Trusted for over 40 years, Xorel is the ultimate commercial-grade textile for clients prioritizing extreme performance and durability. Built from an exceptionally strong yarn, this legendary material is inherently stain-resistant, antibacterial, and non-absorbent, ensuring it stands the test of time without degrading for decades. It delivers remarkable ease of maintenance and strict dye-lot consistency, guaranteeing a flawless visual match as your usage needs change—providing a long-lasting solution that also happens to be sustainably PVC-free.

Sahara Matte for panel application has all the amazing qualities of biobased Xorel™ but with a delustered appearance echoing the dry, crisp nature of the Sahara Desert.
