Pet owners often face the need to protect themselves from their pets' sharp claws.
Special materials called anti-vandal will help with this.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI on issues of interior design and interior design, will tell you which materials are suitable for those who keep cats and dogs at home.
What is vandal-proof textile?
Vandal-proof materials undergo mechanical impact tests to determine how many abrasion cycles they can withstand.
The textile's resistance to fading after washing and pilling is also assessed.
Such materials are:
- flock, which is a dense textile with a pile coating;
- corduroy, which is cozy and soft to the touch;
- eco-leather, which is an alternative to more expensive natural materials;
- jacquard and others.
Flock is considered one of the most versatile materials suitable for families with animals.
At the same time, furniture with jacquard upholstery can be placed even in the hallway, only taking into account that the material will be marked "scotchguard". The material treated in this way is not afraid of moisture and will serve faithfully, even if the furniture is constantly used.
