Argentex

At Agua Fabrics, we believe that performance fabrics should not only meet the rigorous demands of commercial interiors but also offer something distinctive and inspiring to designers. Our Argentex collection exemplifies this approach—delivering outstanding durability and functionality, while introducing a refined metallic sheen that brings a contemporary sophistication to any space.

Whether used to add a hint of glamour to a hospitality project, or to create a sleek, modern finish in a workplace environment, Argentex offers a versatile solution where both style and substance are equally important.

A Contemporary Take on Classic Faux Leather

Argentex has been developed to bring a fresh aesthetic to the world of contract faux leathers. Its lightly metallic surface finish offers a subtle, elegant shimmer that catches the light without overpowering a scheme.

This gentle sheen makes Argentex a perfect choice for designers seeking to introduce a modern, elevated look to upholstered furniture, wall panels, headboards, and other interior elements.

Beneath its stylish exterior lies all the high-performance technology that Agua is known for—ensuring that Argentex stands up to the toughest environments without losing its signature appeal.

As with all Agua fabrics, Argentex is designed to perform in settings where durability, hygiene, and ease of maintenance are paramount.

Key features include:

• Waterproof – ideal for environments where spills and moisture are a concern
• Crib 5 Fire Retardant – meeting the stringent fire safety standards required in commercial interiors
• Stain-resistant – making it easy to clean and maintain
• Anti-microbial and anti-fungal protection – supporting cleaner, safer environments
• Martindale abrasion rating >100,000 rubs – ensuring long-term durability in high-traffic areas

These properties make Argentex suitable for a wide range of sectors, including hospitality, workplace, cruise, healthcare, and leisure environments.

A Refined Colour Palette

The Argentex collection offers a carefully curated selection of 21 metallic-inspired shades, each designed to complement a wide range of design schemes.

From cooler silvers and pewters to warmer bronzes and golds, the palette has been developed to provide designers with versatile options for both subtle and statement applications.

The ability to layer metallic tones with matte or textured fabrics opens up opportunities for creative, sophisticated interior schemes, where the fabric not only performs but elevates the overall aesthetic.
