vinyl upholstery: 
durable, easy-to-clean with  
a human touch 

We can’t imagine a world where furniture is stripped of all its softness. And it doesn’t have to be. By using upholstery that celebrates tactility and colour yet stands up to the constant cleaning protocols demanded of today’s common spaces, we can continue to fill our environments with beautiful materials that help to make us feel at home – wherever we are.

On a purely practical level, upholstery provides an extra layer of comfort and protection for furniture. Aesthetically, it adds character, accents and a feeling of homeliness to interior spaces. Some materials may look sumptuous, luxurious, cosy and comfortable but simply can’t stand up to the demands of commercial spaces. Not only do they have to account for high traffic and turnover, but their need for constant cleaning is even more explicit in the post-pandemic era. Other materials may be highly technical – able to be cleaned, disinfected and withstand heavy use – but appear sterile and soulless. Vescom vinyl upholstery, on the other hand, has every base covered. It has the look and feel of a textile or leather and the superior functionality and resilience of vinyl. Putting wellbeing first, Vescom vinyl upholstery is hygienic, stain resistant, easy-to-clean and can be disinfected.

testing procedures and technical specifications 

We perform internal tests on every new development to secure a high degree of cleanability. In order to obtain official test certificates, external testing is conducted by certified independent test institutes.

Through our testing, we aim to obtain the highest possible quality when it comes to ease of cleaning, stain resistance and disinfecting. Vescom's vinyl upholstery has been tested according to the following criteria:

resistance against cleaners and disinfectants: 
ASTM F793, internal testing 
EN 12720, internal/external testing 

To determine if vinyl upholstery can withstand cleaning with regular household cleaners, a scrubbability test was performed with different brands of water based all-purpose cleaners. All tested cleaners show no adverse effects on vinyl upholstery. The vinyl upholstery shows an excellent resistance against blood, urine, sweat and sebum when cleaned with Vescom Cleaner, as tested in accordance with EN 12720.

 

Vescom vinyl upholstery can be disinfected with disinfectants based on peroxide and “quats” (quaternary ammonium) as no adverse effects are visible. Active chlorine (with concentration of 1000 ppm) can be used safely, however frequent use can lead to some discoloration. Alcohol based disinfectants shows a severe attack of the upholstery and therefore should not be used on vinyl upholstery.
