Architex Upholstery Fabrics
Architex offers an extensive selection of upholstery textiles developed for interiors where durability and sophisticated design are equally important.
The upholstery collection includes woven fabrics, non-wovens, leather, high-performance textiles and specialty performance constructions, with options suitable for everything from seating and banquettes to headboards and other upholstered surfaces.
Architex fabrics are frequently specified in environments that demand reliable performance, including:
Commercial interiors
Hotels and hospitality spaces
Restaurants
Healthcare environments
Corporate offices
Public spaces
High-traffic residential interiors
For residential projects, these same performance qualities can make Architex particularly useful for family rooms, dining chairs, sofas, sectionals, banquettes and other heavily used furnishings.

High-Performance Architex Fabrics
Performance is one of the defining strengths of Architex.
The brand develops and tests textiles for qualities that may include abrasion resistance, colorfastness, physical durability, crocking resistance and flammability performance, depending on the individual product and intended application.
Architex is a member of the Association for Contract Textiles, and the company states that it tests and certifies its fabrics according to ACT Voluntary Performance Guidelines.

Because individual specifications vary by fabric, designers should always review the technical data for the exact pattern and colorway being considered.
Architex Drapery Fabrics
Architex is not limited to upholstery.
The collection also includes drapery fabrics and privacy curtain textiles developed for commercial, healthcare, hospitality and other interiors requiring both design flexibility and technical performance.
Depending on the pattern, Architex drapery fabrics may be appropriate for:
Curtains
Decorative drapery
Privacy curtains
Room dividers
Hospitality installations
Commercial window treatments
The individual product specification should always be checked for fiber content, width, flame-performance requirements and recommended application.

Architex Wallcoverings
Architex also offers commercial wallcoverings and specialty wall-surface materials designed to bring color, texture and durability to interior architecture.
These materials are particularly relevant to hospitality, workplace, healthcare and other high-use spaces where conventional residential wall treatments may not provide the necessary durability.
Architex identifies wallcovering as one of its core product categories alongside upholstery, drapery and privacy curtain fabrics.

Panel and Acoustic Textiles
Architex also develops materials for wrapped panels and acoustic applications, expanding the collection beyond conventional upholstery and drapery.
These products can be useful in environments where textiles are incorporated directly into architectural surfaces, acoustic systems or wall panels.
The company's product categories currently include Panel and Acoustic textiles in addition to its broader upholstery, outdoor and specialty offerings.
Architex Outdoor Fabrics
Architex offers a dedicated selection of outdoor textiles engineered for exterior and indoor-outdoor applications.

Outdoor performance requirements can differ substantially from indoor upholstery, so specifications such as UV resistance, moisture performance, cleaning instructions and recommended application should be confirmed before ordering.
Write-Off Ink and Stain Resistant Fabrics
Architex also offers specialty performance textiles within its Write-Off category, designed around ink and stain resistance.

These types of fabrics can be especially valuable for commercial, hospitality, educational, healthcare and active residential environments where easy maintenance is a priority.

Sustainability and Healthy Interiors
Sustainability is also part of the Architex product-development philosophy.
The company identifies innovative design, technology and sustainable practices as central to the way it develops its contract textile collection.
Architex also maintains resources related to Healthy Interiors, performance standards, cleaning and textile specification.
These resources can be particularly useful for architects and designers working on projects with specific environmental, healthcare or performance requirements.
Architex Performance Standards
Architex publishes detailed performance information to help designers select the correct textile for a particular application.
The brand's ACT testing addresses important areas such as:
Flammability
Wet and dry crocking
Colorfastness to light
Physical properties
Abrasion performance

Architex notes that abrasion results should not be treated as a direct prediction of fabric lifespan because actual durability also depends on application, use and maintenance.
