Marine Interior Fabrics

Abbotsford Textiles has supplied high-performance, IMO-compliant marine fabrics to the UK’s Ministry of Defence, Royal Navy, and BAE Systems since the early 1970s. Our expertise covers fire-retardant curtain and upholstery fabrics for surface ships and submarines, designed to meet the meticulous standards of military and commercial marine environments.

Over four decades, Abbotsford has built a reputation for technical excellence and reliable service. We design, manufacture, and supply defence-standard interior fabrics that are rigorously tested against IMO Part 7 & 8 regulations, flame retardancy (FR) standards, and additional criteria, including Def Stan 02-900 Part 3, 02-711 Smoke Index, 02-713 Toxicity, and BS EN ISO 4589-2 Oxygen Index. Our commitment to quality and compliance is further reinforced by ISO 9001:2015-certified Quality Management Systems and Cyber Essentials certification, ensuring a secure and fully auditable supply chain.

Abbotsford provides bespoke marine fabric solutions, for surface ships and submarines, including curtains, upholstery, seating, mattresses, headboards, bunk and door coverings, tracks, and accessories. We also support refurbishments, refits, and repairs, delivering NATO codified NSN fabrics and finished goods tailored to enhance ship habitability.
