These fabrics are designed for the demands of everyday life, whether at home or in light commercial spaces. Traditionally dyed and PFAS-free, these durable textiles resist common spills and clean easily with just soap and water, offering a smart, stylish solution for spaces that need both performance and peace of mind.

These fabrics feature solution-dyed yarns, where color is built into the fiber from the start, resulting in rich, long-lasting hues and enhanced fade resistance. The process also supports more sustainable manufacturing by reducing water and chemical use. Designed for indoor residential and light commercial spaces, these durable, PFAS-free fabrics offer enhanced colorfastness and are easy to clean with soap and water or a diluted bleach solution.

These solution-dyed fabrics are designed for durability across residential, light commercial, and outdoor applications. Because the color is added during fiber formation, they offer vibrant, long-lasting hues with enhanced fade resistance and a reduced environmental impact. Liquid-resistant and PFAS-free, these fabrics are exceptionally durable and easy to clean with soap and water or a diluted bleach solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a group of human-made chemicals used for their water and stain repellent properties. They’re often called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down naturally and can accumulate in the environment and the human body over time.

PFAS-free means a product does not contain any of these chemicals, which is increasingly important for both health and environmental reasons.

All Fortress fabrics are PFAS-free, eliminating concerns about “forever chemicals” and future regulatory compliance.

Fortress fabrics are versatile, designed for both residential and light commercial interiors. Always confirm suitability with your sales rep based on the specific requirements of your project.

Solution-dyed yarns are fibers colored during manufacturing (before the fabric is woven) rather than dyed afterward. This process embeds color deep into the yarn, producing rich, long-lasting hues that resist fading from sunlight, cleaning, and everyday wear much better than traditional dyeing methods.

Beyond their vibrant and durable color, solution-dyed yarns offer several important benefits: they improve stain resistance by preventing many stains from penetrating the fibers, maintain consistent color quality across production batches, and contribute to improved overall fabric durability. Additionally, the manufacturing process is more environmentally friendly, using significantly less water, fewer chemicals, and producing less waste than conventional dyeing methods. This makes solution-dyed fabrics a more sustainable choice without compromising performance or aesthetics.

Yes. All Fortress fabrics are PFAS-free, supporting a healthier and more sustainable choice for your projects. Select fabrics also use solution-dyed yarns, a process that significantly reduces water and chemical use compared to traditional dyeing.

Fortress fabrics are designed for easy maintenance. Most spills can be cleaned with mild soap and water.

For more stubborn stains, select designated fabrics may be cleaned with a diluted bleach solution (1 gallon cold water, ½ cup bleach, ½ cup mild soap) without affecting color or performance. Apply the mixture gently with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly with cold to lukewarm water, and allow to air dry. Do not machine dry and avoid harsh scrubbing. *For details on which SKUs are bleach cleanable, please contact your local sales representative.
