Interiors · Contract & residential
We supply upholstery cloth, leatherette and leather rolls, curtain fabric and sheers to interior contractors, furniture workshops, hotels and corporate fit-outs across Islamabad, Rawalpindi and the wider Pakistani market.
What we supply
Tell us the piece and the traffic it will take and we will put cuttings in front of you. Every range below is supplied by the roll or cut to your order; shade, weight and construction are confirmed against a physical sample before anything is committed. Curtain fabric and sheers are covered in the drapery section below.
Looped, high-pile cloth for sofas, armchairs, headboards and bolsters. Reads as a soft field at a distance and as visible loop structure up close. Ask for the abrasion band before specifying it on a heavily used seat.
Melange tweeds and cut-pile chenilles for lounge and lobby seating. Both hide soiling better than a flat weave, which is why they survive corporate reception areas that plain cloth does not.
Flat plains and herringbone twills in ivory, oat and stone. The quiet option for schemes where the joinery or the art carries the room, and the easiest family to match across a multi-room order.
Coated leatherette by the roll in tan, chestnut and dark brown, plus leather for seat pads, banquette facings, panelling and cushion work. Wipe-clean surfaces suit restaurant and clinic seating.
Finished scatter cushions in panelled leather with contrast blanket-stitch edging. Supplied as a finished accessory to sit against plain or bouclé seating.
Drapery
Most rooms we supply take a pair: a pleated linen curtain for privacy and light control, and a sheer voile behind it that keeps daylight in the room once the heavy layer is drawn back. Specifying both at the same time is the only reliable way to get the two fabrics reading as one scheme.
Send us the window schedule: pole or track, ceiling height, finished drop, stack-back allowance and heading type (pinch pleat, wave, eyelet or tape). We will price the fabric against the fullness ratio you want rather than guessing at it.
A woven Roman blind is available as an alternative or an addition, where a window wants a flatter treatment than a curtain.
Fabric widths, pattern repeat and available drops differ by range, so the schedule is priced after the range is chosen, not before.
Abrasion resistance
Abrasion resistance is measured by the Martindale test to ISO 12947-2 (the same method is cited in North America as ASTM D4966): a fabric specimen is rubbed under load in a Lissajous figure until a set number of threads break. The result is a rub count, and a rub count is what a contract specifier writes into the furniture schedule. Use the bands below to decide what to ask us for.
| Martindale (rubs) | Band | Where it is normally specified |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10,000 | Decorative | Scatter cushions, bed runners, headboard panels and occasional pieces that are looked at more than sat on. |
| 10,000-20,000 | Light domestic | Bedroom chairs, guest-room seating, ottomans and pieces used intermittently. |
| 20,000-25,000 | General domestic | Living-room sofas and armchairs in daily household use. |
| 25,000-30,000 | Heavy domestic | Family seating, apartment lounges and long-let residential furniture. |
| 30,000 and above | Commercial / contract | Hotel lobbies, restaurant banquettes, office breakout seating, waiting areas and other public-space furniture. |
Typical industry range. Exact specification confirmed at sampling. The bands above are the published industry convention for reading a Martindale figure; they are not a test result for any individual Paragon range. Where a rub count is required for a tender, name the band you need in your enquiry and we will confirm what can be supplied against it.
A rub figure describes abrasion only. Pilling, seam slippage, light fastness and cleanability are separate properties and are confirmed separately.
Contract specification
This is the sheet we complete for you against a chosen range. Paragon publishes no blanket figure for these fields, because a single figure across a whole fabric library would be false: every cell is confirmed on the selected range, in writing, at sampling.
| Field | Published figure |
|---|---|
| Composition | On request Stated as a percentage blend for the selected range, for example the cotton, polyester, viscose or acrylic content of a bouclé or chenille, or the backing and coating of a leatherette. |
| Weight (g/m²) | On request Confirmed per range; heavier cloth is not automatically more durable, so read weight alongside the rub count. |
| Width (cm) | On request Usable width governs how many drops you cut from a roll, confirm it before calculating curtain quantities. |
| Pattern repeat V × H (cm) | On request Plains and small textures have no meaningful repeat; herringbones and jacquards do, and the repeat is added to every cut length. |
| Martindale (rubs) | On request Read against the ISO 12947-2 bands above and confirmed for the range you select. |
| Finish & FR treatment | On request FR treatment available on request: treatment and standard confirmed per project. |
| Roll length | On request Roll length and the number of pieces per roll are confirmed with the quotation, together with cutting and shade-batch arrangements. |
“On request” means exactly that: the field exists, it matters, and we confirm it in writing for your range rather than publishing a number we cannot stand behind for every roll in the building.
Send the piece list or the window schedule and we will calculate it with you. Seat and back panels, arm facings, piping and outside backs all draw from the same roll, and a patterned range needs an allowance for the repeat on every cut. Ordering the whole quantity in one go also keeps the work in a single shade batch.
Dyed cloth varies between production batches. Where a scheme runs across several rooms, order the full quantity at once and ask us to reserve it from one batch, and approve the shade against a physical cutting, never against a screen.
Recommended care for this fabric type, not a tested Paragon result: vacuum woven upholstery regularly with a brush head; blot spills immediately rather than rubbing them; keep bouclé and chenille away from hooks, claws and zips, which pull loops; wipe leatherette and leather with a damp cloth and dry it, avoiding solvents and alcohol. Curtains and sheers hold their line best when they are dry-cleaned rather than laundered. Confirm the cleaning code for the range you select before any treatment is applied.
Send a cutting, a photograph with a scale reference, or the original range name. We will tell you honestly whether we can supply a match, a near-equivalent, or neither, a near-equivalent identified early is cheaper than a mismatch discovered on site.
How we supply
Nothing is committed from a photograph. Tell us the piece, the traffic and the scheme; we put physical cuttings in front of you, you approve one, and the order is placed against that approved cutting with its specification sheet completed.
Goods are supplied by the roll or cut to order, and we can hold a reserved quantity for a phased fit-out so later rooms are not cut from a different batch. Delivery is quoted ex-works Islamabad or on FOB, CIF or DDP terms. Tell us the incoterm you work to and we will price it that way.
Payment terms are documented and unchanged across the business: 30% advance, 70% before pick-up. Minimum quantity and lead time are confirmed with each quotation, against the specific range and the quantity you need.
