JACQUARD FABRICS

Jacquard fabric takes its name from Joseph Marie Jacquard, who in 1801 in Lyon, France, invented a punched-card system that instructed a mechanical loom to control warp yarns in a coordinated way. This technological advance made it possible to reproduce complex, elaborate designs that previously could only be woven by hand.

Today, computerized data has replaced the cards, but the principle remains the same: an electromechanical device (the Jacquard machine), mounted above the loom, uses hooks to control groups of warp yarns or individual ends, raising those required for each weft insertion to create the desired pattern.

RenauxView offers a portfolio of more than 200 approved base fabrics, providing distinctive solutions for a wide range of applications, repeat sizes (20 to 150 cm across the width), weights (90 to 450 g/m²), colors and densities.
