ACT® Performance Guidelines

We test all of our fabric to ACT’s five performance guidelines for high-traffic spaces. You’ll see these symbols on every Room & Board fabric where they apply. If a fabric meets all five, we recommend it for use in businesses.

Abrasion

A fabric’s resistance to abrasion is measured with the Wyzenbeek method. ACT recommends a minimum of 15,000 double rubs for homes and 30,000 for contract spaces. Abrasion test results exceeding these ratings do not indicate product lifespan.

Colorfastness

A fabric’s resistance to fading from light is measured on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the most fade resistant. ACT recommends a minimum of 4 for contract spaces.

Crocking

A fabric’s tendency to transfer dye when rubbed is measured in wet and dry environments on a scale of 1-5, with 5 transferring the least. In contract spaces, ACT recommends a minimum of 4 for dry and 3 for wet.

Flammability

A fabric’s ability to resist burning. All our fabrics pass the California Technical Bulletin 117-2013 Section 1 standards without using flame-retardant chemicals.

Physical Properties

A fabric’s overall durability and tendency to pill is measured on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the most pill resistant. For contract spaces, ACT recommends a minimum of 3.
