My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Appropriate for furniture?

9 years ago
I have a solid frame sofa that I would like to recover. Currently has a blue floral design. Is this fabric solid enough to wear well as an upholstery fabric? Has anyone that you know used it for that purpose, and if so, have they sent any pictures back to you? Would love to see some if they have.

    Yes, this is appropriate for medium use upholstery applications in a residential setting. The abrasion on this fabric is 9,000 double rubs. I haven't seen it made up on upholstery, but people tell me its beautiful.
