Pew Fabric Options
Our standard line of pew options features polyolefin fabric. Many fabrics will not hold up to the amount of use and traffic of a typical church congregation, and a church will find themselves replacing their pew coverings far sooner than they had anticipated. What is the solution? Pews covered with polyolefin fabric. All of our church chairs and church seating utilize polyolefin fabric for a variety of reasons. Polyolefin fabric is strong, stain and puncture resistant and tested for durability.
Polyolefin was developed in 1961 and originally used for outdoor equipment such as backpacks and mountain climbing clothing. “Polyolefin fibers are those fibers produced from polymers formed by chain growth polymerization of olefins (alkenes) and which contain greater than 85% polymerized ethylene, propylene, or other olefin units. The fibers are unaffected by solvents at room temperature and are swollen by aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons only at elevated temperatures,” (See more) The fabric is resistant to color fading because the color is grafted in during the fiber forming stage rather than dyed afterwards. Its composition is closer in properties to a plastic than the typical fabric which makes it lightweight, stain resistant, fast drying, and resistant to things like mildew and chemicals.
Polyolefin, despite all of these features, is also a comfortable fabric. Stretched over quality foam, this fabric still provides a comfortable seating experience and promises, combined with quality wood and construction, a pew that will hold up against your varied church traffic.
For our custom pews we have access to a nearly unlimited variety of other fabrics, fabric colors and fabric patterns.
