Commercial Performance & Fire Compliance
Upholstery is the functional skin of the Foldrona. We prioritize textiles that can withstand the rigors of high-traffic use without losing their architectural silhouette. Our base offering is a heavyweight 550g/m2 technical textile engineered for high-frequency use and structural stability.
- Abrasion Resistance: Our curated collection features heavyweight textiles with a 45,000 Martindale rating. This is a “Heavy Commercial” grade, engineered to resist pilling, stretching, and thinning over years of daily use.
- Fire Compliance (FC Ratings): For our B2B and hospitality partners, we offer textiles that meet strict European and International safety standards, including Crib 5 (BS 5852) and EN 1021-1/2. This ensures that every Foldrona unit is legally and structurally ready for boutique hotel integration.
- COM (Customer’s Own Material) Support: We understand that unique interiors require unique textures. Our Sofia studio supports COM integration, allowing architects and designers to provide their own specified fabrics while we handle the technical upholstery and tailoring.
The Studio: Where Engineering Meets Craft
Foldrona is a product of the Sofia Engineering Hub—a region renowned for high-performance hardware and software development.
- The Calibration Phase: Manufacturing is a hybrid process. While our Birch Plywood frames are precision-cut by machines, the final assembly of the electronic drive and the application of the textiles are performed by specialized architects and engineers.
- Global Support Architecture: Our operations bridge two continents. The engineering and manufacturing core in Sofia, Bulgaria, works in direct synchronization with our R&D and support center in Maryland, USA. This dual-footprint ensures that our technical expertise is always accessible to our global clients, regardless of their time zone.
