Sustainability is no longer a secondary consideration in commercial design—it’s fundamental. As expectations grow around environmental responsibility, lifecycle value, and material traceability, specifiers are seeking solutions that meet performance demands without compromising sustainable intent. Classic Melton by Abbotsford Textiles is one such solution.

Made from 100% wool and held in stock in the UK, Classic Melton supports low-impact design from fibre to fit-out. Wool is a natural, renewable, and biodegradable material. Unlike synthetic alternatives, it is free from petrochemicals, contributes no microplastic waste, and requires no added chemical treatments to meet flammability standards—thanks to its inherent fire resistance.
But sustainability in contract interiors isn’t just about fibre—it’s about longevity and relevance.
Classic Melton’s dense, tightly woven structure delivers lasting performance in high-traffic settings, reducing the need for frequent replacements and supporting circular procurement models. In furniture, walling and acoustic applications, this durability has both environmental and commercial benefits.
Acoustic performance is increasingly critical in public and professional spaces. Whether in offices, education, or hospitality, noise control is central to occupant comfort and wellbeing. Classic Melton is frequently used in acoustic panels and wall systems, where its wool composition helps to absorb sound and reduce reverberation—while also bringing a refined, textural quality to the space.
Wool’s natural attributes go even further. It helps regulate indoor air quality by absorbing pollutants and managing humidity—properties that enhance user comfort and contribute to healthier interior environments. Classic Melton, therefore, doesn’t just meet technical requirements; it actively supports wellbeing goals in human-centric spaces.
The fabric’s versatility also adds to its sustainability profile. Designers can specify one material across multiple interior elements—seating, wall panels, acoustic systems—creating visual consistency while streamlining material usage and reducing waste.
Held in stock in our UK warehouse and available for immediate delivery, Classic Melton offers fast access to a high-performance, low-impact material—trusted across sectors where both resilience and responsibility are required.
This is wool with purpose: a fabric designed for durability, beauty, and acoustic function—supporting interiors that perform long after installation.
