This hub consolidates five separate destinations — table finish options, senior living seating finishes, hospitality seating finishes, casegoods finishes and the fabric finder — and links back to each of them, so a designer never has to hunt across the site to compare a wood finish against a fabric.

01 Hard surfaces

Wood, laminate, wrap & edges

The finishes that carry a room. Nine core names run across veneer, laminate and 3DL so a casegood, a table top and a bed panel can be specified to match.

02 Fabrics & vinyl

The full upholstery library

Filter down to the handful that actually fit the project — then add them to your list. Grade drives cost; cleaning code and bleach-cleanability drive whether it survives the setting.

03 Spec guide

Reading the codes

Cleaning codes

W
Clean with water-based agents only.
S
Clean with solvent-based agents only.
W/S
Either water- or solvent-based agents. The most forgiving code and the most common in this library.
C
Mill-specific code. Confirm the protocol on the mill's spec sheet before writing it into a maintenance plan.

Bleach cleanable

Whether the material tolerates a diluted bleach solution. In memory care, skilled nursing and any incontinence-exposed application this is usually the first filter to set, not the last.

1,253 of 1,794 fabrics in this library are bleach cleanable.

Akin grade

A price tier from 1 to 15. A lower grade means lower upholstery cost on the same frame, so grade is the fastest lever when a package is over budget.

Densest coverage sits at grades 4, 6 and 8.

Material types

Vinyl
The volume workhorse — 1,047 options.
Crypton
Moisture-barrier performance textile — 358 options.
Polyurethane
Softer hand than vinyl, no plasticizers — 131 options.
Performance
Woven performance textiles — 173 options.

Grades, availability and cleaning protocols are maintained by the mills and change with catalog updates. Confirm current data with your Akin representative before it goes into a bid package.

Samples ship from your list, not from a form you had to go find.
