Cork fabric for interior applications
Villani Leonello cork fabric for upholstery is designed for interior designers, furniture manufacturers, upholstery workshops, contract suppliers and companies working on hospitality, retail and residential projects.
The material combines a thin layer of natural or agglomerated cork with a technical backing suitable for interior applications. It is supplied in rolls, 140 cm width, and can be evaluated for wallcoverings, upholstered elements, panels, seating details, headboards, poufs and decorative surfaces.
The choice of cork texture, backing and surface treatment depends on the final application, the expected use and the production process.
Main applications
Cork fabric for upholstery can be used for different interior and furnishing applications, especially when a natural, tactile and distinctive surface is required.
Main applications include:
- wallcoverings and decorative panels
- upholstered furniture
- armchairs, seating details and poufs
- headboards and padded elements
- hospitality and contract interiors
- retail and showroom surfaces
- interior trim details
R13 upholstery backing
For upholstery and interior applications, the most suitable construction is based on R13 upholstery backing.
This backing is a coated cotton-polyester fabric designed to provide stability, flexibility and a soft hand suitable for covered or upholstered elements. Once laminated with cork, the material has an approximate thickness starting from 0.75 mm.
The R13 construction can be evaluated for wallcovering, seating, panels, headboards, poufs and other interior components where the material needs to combine visual impact, flexibility and technical consistency.
Textures, finishes, and surface treatment
Cork fabrics for upholstery are available with different natural, agglomerated, coloured and printed cork textures. The choice depends on the visual effect, project positioning and final use.
For interior applications, surface treatments can be evaluated according to the expected use of the material. The standard treatment is a water-based polyurethane solution with natural and synthetic waxes.
Additional finishes or customized surfaces can be discussed depending on the project, required performance and production feasibility.
Safety, REACH, and sustainability
Our cork fabrics are produced in accordance with European REACH regulations and are developed for professional applications where material control and technical documentation are important.
The main cork fabric production process does not require water, except for specific surface treatments. This is an important aspect of our production approach and helps reduce resource use in the core lamination process.
For interior and upholstery applications, we recommend evaluating the material according to backing, thickness, surface treatment, flexibility, cleaning requirements and expected use.
