Upholstery decisions start with use, not a finish label
Hospitality seating, healthcare furniture, residential upholstery and covered outdoor spaces expose textiles to different soils, cleaners, abrasion patterns, light and moisture. Maharam briefs separate construction data from finishing claims, then identify the specimen and method needed to verify the intended application.

Material identity
Match the report to the exact fiber composition, weave, finish, color and backing. A related range name does not establish equivalence.
Method conditions
Record standard edition, conditioning, apparatus, specimen count, endpoint and grading scale. Results from different abrasion or colorfastness methods cannot be exchanged.
Assembly boundary
Textile results do not qualify foam, adhesive, thread or the complete upholstered assembly unless those elements are included in the stated test scope.
