Building on FibreGuard’s stain free technology, FibreGuard Pro offers anti-moisture, mildew and odour resistance and anti-microbial properties due to its unique finish, ensuring moisture is unable to move through the fabric.

The anti-microbial solution applied during the fabric production and finishing gives FibreGuard Pro extra security from mildew and bad odours caused by accidental spills. Liquids and bacteria are unable to attach themselves to the yarn and protects the upholstery foam from moisture making FibreGuard Pro the perfect choice for environments such as hospitals, aged care facilities, hotels and restaurants.

Many moisture barrier fabrics can be rigid and rough, FibreGuard Pro ensures the anti-moisture membrane is both flexible and breathable - making the fabrics soft to the touch and well suited for residential settings too.

Hardworking in every sense, FibreGuard Pro fabrics are not only moisture-resistant, they stay strong and odour-free for longer.  Fully washable to 30 degrees, the unique fabric properties are maintained throughout the washing process and life of the product.
