A new upholstery fabric stops water
Lantal's latest product for the rail industry is a hard-wearing velvet seat cover with a water-repellent backing17 film. Most rail system operators clean their seats with spray extraction. This wet process typically reduces the life of the foam18 core, but with Lantal's new upholstery fabric, the core is protected against the ingress of water. In similar products that incorporate a water barrier, the film is bonded to the foam core. In cases of vandalism, such constructions make it necessary to replace both the upholstery fabric and the core.
With Lantal's new design, only the fabric with the backing film needs to be replaced to restore the full integrity of the seat. Additionally, Lantal's product effectively prevents dirt and dust from reaching and eventually deteriorating the foam core. The new upholstery fabric can be produced in the customer's livery colours and signature patterns, including corporate identity elements.
Rhyme versus reason
Among many others, Lantal has successfully implemented major rail interior projects for the Swiss Federal Railways, RATP Paris, the French Railways SNCF, NS Nederlandse Spoorwegen Belgium Railway, Linzer Lokalbahn, China Rail, and Dallas People Movers.
These projects have confirmed that operators can boost19 rail traffic with inviting interiors; however it is not always easy to reconcile bold design with the reality of wear and tear. To address both factors, Lantal recommends velvets over flat weaves for passenger seats, because they are more durable, and wool blends, because they best comply with fire behaviour standards. Many rail-car interiors are dominated by blue hues20, but brighter colours, fresher accents, and contemporary combinations are on the advance.
