Frequently asked questions
How does Nishiki perform against other Baresque vinyls?
At 250,000 double rubs (Wyzenbeek), Nishiki sits at the high end of the vinyl range, making it appropriate for the most demanding seating applications where abrasion and frequent cleaning are ongoing requirements.
Can Nishiki be used in LEED-rated projects?
Yes. The Greenguard Children and Schools certification and BIFMA e3 credit 7.6.1 compliance mean Nishiki can contribute to LEED credits for low-emitting furniture in commercial interiors.
How is Nishiki cleaned?
Clean with warm water first, then a mild detergent solution, then isopropyl alcohol if needed. For difficult stains, a diluted bleach solution (10% bleach, 90% water) can be used. Avoid solvent-based cleaners, lacquer thinners, or nail polish remover.
