Train Interior Textiles

Technical performance for demanding environments

Our textiles are developed specifically for trains and meet strict requirements for fire safety, durability and longevity, properties that are essential in a demanding transport environment. Gudbrandsdalens Uldvarefabrik has supplied textiles to public transport for generations, building solid experience from projects both nationally and internationally. Our textiles combine technical precision with lasting aesthetic quality, developed for modern train interiors.

Norwegian craftsmanship, tailored for train interiors

Through precise weaving and solid Norwegian craftsmanship, we work to find the right balance between technical performance and aesthetic quality. With long experience in developing textiles for demanding environments, we combine traditional craft techniques with modern technology to ensure high durability, safety and lasting expression. The starting point is always a holistic approach, where visual identity and interior design work together with requirements for function and performance.

The natural properties of wool

Wool is one of nature's most advanced materials, naturally flame resistant, durable and comfortable to sit on. It provides a comfortable and robust surface that withstands daily use, while contributing to a good indoor climate through the regulation of temperature and moisture. In addition, wool has excellent sound-absorbing properties and performs very well under the tough operating conditions that characterise public transport.

Tiny Pebbles is a light and understated wool quality with a subtle surface pattern that lends sophisticated visual calm to the interior. The quality is well suited for various parts of the train interior, from seating to other upholstered surfaces, where both comfort and aesthetics are important. The quality consists of 91% wool and 9% polyamide, with a durability of over 100,000 Martindale and excellent pilling properties (grade 5). It meets relevant fire requirements, including EN 45545-2 (HL3), R118 and IMO FTP Code Part 8.

Custom design – your own colours and patterns

With an in-house designer and a strong professional environment in product development, we develop bespoke colours and patterns tailored to each project. Whether an existing design is in place or a new one needs to be developed, the entire process is handled, from concept to finished textile. Adaptations can be made based on our colour library or through the development of unique designs. Lead times and minimum quantities are agreed per project.
