What is vinyl as a technical fabric?

Vinyl is a synthetic material used as a coating on textile bases, usually polyester, to create a high-performance technical fabric. Its composition gives it great mechanical strength, as well as waterproofing, hygiene, and durability properties, making it an essential ally in intensive use projects.

 

At Alonso Mercader, we develop state-of-the-art technical vinyls, designed to meet the most demanding standards in each sector and provide safe, resistant, and aesthetically appealing solutions.

Vinyl upholstery is now the preferred choice of architects, interior designers, upholsterers, and specifiers looking for a material that combines advanced technical performance with a wide variety of colors, textures, and finishes.

Technical vinyl is a highly sought-after material due to its unique characteristics, which set it apart from other conventional fabrics.

✔ Total impermeability
Vinyl creates a barrier against liquids, moisture, and external agents, making it ideal for restaurants, spas, gyms, or communal areas.

✔ Hygiene and ease of cleaning
Its smooth, non-porous surface prevents the accumulation of bacteria and dirt. It is easy to clean, even with daily disinfection protocols in healthcare or contract environments.

✔ Resistance to wear and tear and intensive use
Vinyl withstands high traffic and continuous use, maintaining its original appearance for long periods.

✔ Wide versatility in design
Available in a wide range of colors and textures, from matte finishes to sophisticated glosses, technical vinyl allows you to create customized projects with a contemporary aesthetic.

✔ Safety and regulations
Alonso Mercader’s technical vinyls comply with fire resistance, durability, and hygiene safety regulations, making them a reliable choice for regulated sectors such as aviation, transportation, and healthcare.

Thanks to its resistance, versatility, and design, vinyl has become the material of choice for a wide variety of applications:

  • Contract: upholstery for chairs, sofas, headboards, and wall panels in hotels, offices, or public spaces.
  • Hospitality and catering: perfect for furniture exposed to intensive use and frequent stains, such as dining chairs or benches in restaurants.
  • Nautical: ideal for boat interiors and exteriors, due to its resistance to water, humidity, and salinity.
  • Furniture and transportation: upholstery for daily use in vehicles, trains, or buses, where wear and tear is constant.
  • Aviation: seats, panels, and common areas with strict safety, hygiene, and fire resistance requirements.
  • Healthcare: hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, where cleanliness and durability are key factors.
  • Community spaces: cinemas, gyms, theaters, and spas, where upholstery must combine aesthetics and durability in the face of intensive use.
