Brandt and Whitney like many other fabric providers is staying current in its selections of floral upholstery fabrics. These discount decorator upholstery fabrics carried by our company can be utilized in any manner possible. Some of our manufactures include but are not limited to Sunbrella, Waverly, Robert Allen, Dura lee, Doral upholstery fabrics and American Silk and this list is just to name a few. Unlike other discount fabric houses like Denver Fabrics, JoAnn fabrics and Hancock fabrics we buy directly from the mills and pass the savings of our way of buying along to you, our customer. JoAnn Fabrics offers a continuous flow of coupons to the general public. But here at Brandt and Whitney we do not feel that this is necessary. We know what our upholstery fabrics are worth to the discount fabric customer and to our customer base in general. We provide discounts that really matter to our customers. What use are the upholstery fabrics that we carry if the customer cannot utilize them?

This takes us back to the wide array of discount decorator fabrics and especially the floral. The first of these companies that we will be speaking about is Waverly. These dramatic floral patterns come in a strikingly wide array of colors. Colors with names like Sea Glass, lapis, Caviar, Ceylon and papaya this is a line to take a look at. At Brandt and Whitney we have more than 25 years experience in dealing with the most reputable companies that are in the fabric industry today. Waverly creates these colors on new and vibrant backgrounds of damask woven to accentuate the pattered over dying process These upholstery fabrics are not for the faint of heart however. If what you are looking for is the mundane and less than wild patterns of your grandmothers youth these fabrics are certainly not, for you. Let's not forget Sunbrella fabrics while we are at it. These upholstery fabrics can also be found in an amazing color pallet and in many different weaves and hands. The discount decorator fabric houses like JoAnn fabrics, Hancock Fabrics and Denver Fabrics are unable to match us when it comes to the variety and styles as well as colors that we here at Brandt and Whitney have to offer our customers.

Sunbrella Fabrics

The living Room; a formal room in the American Home. That is the bastion of fine living. It is filled with the  most formal pieces of furniture, the finest objects of art that the family has and as many delicate collectibles as possible. The furniture is upholstered in fine fabrics that are not for daily use. The best lighting, the best carpet, and the best window and wall coverings.

This definition of what is supposed to be a focal point room in any home makes the idea of actually living in this room an nondescript idea. And the use of the space an uncomfortable and unpleasing thought.

Today this type of room still has it's place in homes where this is a space that is not needed. However in most homes the living room is just that a place to live in. One well ask what has caused this transition to take place. The best and most prevalent reason is the fabric

One of the reasons sited by most decorators is that a space becomes unlivable is due to the wrong furniture choice, in other words, the furnishings are not comfortable and secondly, the choice of fabrics. The fabric gives the impression that the room should not be used.  

All of this has changed with the introduction of Sunbrella fabrics from the outdoors in! . When people think of outdoor fabrics they think of fabrics that are stiff, hard to the touch and plasticky. These descriptive words may well have been used 10 to 15 years ago when thinking of outdoor fabrics. Sunbrella uses only solution dyed fabrics, this dying process allows the colors to be locked in, so that bleaching in the fabrics is no longer a worry. The biggest difference between the outdoor fabrics and the indoor fabrics is that outdoor fabrics are fade, moisture, and stain resistant as well as very easy to clean. A cleaning agent like Acetone can be used without damaging the fabric.

High end upholsters like Brandt and Whitney have the joined the ranks of other firms in offering versatile indoor out door fabrics  to their customer base. In the case of the Sunbrella fabrics that Brandt and Whitney offers these fabrics can be use for many different applications from upholstery to drapery, curtains, to bedcovers, even clothing.

The idea of Sunbrella weaving into their fabrics such treatments as UV blockers and  Crypton elements allow the Discount Designer Fabrics that Brandt and Whitney carries to be very useful . These upholstery supplies are valuable in that they are widening the number of choices that a client has and makes it even more inviting for clients to do business with Brandt and Whitney where their upholstery supply and fabric supply are needed. 

Sunbrella fabrics debuted in 1961 and since that time have become well known in the interior and upholstery industries. Sunbrella began in an active community where the hard wearing fabrics were most needed. Coastal communities where awnings and cushions need to withstand the rigors of the sun and the ever changing wet, marine environment became a challenge to other fabrics. 

