdoor textiles from fungal growth and color fading caused by prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Textile engineers apply these specialized acrylic finishes to fabrics intended for exterior patios and marine environments.
Sarelli outdoor fabrics undergo a 120-minute thermal bonding process at 160 degrees Celsius to lock in the UV-resistant chemical compounds. Treated fabrics achieve a Grade 8 rating on the ISO 105-B02 colorfastness scale after 1,000 hours of continuous artificial weathering. The anti-fungal biocides integrated into the Fabrics Composition prevent mildew formation in environments with up to 90 percent relative humidity.
