Over ten years ago, New York designer Sandy Chilewich introduced her first woven textiles into the international design community. Together with Joe Sultan, her husband and partner, Chilewich® designs and produces a growing collection of textiles for both commercial and residential applications. The firm’s ongoing innovations in material development provide functional design solutions that are both modern and easy to maintain. Our partners in the marine industry have found Chilewich® with Urethane backing  to be an exceptional solution where style, comfort and durability are a must as well as additional protection in environments where microbes are a concern. Chilewich® products contain Microban®. This antimicrobial protection inhibits the growth of stain and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew for the product’s lifetime. Chilewich® is an excellent choice for wall coverings as it is easy to clean and extremely durable. Backed with a non-woven scrim, a barrier is formed from the adhesive.

Installation techniques and materials are standard to all common wall- covering products. Chilewich® – “A Unique Product With Unique Characteristics” A note about bow and skew; the weave of Chilewich® Contract fabrics may not run parallel to the cut edge, therefore any wave, bow or skew in the product is normal due to the way the fabric is woven. The tolerance for bow and skew is 1.5” in either direction. Some patterns will also exhibit light and dark shading in the material that is also normal.

Traditional boat carpeting can hold water and start to smell over time. We’re going to show you how to switch out that old carpeting for a hard-wearing, modern looking woven flooring.We replaced the carpeting on our Project Powerboat, a Maxum 2900 SCR, with a woven flooring from Chilewich. Chilewich Floor Covering is an innovative blend of vinyl and fiberglass woven into beautiful designs and then secured to a polyurethane foam backing. The material cuts without fraying and is easy to work with and install. Plus it’s stain, mold and mildew resistant as well as anti-static and moisture proof. Clean it off with just a spray of the hose! Chilewich is a little more expensive than competing woven flooring options, but we really like it because it is a nicer weave and more dimensionally stable.

In our video, we’ll show you how to pattern and cut Chilewich for boat flooring. We also will demonstrate two different ways to finish the edges. For our boat project we opted to sew Sunbrella Acrylic Binding to the edges of the Chilewich but you can also fold the edges under to create a hem, or leave the edges raw (the material won’t fray). It’s all up to which look you prefer.Video Chapters:Patterning – 0:39 min.Creating Cutout for Table Leg – 8:05 min.Sewing Binding & Finishing Cutout – 10:53 min.Installing Snaps – 16:06 min.Hemming Edge & Sewing – 18:06 min.Materials List – 24:18 min.Materials List:3M Filament Strapping Tape #56433/8” Seamstick Basting Tape for Canvas #129Dura Skrim Patterning Material #10313472” Chilewich Floor Covering Fabric (we used the Basketweave Oyster #106735)1” Sunbrella Acrylic Bias Binding (we used Cocoa #103018)V-92 Polyester ThreadSnapRite Buttons (#104154) & Sockets (#333050)Tools List:Sailrite Canvas Patterning Ruler #1070401” Swing-Away Binder #100103Quick Fit Kit #102009SnapRite System Complete Kit #104500Scratch Awl Yellow #2354Soapstone Fabric Marking Pencil White #102766Sailrite Edge Hotknife Package (110 Volt) #103800Cutting Mat 18" x 24" #102990Clear