In these sunny environments the  the trend toward the open sunshine soaked environments are made even more inviting with the use of Sunbrella fabrics. these fabrics and their inherent ability to remain good looking even the harshest of conditions.

Among our many beautiful, modern, appropriate and very applicable fabrics is the line of Waverly outdoor fabric products that we carry here at Brandt and Whitney. These durable, breathable, heavy duty upholstery fabrics come in a wide array of the newest and most fashionable colors that are available in the Outdoor Fabric market today! These Upholstery fabrics are milled with the outdoor environment in mind. The Waverly outdoor upholstery fabrics are Mold and Mildew resistant and are treated to withstand the harsh conditions that may occur in the outdoor environment. Along with the previously mentioned items about these fabrics they are also treated to withstand the harshest exposure to direct sunlight. They are also easily cleanable with the simplest of mild soap and warm water. There is a unique characteristic about these outdoor fabrics in that although they are milled for the outdoor environment they are also excellent for the indoor environment as well! 

We here at Brandt and Whitney have used these wide array of fashionable, UV resistant, easily cleanable mold and mildew resistant fabrics in the upholstery of sofas, chairs, stools, banquettes, benches, sun room and garden room furniture as well as in the application of drapery, bed linens and bed covers. We have also used these fabrics in the bath as well. These upholstery fabrics have been used in this environment for window curtains and window shades, shower curtains, and in the upholstery of the walls in this specific environment and even toilet tank covers and over valances for mirrors, make up and dressing areas and even in the bath and beach robes and coverups. These textiles can be used to wrap drapery and curtain rods as well, giving the finishing touch to any environment.

 We have had clients that have used these fabrics not only in their homes and gardens but in the design of their clothing that they wear! Well, who are we to argue when it comes to what the client wants Brandt and Whitney is always there for its customers.

We have seen customers use these fabrics in the design of  coats, skirts and even in blouses. and once even in short denim shorts. These fabrics work well for  any and all of the applications that any client might have.  

Unlike many upholstery and fabric shops, Brandt and Whitney knows how to apply these fabrics to create the most discriminating  and polished look possible, after all we have more than 25 years in this home fashion and upholstery industries. 

The second of the outdoor fabric lines that we carry is from the Sunbrella line of outdoor upholstery fabrics. Unlike many of the chain fabric locations like Joann Fabrics or Hancock Fabrics, we can give you our customer, the information that is required to make the correct and most applicable choice. You are not just shopping for fabric, your shopping for a look and a style.

These beautiful  textiles offer a range of colors and styles that are often unsurpassed in their area of this industry. Like the Waverly products Sunbrella carries and provides to their customers and the industries the finest widest range of colors in the industry. Sunbrella has enduring color, sumptuous hand, dramatic effect and are always worry free.

Sunbrella colors stay strong and vibrant, even through intense sunlight exposure and cleanings with bleach. These fabrics are as soft and inviting as they are durable. The effects that can be created with the wide range of hundreds of solids, stripes and textures as well as exquisite decorative Jacquards is truly endless. The last and most important point about Sunbrella fabrics is that they are worry free! These fabrics are resistant to staining and fading. It makes all the difference in the world when you know that the fabric that you are choosing is not only the most correct choice but the best choice for the application. Best of all these fabrics as made in the USA!

The Sunbrella product are easily cleanable and resistant to fading over a longer period of time than most other outdoor fabrics. And the selection of colors will take your breath away.

Brandt and Whitney has a full line of upholstery supplies and Decorative Upholstery Fabrics to meet all of your upholstery and decorative fabric needs.

Brandt and Whitney carries a full line of foam and foam products to fill any order placed with us. Our foams come in a wide variety of densities and qualities. These densities and qualities are manufactured to provide the type and comfort level that you as the customer will prefer. We supply these foams to allow for a greater selection in our upholstery supplies for you our upholstery supply customer.

We believe the best way to introduce any upholstery supply customer to our line of foams is simply to explain each and give as much information as possible.

The first of these foams is our heaviest density, it is the Q35. the density of this foam is measured by the number of pounds per square inch that it will support. This foam can support 32-38 pounds per square inch. The density of this foam measures out to be 2.5-2.75. What does this mean? this means that in the re-upholstery of a piece of furniture that the use of this high quality density foam will allow for a firm and comfortable seat. This foam also insures that you, the customer, will be assured of the most comfortable and long wearing seat possible.

