Best Fabrics for High-Traffic Commercial Spaces
Expert Advice from North Gold Coast Upholstery

Choosing the Right Fabric for High-Traffic Areas in Cafes, Hotels, and Offices

When it comes to furnishing high-traffic commercial spaces like cafes, hotels, restaurants, and offices, the type of fabric you choose is just as important as the design. Not only does it need to look great, but it also has to withstand constant use, resist stains, and hold up under the wear and tear of frequent use.

At North Gold Coast Upholstery, we specialise in commercial upholstery solutions that balance durability with style. As the highest-rated upholstery business on the Gold Coast, we’ve helped countless local businesses choose the right fabrics that protect their investment and elevate their space.

Why Fabric Choice Matters in Commercial Upholstery

Unlike residential settings, commercial environments demand materials that can stand the test of time. Whether it’s café booth seating, hotel pool lounges, or office reception areas, it’s important to consider factors such as – 

• Stain-resistant – Accidents happen, especially in hospitality venues. We use fabrics and vinyls designed to repel spills and that clean up easily.

• Commercial rated – The fabrics we use at North Gold Coast Upholstery are tested to meet strict durability standards, including rub count and abrasion resistance.

• UV-protected – UV protected outdoor materials are especially important for Gold Coast venues with outdoor or sun-drenched spaces. UV-resistant fabrics prevent fading over time and can withstand the local climate

• Fire-retardant – Many commercial spaces are legally required to use fire-rated fabrics for added safety and compliance.

• Heavy-duty – Built to last, commercial-grade fabrics hold their shape and appearance over time, even with constant use.
