The Fabric of a Healthier Life

drapilux air is a totally new generation of curtain and decorative fabrics with amazing additional benefits from Europe's leading manufacturer of contract fabrics, Schmitz-Werke. The products reduce and, in some cases, completely break down tobacco smoke, unpleasant polluting odours and harmful substances such as formaldehyde or nicotine. This is made possible by a new, patented active agent which, rather than absorbing odorants and harmful substances, uses a catalytic process to transform them into harmless substances and decompose them.

Be it in hospitals, nursing homes, sanatoriums or old people's homes - drapilux makes a noticeable difference and provides more freshness and a greater sense of well-being. It improves the air quality in lounges and can thus have an antiallergenic effect. It reduces incontinence smells and it can decrease the need for washing by at least 50%. That in turn cuts laundry costs as well as increasing the life of the fabric. Those are just some examples of the benefits awaiting you. According to Justus Schmitz, managing partner of the company, "drapilux air is the most important invention in the 80-year history of Schmitz-Werke and, in my eyes, in the history of textile fabrics."

This line offers crucial advantages over conventional fabrics. It provides added value in the form of healthiness, freshness, a sense of well-being plus the possibility of saving money. On top of all that, we have also managed to combine the unlimited benefits of low flammability in accordance with international standards. All of this makes drapilux air unique in Europe.

Our best-selling designs will be available with the "air" function as standard with immediate effect. All other fabrics in our extensive basic range are available as "air" fabrics on request for orders of 200 metres or more. We'll keep you updated as to any other interesting changes as and when they happen.
