Cover Aluminium is a pale, cool grey textile with a minute woven check visible across the swatch. Its tightly packed surface gives the colour a measured, softly textured look rather than a flat solid.

About this fabric

This colourway combines a clean aluminium-grey tone with a very fine, even check created by the close weave. The tiny pattern gives the surface gentle visual depth while keeping the overall impression calm and understated. Its dense, structured appearance makes it best suited to upholstery rather than fluid drapery. No composition, width, rub test or performance feature has been supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Cover Aluminium on a tailored armchair, dining seat or compact sofa where its cool grey tone can lighten the scheme without becoming stark. Combine it with warmer timber, off-white walls or softly contrasting charcoal accents to emphasise the fine woven texture.

Use the cool aluminium-grey tone to bring a light, quietly structured finish to upholstered seating and occasional pieces.

Pairs well with

Cover Aluminium is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
