Upholstery Fabrics for Care Homes and Senior Living

Care homes and senior-living residences need seating that is comfortable, easy to clean and hygienic. Fabrics with a water-repellent face and a membrane backing are used to protect cushions from spills and accidents.

What care environments need

How Atlas Contract can help

We supply contract upholstery including water-repellent, membrane-backed and antibacterial options that are also used in hospitality. We can discuss suitable qualities, colours and quantities for care-home projects, subject to article-specific documentation.

Compliance and documentation

Fire and hygiene requirements differ by country and by facility. We do not claim that any fabric is suitable for every setting. Send your local requirements and we will confirm what documentation is available for each article.
