Why Fabrica Kraft

Built for heavy daily use

Durable, cleanable fabric

Wipe-clean vinyl for high-traffic areas; Sunbrella for outdoor seating that stays out.

Any shape

Tiered seating, curved benches and window nooks cut from your drawings or templates.

Holiday-period installs

Plan production around term breaks so seating is ready for the new term.

Test results on request

We send fabric test results with your quote for your facilities team.

Buyer’s guide

Planning education seating

Measuring tiered and curved seating

Send drawings or a paper template for curves and steps. See how to order custom-shaped cushions.

Timing

Approve specs at least six weeks before a term break for custom shapes, or three weeks for standard shapes.

How it works

From your brief to your door

  1. 01

    Send your brief

    Sizes, quantities, fabric ideas and your deadline. Photos, drawings or old covers all work. We reply the same day during business hours.

  2. 02

    Approve the spec and quote

    You get a spec sheet with every dimension and option, plus a project quote. Nothing is cut until you sign off. Order swatches if you'd like to see the fabric first.

  3. 03

    We make it

    A deposit starts production, which takes 2–3 weeks for standard shapes, 5–6 weeks for custom shapes made from your template, and 8–12 weeks for Ultraleather and Gabriel. Rush production is available for standard shapes. If anything slips, you hear from us before the date, not after.

  4. 04

    Delivered, tracked and insured

    The balance is due before dispatch. Delivery is free Australia-wide, and every parcel is tracked and insured. Covers and foam may arrive separately, and foam needs 12–18 hours to expand once unpacked.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Can't find your answer? Email business@fabricakraft.com or call +1 302-803-5171.

Can you invoice the school or university?

Yes. Quoted projects are invoiced, with a deposit to start production and the balance before dispatch.

Can you make cushions for tiered or amphitheatre seating?

Yes. Send a drawing or template; custom shapes take 5–6 weeks from receipt. See custom shapes.

Are the fabrics easy to clean?

Yes. Vinyl wipes clean, and Sunbrella covers unzip and machine wash.

What are your lead times?

Standard shapes are made and dispatched in 2–3 weeks from spec approval. Custom shapes made from your template take 5–6 weeks from when we receive it, and Ultraleather and Gabriel take 8–12 weeks. Rush production is available for standard shapes. See how commercial orders work.

How accurate is the fit?

Every piece is cut within ±1.3 cm (½ inch) of the spec sheet you approve, and remade free if it's outside that.

Is there trade pricing?

Yes. Approved trade accounts get 10% off from approval, rising to 15% and 20% as your 12-month spend grows. There's no minimum order. See the trade programme.
