2-Way Stretch Seating

2-Way Stretch Seating Vinyl is a specialised upholstery material designed to offer enhanced flexibility and “give” compared with standard PVC seating vinyls. It features a two-way stretch construction that allows the fabric to flex with contours and curves more easily during installation, helping achieve a tighter, smoother fit over complex shapes without puckering.

With a grippy finish that improves cover retention and reduces slippage once fitted, 2-Way Stretch Seating Vinyl is ideal for marine, automotive, leisure, and bespoke seating applications where both performance and appearance are important. Its stretchability makes it particularly useful for seating with tight curves, foam contours, or sculpted profiles — delivering a professional, tailored finish.

It comes in three distinct grains : a leather grain – for a more traditional look, a grippy smooth grain – for application where high grip is needed, a woven grain to give a woven more textured look.

What 2-Way Stretch Means

A 2-way stretch structure allows the vinyl to stretch along two axes (typically along and across the length of the fabric). This improves conformability to curved and irregular surfaces compared with non-stretch vinyl, while maintaining strength and durability for seating upholstery.
