Cork Fabric
| Cork Fabric is a fashionable & flexible product that thin sheets of natural cork are laminated to a fabric support backing using a specialized proprietary technique. The grade or weight of this backing varies depending on the function. Normally a blend of polyester and cotton are used as the backing. The durability of the laminated cork is remarkable. Most cork fabric can be washed using hot water in a washing machine! After lamination the cork is protected with a fabric protection spray which prevents staining. Water, red wind, or coffee just rolls off the surface. |  |
