Appearance Retention Guide 

To assist specifiers in identifying the tretford colours which are best at soil hiding, we have introduced an Appearance Retention Guide. Each of tretford’s 48 colours is given a star-rating based on their soil-hiding characteristics.

3Colours best suited to extra heavy traffic / soiling areas

2Colours best suited to heavy traffic / soiling areas

1Colours best suited to medium / light traffic / soiling areas

tretford’s 2 and 3 blended colours are vibrant, yet combined with the natural fibre content and unique construction, they have outstanding soil and seam hiding characteristics, comparable to and often better than those of patterned tufted products.

tretford’s 1colours offer the specifier the opportunity to introduce striking designs, borders and effects.

The Appearance Retention Guide is also featured in the tretford sample folders.
