11oz Coloured hessian 40” wide (per mtr)

11oz Coloured Hessian Upholstery Fabric, 40" Wide

11oz Coloured Hessian is a medium-to-heavy woven jute fabric available in nine decorative colours. It combines the traditional texture of natural hessian, also known as burlap, with a choice of finishes suitable for furniture decoration, interior design, display work and creative upholstery projects.

Measuring 40" (approximately 102cm) wide, the fabric is sold by the linear metre, allowing customers to order according to their project requirements.

Unlike conventional natural hessian, which is normally concealed within upholstered furniture, coloured hessian can be used where its woven texture and distinctive appearance are part of the finished design.

Applications for Coloured Hessian Fabric

The woven texture makes this coloured hessian particularly suitable for decorative applications where the fabric's appearance is important.

Typical uses include:

• Decorative furniture panels: Creating textured upholstery details on suitable furniture components.
• Interior design: Covering decorative wall panels and suitable display surfaces.
• Exhibition and display work: Producing coloured backgrounds and textured presentation materials.
• Craft projects: Making decorative fabric elements, covers and accessories.
• Stage and prop construction: Creating rustic or textured effects in different colours.
• Upholstery restoration: Reproducing appropriate decorative fabric details where coloured hessian is required.

The suitability of the fabric for a finished furniture covering depends on abrasion requirements, construction and any applicable fire safety regulations. No specific upholstery fire-performance certification is stated for this product.

Coloured Hessian or Natural Upholstery Hessian?

Coloured hessian is primarily useful where the fabric's appearance matters.

For internal furniture construction, natural upholstery hessian may be a more appropriate choice, particularly when covering springs or supporting traditional fillings.

offers several natural hessian grades:

• 7oz Open-Weave Hessian for suitable lightweight scrim and filling-retention applications.
• 10oz Medium-Weave Hessian for general traditional upholstery.
• 12oz Hessian, 72" Wide where a tighter weave and wider fabric are required.
• 15oz Hessian, 36" Wide for suitable heavier-duty foundation applications.

For specialist restoration using natural flax fibres rather than jute, consider 100% Natural Linen Scrim.

Measuring and Working with Coloured Hessian

Before ordering, measure the area to be covered and allow sufficient fabric for turning, positioning and securing the edges.

The 40" width should be considered when planning larger panels to minimise unnecessary joins.

As hessian is a woven fabric, cut edges may fray. Use suitable Upholstery Shears & Snips and finish exposed edges appropriately.

For timber-mounted decorative panels, compatible Upholstery Staples may be used where appropriate.

If the material will be exposed to regular handling, sunlight or moisture, its suitability and colourfastness should be checked before installation.
