A fabric can look perfect in a sample book and completely fail in real life.

Before choosing a textile, ask:

✔️ Will it be exposed to sunlight? ☀️
✔️ Does it need to handle spills or heavy traffic?
✔️ Will it be wrapped, stretched, or installed on curves?
✔️ Does it need to meet fire codes?

Performance starts before the fabric is ever installed.

The best projects balance aesthetics with the realities of how the space will actually be used.

If you’re not sure what combination of finishes or backing makes sense for your application, we’d love to help!

Patio season is here ☀️

Long days, outdoor dinners, and a lot more time on your furniture.

Between sun, spills, moisture, and everyday use, outdoor fabrics go through a lot this time of year.

A little protection goes a long way in keeping everything looking as good as day one.

If you’re working on an outdoor project, we can help you choose the right combination of treatments to match the environment and keep your fabrics performing.

What determines whether upholstery still looks great a year later?

Usually not the fabric itself. It’s what was done to it before installation.

The right finishing can help prevent:
✔️ Sagging
✔️ Seam slippage
✔️ Permanent stains
✔️ Premature wear
✔️ Moisture issues

Design gets the attention. Performance keeps it there.

Interior designers create the vision. We make sure the fabric performs.

We’ve had the chance to sit down with a few of the designers we work with and hear how they approach materials, performance, and bringing projects to life.

Now we’re looking to feature more of YOU!

If you’re an interior designer and interested in being part of an upcoming interview, we’d love to connect. It’s a simple process and a great way to share your perspective and showcase your work.

Let’s tell more of these stories together.

Stain protection doesn’t mean “no maintenance.”
It means you have the advantage, if you use it right.

The way you clean and care for stain-protected fabrics plays a huge role in how long that performance actually lasts.

Blot vs. rub.
Water vs. solvent.
Timing matters more than you think.

We put together a simple guide that breaks down:
✔️ How stain protection actually works
✔️ What to do and what to avoid when spills happen
✔️ Easy habits that keep fabrics looking like new

Because great performance isn’t just applied. It’s maintained.

Interior designers create the vision. We make sure the fabric performs. ✨

We recently sat down with a few of the designers we work with to talk about what really matters on a project: materials that last, partners who show up, and processes that make things easier.

This is what working with SBI looks like. 🎥

If you need help with an upcoming project, let us know. We’d love to help! 🤝

Interior designers: quick tip 👇

If your fabric is going into a humid, high-use environment (think coastal, hospitality, or heavy traffic), don’t stop at just one finish.

Layer your performance:
✔️ Flame retardant for compliance
✔️ Stain protection for real-life spills
✔️ Backing/lamination for structure + longevity

Because the environment will always test your fabric, plan for it upfront.

That’s where we come in. We’ll help you choose (or finish) the right option so your project performs exactly how you need it to. 🙌

Same fabric. Very different outcome. ☕

Design starts the story. Finishing determines how it ends.

The difference between a fabric that looks good on install day—and one that still performs months (or years) later—comes down to what’s happening beneath the surface.

✔️ Stain protection keeps spills from becoming problems
✔️ Lamination adds structure + moisture defense
✔️ Testing ensures it all actually holds up in the real world

It’s not about changing the fabric.
It’s about protecting what you chose in the first place.

Can you tell which side of the photo shows the treated fabric?

(Hint: It's the side where the coffee is beading on the surface instead of soaking in)

Most fabrics are chosen for how they look.⁠
The best ones are finished for how they perform.⁠
⁠
Because in real life, upholstery isn’t sitting still in a sample book. It’s handling spills, friction, cleaning, and constant use. And without the right finishing system in place, even the most beautiful textile won’t hold up.⁠
⁠
At SBI, we look beyond the surface, combining stain protection, backing, and testing to make sure your fabric performs just as well as it presents.⁠
⁠
Because great design deserves to last.⁠ ✨