The second of these foams is the Q-11. This quality foam allows for a density of 2.5-2.35. Which means that the foam can support 15-20 pounds per square inch.

The next of these is the LL-32 . This foam allows for a density of 1.05-1.11. This means that the foam can support between 28-36 pounds per square inch. This is yet another wonderful upholstery supply that we here at Brandt and Whitney can supply for our upholstery supply customer.

The next foam that is offered is the R-17. This foam allows for a density of 1.05-1.10. This means that the foam can support 16.21 pounds per square inch. This foam is supplied as yet another selection that an upholstery supply and Decorative Discount Fabric customer can choose from at Brandt and Whitney.

The next of these foams is what is called Dry Fast. This foam has a density of 1.8. This means that this foam can support 30-35 pounds per square inch. the other additional point that bears mentioning about this foam is that it is used for outdoor seating applications where the wicking away of moisture is a necessity. The dry weave foam allows for quicker use of the outdoor furniture piece than with traditional foams. This is yet another reason to purchase your discount decorative fabrics and upholstery supplies from Brandt and Whitney.

Brandt and Whitney also has a wonderful line of the memory foams. We carry a number 3 Viscowhich runs in the 2 inch depth as well as the 3 inch depth the number 4 Visco and the number 5 visco each in the 2 inch and the 4 inch. This product can be supplied in a sheet only price. However we here at Brandt and Whitney are ready to make any of these foams fit your personal order.

The next of the upholstery supply is the Dacron product. This product can be purchased in roll form and in .05, 1.02, 1.05 and above. These products are once again a product that Brandt and Whitney supplies to its upholstery and upholstery supply customers.

The next category that will be of interests to out Discount decorative upholstery customer is our outstanding line of Chenilles. We have several companies that carry this line however perhaps some of our most popular vendors is a company called Greenhouse. This superior Decorative Discount Fabric company creates a line of Chenilles that can be used for a wide variety of applications. These applications include but are not limited to, upholstery, bed linens, drapery, slipcovers, table runners.

These beautiful functional fabrics come in a variety of colors and styles to suite most any application. The fabric shops that are known for carrying these lines such as Joann fabrics coupon sales, Hancock fabrics, and Denver Fabrics cannot hold a candle to those of Brandt and Whitney. These soft, durable warm fabrics come in a variety and colors. Take for instance the Chenille Value Two book by Green House Fabrics. The fabrics booked in this volume come in a variety of warm earth tones that will compliment any of Colorado's more rustic and pleasing environments.

An explanation of some of the fabrics within this book will give our customers a good idea about the versatile fabrics manufactured by the Green House Company. an example of one of these fabrics is a color way called antique. The colors mixed in this fabric give a pleasing mixture of tan, camel, light brown and cream. The second example of these would a color way called Godiva. This incorporates the dark browns, coffee yarns and slightly light tans yarns to give a dark almost regal feeling to this fabric.

The beauty and versatility that these fabrics offer will allow even the most picky customer to be pleased with the result that comes from the uses of these discount decorative fabrics.

The next area that we will be speaking about is our sensuede, suede cloth, ultra suede and Faux Suedes. these fine discount decorator fabrics allow for a versatility of uses that simply cannot be beaten.

The features of these fabrics are endless but we will mention as many as we can in the limited amount of time. These fabrics come in 54" wide rolls and come in rolls that are 43 yards in total quantity. he easy and clean ability of these fabrics cannot be beaten. A simple gentle cleaning in a circular motion will remove most all stains and dirt. This is what makes this fabric so unique. It can be used in almost any application where a busy family may need to relax. Some of the more looked for features in this type of fabric is it's strength and durability. The content of these fabrics adds to their strength and durability. The content of the fabric being more than 95% Polyester with the additional amount being 5% Polyurethane make this fabric almost indestructible.

The ease with which these fabrics can be cleaned is also one of it's finest features. These fabrics can be cleaned with water and if the care instructions are followed closely these fabrics can be used for years and years.

Here is a list of some of the many fine Designer Fabric Lines we use in our upholstery shop and sell to our upholstery supply customers.
