Grades of Fabric
What Determines Grades of Fabric?
There are no established industry guidelines or requirements that define what a fabric must be in order to be classified as Residential, Premium, Commercial, Professional, or Contractor Grade.
To help simplify the purchasing process, a year was added to each fabric to let the consumer know why they should pay more for one grade vs another
(ie: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 year fabric)
While many of the fabrics look the same when wound up and wrapped, there are clearly differences between them when examined closely.
Master Gardner’s selection reflects the qualities we believe a true Professional/Commercial Grade fabric should deliver.
