Seating Fabrics
Performance Textiles
Comfortable, luxurious yet durable fabrics for all types of aviation seating.
Seating Fabrics
Our Seating fabrics for aviation are lightweight, tightly woven and highly durable – providing comfort alongside resistance to abrasion, perfect for high-contact surfaces.
These fabrics can be used across all types of aviation seating – passenger, pilot and flight attendant.
Like all Replin fabrics, our Seating products can be re-designed to fit your brand’s requirements, ensuring uniformity across the aircraft interior.
Passenger Seating
All Replin Passenger Seating products are designed to ensure a comfortable journey.
The natural lustre of wool gives each fabric a luxurious appearance while maintaining a soft, warm textile finish. These fabrics are also highly resistant to abrasion, reducing maintenance costs and prolonging the lifetime of the product.
The Passenger Seating range can be re-engineered to suit any brief, with custom colours and textures to suit your brand’s personality.
Pilot Seating Fabric
Our fabrics for pilot and co-pilot seating can be found in cockpits all over the world.
All Replin Pilot Seating products are designed with a tight durable weave, helping them to maintain their smart appearance and technical performance throughout multiple flights without becoming damaged. With a soft yet hard-wearing finish, these wool-rich fabrics are breathable and comfortable, helping pilots to focus on the task at hand.
WCC Attendant Seating
WCC is a range of tightly woven and highly durable fabrics for attendant seating. Abrasion resistant yet soft to the touch, WCC fabrics are made comfortable thanks to the inclusion of wool and cotton fibre.
WCC fabrics are also suitable for use in crew rest mattress upholstery, as well as any other heavy traffic seating areas.
Features and benefits
Replin fabrics are smartly designed to provide a range of performance benefits.
Tensile strength
Tensile strength testing measures a fabric’s ability to withstand being pulled or stretched without tearing. Our Seating products have strong tensile properties, meaning they hold up well when tightly stretched over seating cushions, saving on the cost of repairs.
Abrasion resistance
Seat covers are one of the highest-contact areas of a cabin, and need to frequently be removed for dry cleaning. Able to withstand tens of thousands of rubs, our fabrics maintain their texture and structure, withstanding frequent cleaning and prolonged passenger contact and providing long-lasting quality and a consistent aesthetic.
Colour fastness
Replin fabrics are rigorously tested for colour fastness, which measures how well the fabric retains colour when exposed to various stressors, such as water, rubbing and light. Our fabrics achieve excellent colour fastness results, helping the fabric maintain its appearance for longer.
Flame resistance
All Replin fabrics meet the rigorous standards for flame retardancy, smoke emissions, toxic gas emissions, and heat release, as required by aviation authorities including FAR, Airbus and Boeing.
Anti-pill
Pilling occurs when small, fuzzy balls form on a fabric’s surface due to friction, which can make upholstery look worn or aged. All our fabrics are tested for pilling and achieve excellent results, helping the fabric to maintain a smooth, professional appearance over time.
Wool
This natural fibre provides excellent acoustic insulation – essential for a comfortable journey. Wool is also known for its inherent fire resistance, and provides a warm and soft feel, ideal for long flights.
