Product

What are Chilewich products made from?

The majority of the Chilewich collection is made from woven extruded vinyl yarns in the USA. Some of our designs are made by using a molding technique with vinyl, such as Dahlia. Spun is made when liquid material is poured through tiny holes onto a moving melt and heat set. Our napkin rings are made from stainless steel and our napkin collection is made from 100% linen. Manhattan Trays are made of powder-coated metal. Our woven floormats are made from our durable signature woven vinyl textiles bonded with a flexible commercial-grade backing. Our Indoor/Outdoor Shag Mats are tufted and made from durable extruded vinyl yarns that are bonded to a vinyl backing.

How should I clean Chilewich products?

Can Chilewich products be used outside?

Chilewich placemats are suitable for outdoor use. Our Shag Indoor/Outdoor Mats and Rugs are also suitable for outdoor use. For more information about our care instructions, please visit our Care & Maintenance page.

Can I place hot objects on my placemat/runner?

Hot objects may damage your placemat/runner. Please exercise caution and use a trivet to protect your placemat/runner from excessive heat (200°F and above).

Do you products have a tolerance?

Chilewich products are individually crafted using specialized materials and techniques. Dimensions of stock-sized table mats may vary by ±3/8” (±0.95 cm). Dimensions of all other Chilewich products may vary by ±1/2” (±1.27 cm). Such variation is inherent to the fabrication and within the manufacturing tolerance.

Why are there seams in my floor mat? 

Chilewich fabric comes in 72" wide rolls. If the floor mat is wider than 6' in width, it requires using two mats and seaming them together. The seams always run parallel to the length and are in the middle of the mat unless there is a request to put it elsewhere. If a mat exceeds 12' in width, the two seams will be evenly spaced. Seams are visible, and they do contribute to the overall aesthetic of the product. Some seams are more visible than others due to the color and style.

Architects + Designers Technical Information

Where can I find all technical Information?

Please visit the Instructions & Documents page.

Can I install Chilewich flooring on surfaces with radiant heating systems? 

Yes, the heating must be off during installation and until the adhesive completely dries. After the installation is complete, the temperature of the floor must not exceed 85°F/30°C. 

How long does the flooring have to acclimate?

It must acclimate at the proper temperature 48 hours before installation. At 24 hours before installation, flooring must be unrolled and flattened.

What other adhesive could I use? 

We recommend the AAT675. If it is unavailable, the MapeiUltrabond350 multi-purpose adhesive can be used.

Will the AAT570 act as a moisture barrier? 

The AAT570 is a primer, not a moisture barrier. A moisture barrier product found locally will be suitable for the installation.

What subfloors can I install over: cork, wood, metal, etc? 

There is a variety of subfloors Chilewich flooring products have been tested to install over. Subfloors with cushion or too much "give" may disrupt the integrity of the installation.

What fire rating do Chilewich wall textiles have? 

All our wall coverings have Class A certification.

Where can I find Chilewich product testing results? 

All product testing results are listed within our product specifications. Please visit our Instructions and Documents page to view them.
