Paper Backing

JRB Silks uses its own proprietary custom knit backing process to minimize grain distortions, puckering & bonding separation which are far too common with knit backing done by commercial backing sources. Silk is the most luxurious fabric. However, because it is a natural fiber, silk fabrics have natural variations. Some of the common visual effects are creases, wrinkles, uneven salvage, shading, mis-weave & grain distortions. JRB Silks has developed backing techniques to compensate for fabric’s natural variations to enhance its visual appeal.

What is paper backing?
Paper backing – a type of non-woven, papertype backing– provides the necessary stiffness to fabrics to make them more suitable for wallpaper type applications. Stain protection is recommended in combination with paper backing.
