CHOOSING THE RIGHT FABRIC

When it comes to sporting and leisure products such as inflatable castles, trampolines, jumping pillows and training equipment, you know that wear and tear are inevitable due to repeated use. Ricky Richards has been distributing the types of textiles needed for these applications for over 35 years and knows exactly what you need to consider when purchasing fabric for your next sporting project.

LOOK FOR A PVC FABRIC

PVC fabrics have benefits such as UV protection, waterproof resistance, fire retardancy and, more importantly, are more resistant to wear and tear than other fabrics. This is achieved by the treatments added in the manufacturing of the textile itself. 

CONSIDER COLOUR

Ricky recommends that when selecting the colour of your fabrics, bear in mind a wide range of colours according to the business corporate image. This will allow you to offer your customers the ability to build brand awareness among their target audiences with little to no effort. 

SOURCE FROM A TRUSTED SUPPLIER

It is essential to install a fabric that you can rely on. High-quality fabrics that are easy to maintain ensures the safety and protection of both the people and the product. It is a bonus to find a fabric that is supported by a warranty. This will give you the confidence in its longevity and shows the supplier believes in the fabric too.

Remember to keep in mind important features such as strength and how the fabric will hold up during all types of weather conditions. Attention to higher quality will help guarantee the durability of your fabric. Ricky Richards is proud to distribute fabrics that are specifically manufactured to perform well under Australian weather conditions.
