Ultimate Guide to Upholstery Fabric Durability: Understanding Testing & Ratings for Lasting Quality

Have you ever seen the terms "rub count", "rubs", "double rubs", or even "cycles" on the label of an upholstery fabric, and you were wondering what does rub count mean or what those terms have to do with the fabric? In this video you'll learn about two testing methods, the Wyzenbeek Abrasion Resistance Test and the Martindale Resistance Test, that measure how long a fabric can withstand resistance to abrasion. The test results, listed as rub counts or cycles, rate the fabrics on how durable they are which lets us know what would be appropriate uses for the fabrics. If you are looking for a new sofa or an upholstered chair, you'll see a range of fabrics to choose from, all of which have been rated for durability so that you can choose a fabric that meets your needs. I'd love to know your thoughts on this topic and if you have anything else we can add to the discussion. Please share your ideas and suggestions in the comments. There are a number of YouTube channels that have videos showing the Wyzenbeek and Martindale tests in action. Here are a couple of options for you to check out. ~ The Difference Between Wyzenbeek and Martindale Fabric Testing:    • The Difference Between Wyzenbeek & Martind...   Martindale Abrasion Test:    • Martindale Abrasion Test | GORE-TEX   Wyzenbeek Textile Fabric Abrasion Testing Method:    • Wyzenbeek Textile Fabric Abrasion Testing ...   Thanks so much for watching!
