Benefits of Knits

Knitted textiles have a distinctive and unconventional character. Kvadrat Febrik's textiles and designs in the collection stand out,  consequently turning a product or project into something unique. Discover the perfect blend of comfort, versatility, and aesthetics with our range of knitted textiles.

Stretch

Kvadrat Febrik knits are constructed with interconnected loops that stretch in all directions. They recover their original shape once the pressure on the textile is released. The inherent stretch of knitted textiles allows for faster processing. As the knitted textile moulds and corrects during upholstery, production costs are minimised.

Texture

Due to the technique, knits have a different texture compared to woven textiles. The arrangement of knitting loops creates a structure on the surface which is pleasant to touch and gives a rich appearance.

3D

This distinctive expression is achieved by connecting the front and back layers of the textile. Connecting loops, combined with filling yarn, bind the textile layers together to create a comfortable, voluminous appearance.

Acoustic value

Heavy, padded knitted textiles offer good sound absorption properties while flatter textiles are better when acoustic transparency is needed. Reflecting this, knits offer a compelling combination of aesthetic and acoustic performance for vertical applications.

Comfortable touch

The three-dimensional padding, stretch and the softness of the wool work to create tactility. They also combine to make knitted textiles suitable for hot and cold climates.

Sustainability

We are committed to reducing our knitted textile's carbon footprint. We are focused on responsible water usage and innovative processes, such as the inclusion of rainwater in our textile production. Moreover, our textiles are supported by various documentation such as EPDs, Greenguard Gold, HPD and more.  

Durable

The knits in Kvadrat Febrik collection perform to high standards and are suitable for contract use. This is because they are created using a special spinning process and offer the strong functional advantages of wool.
