Sometimes referred to as oilcloth or PVC cloth, our cloths are constructed of cotton fabric, which is printed and then laminated. It has similar properties to vinyl .
Unlike most oil cloths available in the UK, ours have a matt finish and a soft drape effect to avoid that plastic look. The PVC coating applied is not too stiff so that the cloth hangs better. Despite this soft drape effect, these cloths are extremely hard wearing. They are strong enough to cut a hole or a cross in them (without the need for edging) for instance for a parasol. They can then be cut as squares, rectangles, ovals and rounds with no sewing needed.
