Contract fabric

Durable commercial fabric for high traffic spaces

Extremely durable, high-performance contract fabric designed for the world’s toughest spaces

For more than 30 years, Crypton has helped commercial designers solve real-world problems with beautiful, hardworking upholstery fabrics. We pioneered the first patented moisture-barrier, stain and odor resistant performance fabric and later introduced the first upholstery fabric evaluated by the EPA to be disinfected.

Find a wide variety of Crypton’s contract fabric at your preferred textile partner.

Designers can specify two different lines of contract fabric:
Crypton® Fabric and Nanotex® by Crypton. Compare the technologies below to find the best protection for your design project.

Both deliver commercial strength performance with long-lasting durability, easy maintenance, and fiber-based stain and odor resistance that will never wash away. The difference comes down to how much protection your space needs.
