For customers with specific requirements, custom fabrics are available on request. With access to a vast network of suppliers, we can source a wide spectrum of materials beyond our core range. Whether you need specialist properties, unique textures, or bespoke finishes, we can find the perfect solution. Please note that custom fabrics may require longer lead times and minimum order quantities, but our team is on hand to guide you through the options and ensure the best fit for your needs.
