Vertical Surface Fabrics
Performance Textiles
Durable, stylish wool-blend fabrics for vertical surface applications.
Vertical Surface Fabrics
Our vertical surface fabrics for aviation provide high durability and excellent acoustic properties.
Both our Eclipse and WNN qualities are renowned for their combination of technical appearance and luxurious finish. These fabrics combine flame-retardant Nomex fibres with natural wool, ensuring they surpass safety requirements without sacrificing appearance.
Eclipse
Eclipse is a bespoke range of luxury fabrics designed for vertical surfaces, combining brand expression with excellent technical performance.
Our designers collaborate with clients to create unique colours, patterns and textures, with options in varying weights and yarn qualities. Made with wool, Eclipse offers comfort, warmth, and acoustic benefits, while the inclusion of Nomex ensures flame resistance and safety compliance.
Eclipse fabrics are highly durable, resistant to wear and fading, and are available in multiple weights to balance fuel efficiency and performance.
WNN
WNN is a highly durable aviation fabric designed for vertical upholstery in high-contact areas such as footrests and bulkheads. It combines abrasion resistance, colour fastness and anti-pilling performance with a soft, wool-enhanced finish for added comfort and acoustic benefits. Woven with Nomex for flame resistance, WNN meets all aviation safety standards.
Customisable in colour and design, WNN integrates with other interior textiles and can include a self-adhesive backing for easy installation, reducing maintenance time and costs.

Features and benefits
Replin by Hainsworth 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 vertical surface fabrics have strong tensile properties, meaning they hold up well when tightly stretched over panels or walls. This also means the fabric stays in place without sagging or wrinkling, saving on the cost of repairs.
Abrasion
Able to withstand tens of thousands of rubs, our fabrics maintain their texture and structure, withstanding 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. This helps 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.
Nomex
Nomex is a high-performance meta-aramid that offers excellent flame resistance, helping the fabrics to meet standards and providing superior safety for aircraft interiors.
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.
