An industry abrasion-resistance measure (ASTM D4157). Residential fabrics typically rate 15,000–30,000 double rubs; heavy-duty contract fabrics rate 50,000–100,000+ double rubs.
In Practice
At Extra Touch Upholstery, double-rub rating is part of the standard vocabulary of every commission — discussed openly with clients during the specification phase and documented in the written scope before any work begins. Whether you are restoring a family heirloom, commissioning a new custom piece, or refreshing a Lake Tahoe estate, this is the level of detail you should expect from a serious atelier.
