Flock: softness on your sofa

Touch is the most important sense.

We are able to perceive hundreds of different textures, temperature changes with precision and recognize objects and shapes just by the contact of our skin. That’s why for us, after more than 50 years dedicated to the textile industry.

Texture is one of the elements to which we pay most attention in our fabrications, and one of the most pleasant touches we can feel is softness. The velvety effect. That sensation that transmits peace and tranquility through the skin. What is known, in technical terms, as flocking. Flock. A millenary technique in your daily life.

Flocking is the application of fine particles.

such as fiber powder or microfilaments, on a surface that allows its adhesion.

. Some historians date this technique to China, around 1000 BC, although it spread throughout Europe during the Middle Ages and became popular in the 1970s in the rest of the world. Today, after disappearing for a while, it has re-emerged stronger than ever in the decorative and industrial world.Just take a look around you. The wallpaper in the house you saw in that magazine, the car you drive or the bottle of wine you’re taking to dinner with friends. From the rug you stand on to the chair you sit in. Flocking is a very versatile technique that has become an integral part of our daily lives, as it can be applied to almost any type of surface to achieve that characteristic texture.

And of course, on a sofa. The most important piece of furniture in the living room, where we spend so many hours throughout our lives, can become a great ally of softness and comfort. In fabrics such as Marina HP or Daytona HP we use flocking to give it a velvety touch that makes the sofa gain in quality, look and elegance. And you, at the same time, gain in moments of relaxation to your measure. Give a Rustika look to your living room.

As you may have noticed, at Aquaclean, we not only care about your peace of mind. We also care about quality, and we pay special attention to the feel and exceptionality of our fabrics.
