Safe. Secure. Sexy.

The three don’t generally go together. But our friends at Duralee Contract have come up with a new math equation that works, and works hard. It goes like this:

NANO-TEX + DURABLOCK = EXTREME PROTECTION

The idea is to blend fine design with durability, and the result is a two-book collection of fabrics with the flair and work ethic of a super-hero’s cape.

Brightly colored and easy to use, these fabrics combine Nano-Tex and DuraBlock technology to form a barrier that is virtually impermeable to stains. While Nano-Tex builds revolutionary spill resistance into the fibers of the fabrics, DuraBlock enhances the stain resistance with a durable liquid barrier that is laminated to the textile. This makes the collection perfect for healthcare, contract and hospitality applications.

As a side note to all you CSI fans and ardent Germ Phobes: Fabrics treated with Nano-Tex and DuraBlock technology meet ASTM F1670 standards for resistance to penetration by blood, ASTM F1671 standards for resistance to penetration by blood-borne pathogens (virus and bacteria) and block the passage of dust mites and microscopic allergenic matter. This is the real deal.

Even better, the collection offers a healthy selection of expressive, colorful fabric designs, with soft medallions, rich scrollwork and tailored chevron patterns that complement a multitude of stripes and solids. The Aquamarine/Leaf/Walnut color book is arranged to flow from cool tones of bright teal and variations of blue into fresh greens, culminating with an anchor of warm browns. Sangria/Plum/Gold is an ensemble of fruity tones of reds, featuring pinks and lavender, plum and berry. It graduates to spice, mango, orange and finally a hint of gold.

What does this mean to interior designers?

It’s the chance to go crazy – and still play it safe.
