With so many meanings for ‘performance textiles’ in the market, it can be difficult to know which fabric is right for your client. Not all ‘performance’ is created equal. Attend the CEU presentation for an intro to the history and development of performance fabrics in the residential market. Explore the different varieties and purposes for each performance type. Enjoy a special preview of the first all-in-one performance fabric by InsideOut Performace Fabrics.
