Woven
 Jute/Phenolic
Composite
A tough and highly durable board
produced by combining jute fibres with a phenol based resin binder.
Biocomposites such as this one provide alternative ways of producing
durable, high performance materials whilst using as few non-renewables
as possible. In other words, by adding jute you use less phenolic
resin. This material is widely used within a range of furniture design
applications. 
 Hemp
A
range of woven organic hemp from Great Britain, manufactured in a
choice of weave-density. Surface patterns are subtle yet distinct
enough to show colours. Strong policy towards the reduction of pesticides
during production and they also use a completely bleach-free manufacturing
methods. Another benefit of hemp as a
natural fibre is that it is easily biodegradable.
 Hemp
A
range of woven organic hemp from the USA, manufactured in a wide range
of weave-densities and surface patterns. Strong policy towards the
reduction of pesticides during production and they also use a completely
bleach-free manufacturing methods. Another
benefit of hemp as a natural fibre is that it is easily biodegradable.
 Jute
Biodegradable
Woven
organic jute available in a choice of weave densities.
Originally intended as a geotextile to prevent landsliding and subsequent
deforestation. Jute is hardwearing and easy to both produce and dispose
of.
 Kevlar
A
woven textile with structural dynamics which outperform steel, but
with a fraction of the weight. Kevlar is also produced and fabricated
at low temperatures and so could be seen as a way of achieving a great
deal with very little. Current applications
for Kevlar include bullet proof vests, industrial strength ropes and
safety harnesses. Kevlar can also be applied to other materials as
a protective coating which will greatly increase the lifespan of a
number of other materials, however, this may interfere with the recycling
potential of the resulting material once it has reached the end of
its use career.
Textile
Architecture
A
particularly interesting area as it isn't so much about the textile
itself. Rather, its about what the textile can do and the resource
savings that it can help us to make.
The textile itself is available in a range of thicknesses and surface
textures.
