Many customers prefer vinyl fabric for its easy maintenance and leather-like appearance without the high cost. Learn more about the everyday uses of vinyl fabric in different settings.

Vinyl upholstery fabric is more durable and easier to maintain than cotton, which absorbs spills and tends to wear out quickly in high-use areas. Compared to leather, vinyl fabric offers a similar look and texture without the high cost or intensive care. It resists moisture, stains, and sun damage, making it a smart choice for cars, restaurants, and commercial seating. Vinyl fabric is also more flexible in terms of colors and textures, giving customers more design freedom while still getting a material that lasts for years.
