Almost ®, the collection of distinctive material engineered
by Paul Brayton Designs, has the elegant appearance and
touch of fine soft glove leather with the durability and
inherent stain resistance achieved through advanced technology.
The same space-age chemistry used to develop bullet-proof
glass and high performance aircraft components has been
successfully applied to fiber and textile engineering to
produce the outstanding characteristics of the materials
in the Almost® collection.
The
nylon fibers in Almost ® are laid down in a three-directional
axis similar to the natural structure of collagen that is
found in leather, resulting in superior durability. One
ounce of this nylon micro-fiber would be long enough to
wrap around the equator several times.
Almost
®
is a material that is remarkably comfortable to sit on during
any season. The porous structure of the Almost
® collection breathes
by transmitting moisture vapor through billions of tiny
micro-pores. In warm weather, excess heat is dissipated
and in cold weather, it is retained.
The
intrinsic strength of Almost ®
makes it tear and puncture resistant, thus creating a material
with considerable versatility. Almost
® can be used for
upholstery, desk inlays, or wall and panel applications.
Because
of the special finishing developed for Almost
®, the color is
an integral part of the material; permanently enriching
it with a fresh appearance that will not fade or lose its
beauty over time.
